FRANCA SOZZANI & ROBERT RABENSTEINER
“She’s extremely exhausted here. The shoulders are down, the legs, the eyes—everything is just … hanging. She’s not very happy about being photographed, so that’s affecting my read, but I like very much that she’s resting her shoulder against him. She’s saying, ‘I trust him. I can be myself.’ And I like how their heads are stretching a little towards each other. He’s a bit anxious. You can see by his foot and hand placement. If you look at the weight of his body, it’s down and slightly towards her at the shoulder.”

THE MISSONI CLAN
“Are these the ones that got that Target contract? I read all about that! You can tell they’re a lovely family. She [Angela] is curving in towards him, and the older gentleman [Ottavio] has that open-mouth-with-teeth-showing smile that guys only do when they’re actually happy. And look how relaxed his hand is on her shoulder—it’s not grippy. There’s real affection there. I like that Angela has a bit of her weight on him, which tells me there’s trust in their relationship. The other women [Rosita] has an enormous amount of energy. You can tell she’s a ball of fire.”
