Denim. It’s timeless, ubiquitous, and often overlooked. But in the hands of Milanese stylist Camilla and Dubai-based photographer Kian Kanani, it becomes something entirely new.
Camilla, Head of Styling at FAD and seasoned by years at Vogue Japan, has spent her career refining an eye for understated elegance. Kian, known for capturing some of the most striking magazine covers in fashion, brings a contemporary edge to every frame. Together, they’ve reimagined denim, not as a wardrobe staple, but as a canvas for creativity.
Their first editorial collaboration centers on the basics, elevated through texture, fit, and composition. Citizen of Humanity and AGOLDE, chosen for their quality fabrics and clean lines, provide the perfect foundation for this exploration. From classic cuts to elevated everyday pieces, the duo’s vision transforms familiar garments into statements of style, captured in a series of images that feel intimate, modern, and unexpectedly bold.
What makes this story unique is not just the clothes, but the perspective. For the first time, Citizen of Humanity allowed a shoot outside of its usual narrative and locations, bringing a full production to Dubai. The result is denim reimagined, a dialogue between styling and photography that presents basics in ways audiences have never seen before.

The editorial coincided with a special event at Harvey Nichols, highlighting the brand’s latest collection. Through Camilla and Kian’s lens, every frame tells a story: simple pieces elevated into refined silhouettes, textures interacting with light, and a quiet sophistication that makes the everyday extraordinary.
This is more than a single shoot. It’s the start of a creative partnership that celebrates reinvention, showing that even the most familiar pieces, denim, cotton, and wardrobe staples, can be transformed into something visionary when style and photography collide. Camilla and Kian prove that the basics don’t have to be basic, they can be a story all their own.
