In 1991, Frederic Meylan’s lens captured Monica Bellucci in Rome, unveiling the indelible allure of a nascent icon, a seamless blend of classic Italian glamour and raw, untamed sensuality.
Meylan’s series with Bellucci from 1991 is more than just a portfolio; it’s a visual thesis on burgeoning stardom. One image sees her, the eternal enigma, poised on a desolate, windswept landscape, a little black dress—timeless, scoop-necked, undeniably Dolce & Gabbana in spirit—clinging just so. A cascade of pearls at her throat speaks of a bygone opulence, sharply contrasted by dark sunglasses and the stark reality of holding her discarded high heels. It’s a compelling dance between the dressed-up fantasy and the gritty, beautiful truth of a Roman day.
