RAMADAN
Captured through the lens of the talented Francesco Corti, RAMADAN by Al Badia Studio is more than just an editorial—it is a spiritual journey woven into visual storytelling. Featuring model Salah Farhane, each frame breathes serenity, embodying the deep essence of the Holy Month. Ramadan is a time of devotion, self-reflection, and discipline—a sacred period where the soul is nourished beyond worldly desires. This series beautifully evolves the message "Deen Over Dunya", reminding us to prioritize faith over the material world. The imagery serves as a call to awaken the heart, guiding those who may have lost their way back to a path of peace and purpose. Every photograph captures the interplay between light and shadow, mirroring the spiritual balance sought during Ramadan—the quiet moments of prayer, the resilience in fasting, and the profound gratitude at sunset. The editorial is not just a celebration of tradition but an invitation to reconnect with one's essence, transcending beyond aesthetics into the realm of meaning. Through simplicity and depth, RAMADAN is a testament to faith’s quiet strength, an artful homage to the sacred month that unites millions in devotion.VIDEOGRAPHER: FRANCESCO CORTI TALENT: SALAH FARHANE PRODUCER: AL BADIYA STUDIO SCREENWRITER: YOUNES EL OUAFIQ LOCATION: ROME, ITALY

WIN BY LOVE
The project pays tribute to the Palestinian and Congolese peoples—and, through them, to all communities marked by injustice. Here, love is expressed not through ease, but through endurance, beauty, revolt, and hope.
WIN BY LOVE is a committed visual ode where aesthetics meet resistance. Through a short film, the project pays tribute to Congolese and Palestinian communities and by extension, to all those scarred by war, violence and injustices, both economic and political. Navigating between utopia, reality, and memory, WIN BY LOVE celebrates love as an act of survival, transmission, and resistance. More than an artistic endeavor, it’s a soft yet powerful cry — a tribute to what remains standing when everything else falls: love, culture, and humanity. To maintain a clear focus on the message, a unique and purposeful style for each character was selected:
– For Congo: a cobalt-blue suit, drawing inspiration from sapeur culture, complemented by a brown drape that reflects the attire of traditional village chiefs.
– For Palestine: white, representing resilience, paired with a keffiyeh redesigned as an asymmetrical skirt, serving as both armor and a symbol of pride.
Distinct communities, yet... shared pains that converge, and at times, clash. Different histories, but wounds that resonate with one another.

FLAIR MASCULINE
In this spread, masculinity is reframed — not as rigid or restrained, but as fluid, expressive, and unapologetically stylish. FLAIR MASCULINE fuses classic male silhouettes with unexpected details: sharp tailoring meets daring color; structured pieces are offset by fluid fabrics; traditional menswear is reinterpreted through an artistic, almost theatrical lens.This is masculinity in motion — poised, powerful, and fearless in its self-expression. Whether in a velvet suit, sheer blouse, embellished jacket, or layered textures, each look celebrates a man unafraid to be seen, felt, and remembered. It's not about softness or hardness — it's about presence. Welcome to a new era where masculine energy doesn't mute itself to fit in — it flares, with purpose and polish.
