NY-based photographer Petra Collins is known for her sensual film photography and intimate portrayal of the strong women around her. For his edition of A Magazine, Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele offered Petra free reign to express her idea of ‘Blind For Love’, which took her home to Budapest, Hungary. During her summer vacation, she photographed her family members (including her cousin Palko, pictured above) in and around their home wearing a mix of their own clothes and Gucci Cruise 2017.
