Sophia Bianchi stood in the Louis Vuitton studio overlooking the Thames, soft afternoon light filtering through floor-to-ceiling windows while a photographer adjusted his equipment for the final shot.

The camera clicked three times in rapid succession, flash strobes bouncing off white backdrop, and Sophia held the pose with practiced ease, her expression shifting from confident to mysterious to playful across sequential shots.
"And that's wrap!" the photographer called out, lowering his camera. "Absolutely stunning work today. These will be perfect for the winter campaign."
Sophia relaxed immediately, the professional mask sliding away as she stepped off the seamless paper backdrop. Her assistant Cynthia appeared with a bottle of water and a tablet showing the day's schedule.
