English Version | Sugar and Spice

 And everything nice. Even when the scenery is 50 shades of grey. Even when the background inspires black and white. Even when the surroundings breathe a hint of decadence, the purest and most colorful side of innocence still has room to thrive, to grow, to exist. Like a flower that bursts through the gaps in a cement walkway, or the heat of the sun that warms your face on a freezing day. Or like that lyric by Leonard Cohen, which may even seem like a commonplace and which, even so, has a lot of value beyond its (apparent) cliché label: there’s a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. When the world brings you lemons, let's sugar coat them all. Photography by Sara Fabbri. Styling by Dominico Diomede.
