YOUR CURRENT EDITORIAL IS TAKEN VIA ZOOM CALL. WHAT WAS THE CHALLENGE AND WHY DO YOU THINK IS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR CREATIVES NOT TO LIMIT THEMSELVES? I remember the first time I asked to a male model from MILAN if he wanted to shooti by facetime/ zoom, he was really excited, he is image from MOSCHINO and we were about to do it but then

DID THE RECENT SITUATION CHANGE SOMETHING ABOUT HOW YOU’RE PRODUCING EDITORIALS, PLAN PHOTO SHOOTINGS OR WORK WITH CLIENTS? Yes, absolutely, now I have to do all the pre-production online, all the meetings are limited by the amount of people, there are some shootings most of them videos that I have to change or cancel because of the restrictions and the clients are
