Antlers, gold-wire halos and gowns with a weather system of their own. Designer Diego Ferrer made, styled and painted every inch of this story, then turned it loose on graffiti alleys, bridge underpasses and a fairy-tale park with photographer Andrea Botti. Lisa Kazmierczak and Dominique Baravane play it regal, wary and just a little bit cursed.
