Per Appelgren photographed Riccardo Simonetti for the March 2026 issue of VOGUE Germany, created in collaboration with luxury haircare brand Kérastase.

At the center of the editorial is Simonetti’s instantly recognizable long hair, which becomes both visual statement and narrative element throughout the shoot. Known as a presenter, author and outspoken advocate for diversity and self-expression, Riccardo Simonetti has become one of the most visible voices of a new, more inclusive pop culture in Germany.

The collaboration with Kérastase highlights the brand’s expertise in haircare and styling while celebrating Simonetti’s distinctive look and personality, placing hair texture, movement and shine at the heart of the imagery.
