In a grainy 45-second video posted at 2 a.m., Smeraldi walks empty Roman streets alone. No music. No tags. The “x” in the title stands for xenía (ancient Greek for “foreigner” or “stranger”). The series, a collaboration with underground filmmaker Elisa V., captures Smeraldi in uncut, unglamorous moments: rain on a train window, a half-eaten pastry, a single tear wiped before a mirror.

Fans are calling it her “anti-influencer” era. “Martina Smeraldi x Solitude” reminds us that behind every grid post is a real person—and sometimes, the most powerful content is the one you never planned to share. Title: Martina Smeraldi x Club Culture: The DJ Debut

Under the moniker (Martina Smeraldi X-perience), the 23-year-old Italian tastemaker is set to debut a one-night-only set at Milan’s legendary Tunnel Club. The “x” in the title represents a collision: x-rated bass, x-static fashion, and x-perimental techno.

Whispers from Milan Fashion Week suggest Smeraldi is moving beyond modeling and into co-design. The alleged “Martina Smeraldi x [Unknown]” capsule focuses on deconstructed denim, Y2K mesh tops, and oversized outerwear with a digital-glitch print—a nod to her social media persona.

First she dominated TikTok. Then the runways. Now? Martina Smeraldi is sliding behind the decks.

Italian digital creator Martina Smeraldi has built her brand on connection—pouts, poses, and perfectly lit carousels. But her latest project, simply captioned “x” , flips the script.
