Umm abt that video it's like. Pecco obviously has a beautiful face (and body, if I may say so) but to truly capture attention in a way that would make one stop and reconsider requires a certain type of, mystique? (For the lack of a better word). There is something about him that is extremely tethered to this world, and not in a sense that makes him self assured but more like, gives him cause to worry too much about mortal rules of right and wrong. And I think to truly capture that fleeting sense of fantasy one needs to have their head in the clouds just a little. A kind of haughtiness that comes from knowing you don't necessarily care about the ways of this world. Which conversely Vale possessed a lot of, and it made him who he is. I do think Pecco is a gentleman and sweetheart tho, which I respect because he's really good at sticking to the rules and it paid off for him real good, so who's the say, ya know.

Also the stylist could have taken more risk. They wanted him to look like the modern male fantasy when they should have leaned harder into his strangely timeless Byzantine mosaic face (as has been said on Tumblr before). But I suppose that would have been difficult given this was probably a ducati sponsored editorial.

a measured and fair analysis, thank you for your input queen. i mean of course vale has the it factor and magnetism that pecco doesn’t have, they’re two very different people and i don’t see much of a point in comparing them tbh! though i will say in terms of modeling capabilities vale is actually imo not that great at it. yeah david bailey did a good job with him bc he’s an iconic fashion photographer but in some other photo shoots i’ve come across he looks goofy af. like the right photographer and styling can make anyone look incredible and in this case it’s just a basic little feature in a smaller magazine it’s no vogue italia lol
