When walking a tightrope, they say to fix your gaze on something steady. You are my steady point—my shadow, my twin, my closest friend and worst enemy. I reach for you, but you slip away. I retreat, folding into myself, while you perform for a crowd eager to see us fall. But there is no net, no fear—only you, my fixed point.
You hold everything I am not, every path I didn’t take. Missed moments, unspoken words, stolen days. You dance on the wire while I play below, weightless. But what if I let you fall? What if the wire snapped and we were free? Maybe then we’d see the tightrope isn’t a battle—it’s an embrace. Two halves of the same whole. And maybe, in falling, we’d finally learn to rise.
Have a little rendez-vous with models Valeria Fedorino and Valeria Neshko in this Schön! editorial photographed by Pascal Braeuer with fashion by Melissa Brollo who styles the pair in looks by Vivienne Westwood, Marni, Miu Miu and others. Hair is by stylist Dominique Ascione with make up by artist Edoardo Bacigalupi.
