ADORNMENT AS MEMORY. KALYSS Campaign 2026 - Hair & Make-up by Melissa Righi
The Berlin-based jewelry label KALYSS presents its 2026 campaign – a sensual, reduced body of work in which jewelry is not staged as an accessory, but as a personal artifact. Hair & make-up: Melissa Righi c/o BALLSAAL.
At the center of the visual narrative, featuring model Yvonne Bevanda, are organic shapes, baroque-inspired pearls, and warm gold tones that merge seamlessly with the skin. KALYSS understands its pieces as consciously crafted one-offs: each object is handmade in Berlin, stones are individually selected, and forms are shaped intuitively. The result is not serial production, but modern relics – driven by the idea that jewelry holds and carries memory.
Melissa Righi translates this approach with precision into beauty: clean, understated hair, natural skin with a subtle glow, defined eyes, and a calm, high-end look that places full focus on materiality and expression.
The internationally working hair & make-up artist lives and works between Berlin and Paris. After training in Milan and early roles at MAC Cosmetics, she developed her own distinct signature. Righi has been part of numerous international Fashion Weeks – from Milan and New York to Paris and London – and works across fashion, beauty, and advertising, as well as with musicians and personalities. In 2022, she was a finalist on “Glow Up Germany.”
