Episode Synopsis


Gio Staiano is an Italian photographer whose work spans fashion, backstage and reportage. He moved to London in 1999, studied photography at LCC (UAL), and cut his teeth assisting on fashion, music, and still-life shoots in the UK and Denmark. Influenced by Guy Bourdin, Irving Penn, Annie Leibovitz, Nan Goldin, Peter Lindbergh, and Richard Avedon, he developed a clean, human-centered style that led to long collaborations with designers and houses such as Iris van Herpen, Vetements (from its 2014 debut onward), Lutz Huelle, Gucci, Hugo Boss, and Y/Project. Since 2011 he’s photographed fashion weeks worldwide while pursuing a seven-year personal reportage project using a discreet Fuji “pseudo-Leica.” His work appears in The New York Times, Vogue.com, i-D, Dazed, Elle, and The Guardian.
