Milan Countryside

A rural Italian fashion story exploring stillness, craft, and quiet elegance with Xavier Serrano.

Set against the gentle sweep of the Milanese countryside, this exclusive LEWIS© Edition story
follows international model Xavier Serrano (IMG Models) as he steps away from the runways of the
world and into a quieter, more intimate landscape. Guided by creative director Giorgio Branduardi,
the narrative blends rural calm with modern fashion sensibility—an homage to the Italian way of
living, where time moves slower and beauty is found in the details.
Here, fashion meets earth. Woods, stone walls, soft meadows and a lived-in country home become
a natural stage for stillness, exploration and reflection. Photographer Alessandro Burzigotti captures
Xavier not as a visitor, but almost as a local—someone who blends into the environment, moving
through the landscape as though it has always been part of him.
Xavier begins his journey along the woodland paths, surrounded by towering trees and the scent of
cold soil and morning light. There is a sense of grounding in the way he walks—no rush, no noise,
just the subtle language between man and nature. Inside the old country home, the energy softens
further as sunlight warms the terracotta floors and casts long shadows across the rooms.
This LEWIS© exclusive becomes not just a fashion story, but a portrait of serenity—an exploration
of how style can coexist with silence, craft, and the timeless Italian countryside.
