This is probably one of the coolest videos you’ll see all week: ridiculously attractive people jumping from ridiculously dangerous heights. Italian BASE jumper and fashion model Roberta Mancino teamed up with photographer Noah Bahnson and a host of other sexy suits to leap off Monte Brento:
The project was commissioned in part by world-renowned fashion designer Roberto Cavalli, and released in February, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Bahnson shot the photos and footage with cameras strapped to his helmet:

This video is a fantastic example of the type of thing most of us could and would never make.

Then again, it would look a lot more terrifying if these Italian supermodels didn’t somehow hold their typically stoic facial expressions the entire time.

The project certainly brings new meaning to the phrase “high fashion”.

they are awesome…i wanna try this indeed….their fashion and their body are all good…wow…
What is amazing is that you notice in some shots the female model jumped with her heels on but landed barefoot with the shoes in her hand. That means she had to take them off during the flight. Besides holding the stoic expression, that was an impressive feat of modeling LOL
You see where she takes them off just before landing. Not really as astonishing as you might think.
You want to try it?
Not today, thanks. I meet with the girls to do needlepoint at three.
Can anybody tell me about the song we hear in this spot?
^^Or the shoes just fell off by themsleves
Roberta u are just amazing!! RESPECT! ;))
They aren’t models! They are base jumpers and most likely athletic “models” who are simply dressed in high fashion clothing.
which doesn’t exclude them being models, since they modeled for a photo shoot.
Roberta is indeed a REAL Fadhion Model and when u r flying under your parachute (canopy) it’s easy to take your shoes off!!
base jumpers well dressed…. ok… what’s next ?
really really good stuff here
The photographer had a helmet but the jumpers didn’t?
wanna try this with my friends!!!
I love this – the models are great and the photography is even more impressive, to get those fantastic angles in free fall. I have watched this three times now. It is so exhilarating and inspirational. Thank you for sharing!
i want to try
What is the music? Does anyone know?
Wow awesome! What a cool photography concept….and now I want to go base jumping! haha
Chris – the song is “Non Capisco” (Capito). I found it on YouTube:

Thanks!!!
Great to have the video as a background to the stills photographs. I love it! Its like a virtual interdisciplinary ramp show with the music, the cool moves and I …. oh my gosh I wish I had looked at the clothing!!!! Ha ha ha … So its not a clothing fashion shoot. Its a photography pack shop shoot for the gear and its great!!!
Two girls (at least) are actually smiling: watch more carefully the video…
Completely wild and beautiful. How about some B role shots next time. I’m available. :) JOS

Can’t see how this has anything to do with either fashion or particularly interesting or good photography. Quite boring actually.
