Snapped by Tommy Ton: “There’s always an element of surprise in the way Diletta wears her clothes”

“A New York girl might have worn heels or sneakers, but she’s done a lace-up boot – there’s a menswear element here.”

“There’s always an element of surprise in the way Diletta wears her clothes. I love that play of the length of the trench and the width of the culottes. She’s paired the trousers with a flat ankle boot – these younger girls in Italy have a really interesting sense of proportion and play with the way clothes fit. A New York girl might have worn these heels or sneakers, but she’s done a lace-up boot – there’s a menswear element here. She’s also made it very much about the single earring. Later that day she added a red bandana just under the lapel of her trench. These subtle touches elevate the look. Of all the things I was seeing at the time, this look felt refreshing to me, so it was worth taking time to set up the photo. I knew the tram tracks were just down the street. It’s quite rare that I ask someone to walk a few minutes with me to where it’s quiet so I can take a portrait. Diletta has quickly become one of my favourites to shoot. Every day I cross my fingers and hope I’m going to see her.”
