Photographed by David Roemer (Atelier Management), model Samile Bermannelli turns New York City into her runway for the September 2025 cover of SCMP Style. The Brazilian beauty makes traffic lights and street corners feel like front-row seats.
She blazes through Manhattan on a motorcycle, rocking Louis Vuitton sequins with unstoppable energy. The shoot captures pure movement with blurred sidewalks, swirling fabrics, and a city that never slows down.
Styled by Aryeh Lappin, Samile’s looks shift from graphic plaids to dreamy florals to sleek knits, each dripping with Vuitton’s signature polish. Beauty follows suit: makeup artist Deanna Hagan delivers a bold red lip that slices through the chaos, while hairstylist Gianluca Mandelli eortks on her long braids.
Manicurist Maki Sakamoto keeps the details sharp, rounding out a city-chic aesthetic built for motion. The result? A fearless take on glamour. It’s Louis Vuitton reimagined for the streets. It’s less museum glass, more urban asphalt. Samile rides, struts, and owns it all.
