RIDERS 2020

By PAP Magazine Editorial

Shot within a stable interior framed by wine-red corrugated ceilings and arched wooden gates, this editorial plays a bold chromatic game between burgundy tailoring and sky-blue shirting. The tailored jacket reads as deep wine-coloured velvet, cut with sharp lapels and layered over a powder-blue collar shirt; an emerald-green beaded choker necklace interrupts the classic suiting codes with an unexpected jewel-toned accent. Wet-textured cropped hair, multiple ear cuffs climbing the cartilage, and refined silver rings build a genderless jewellery vocabulary onto masculine tailoring. Warm incandescent light filters through the slatted wooden pens, casting a golden-hour glow across the ochre walls and creating pools of shadow that anchor the figure in space. The model's direct gaze and calm stance hold tension against the utilitarian roughness of the stable architecture, forging a portrait of contemporary masculinity that refuses to choose between urban polish and raw, elemental environments.
