This week's top Esquire Australia projects, carefully handpicked by Visie's expert curators, showcase the best in style and innovation.
Project Esquire Australia · Uniqlo Winter
In a sophisticated showcase of seasonal layering, Esquire Australia’s collaboration with Uniqlo for the Uniqlo Winter campaign redefines cold-weather dressing through a lens of clean, architectural minimalism. This fashion editorial campaign, expertly captured by photographer Marco Di Stefano, elevates everyday knitwear into a study of form and texture. By leaning into an editorial style that emphasizes soft, natural light, the visuals transform utilitarian staples—charcoal wool coats, structured puffer vests, and classic trench coats—into refined wardrobe essentials. Fashion editor and stylist Grant Pearce brings a distinct visual language to the project, utilizing the bold, unexpected layering of vibrant red and purple knit sweaters draped over monochromatic bases to inject personality into the crisp, modern aesthetic. The series moves seamlessly between precise, studio-based portrait work and relaxed lifestyle photography, utilizing urban architectural backdrops to ground the collection in a contemporary context. The result is a polished, highly curated visual narrative that masterfully balances the functional requirements of winter attire with high-fashion sensibilities. Through the expert use of shallow depth of field and consistent, daylight-oriented lighting, the team creates a coherent aesthetic that feels both accessible and aspirational, perfectly capturing the intersection of comfort and style inherent in the Uniqlo brand identity while pushing the boundaries of traditional high-street lookbook imagery.
Project Esquire Australia · New Bottega
In a sophisticated showcase for Esquire Australia, the New Bottega project redefines contemporary luxury fashion through a lens of stark, minimalist editorial photography. Under the expert eye of photographer Dean Podmore and the guidance of fashion director Grant Pearce, the series leans into the intersection of heritage Italian tailoring and modern structural design. By utilizing a clean studio environment and a balanced mix of studio strobe and natural light, the campaign elevates the iconic Bottega Veneta aesthetic to new heights of refinement. The imagery features a curated selection of menswear, from belted trench coats and pinstriped suiting to leather outerwear, all punctuated by the brand’s signature woven handbags. The execution relies on a restrained palette and polished composition, effectively blending high-key portraiture with lifestyle elements to highlight the tactile textures of leather and faux fur. Through techniques such as multiple exposure, the project creates a sense of rhythmic movement across the page spreads, while still maintaining an atmosphere of professional stillness. The result is an evocative fashion editorial that prioritizes clean lines and high-end sensibilities, positioning the collection as a study in masculine grace. By stripping away extraneous noise, the photography ensures that the precise tailoring of every garment remains the focal point, creating a lasting impression of quiet, deliberate luxury that feels both timeless and distinctly relevant to the current fashion landscape.

Project Esquire Australia · Simon Baker
Esquire Australia presents a comprehensive editorial feature centered on actor Simon Baker.

The project leans into editorial portraiture, utilizing both low-key chiaroscuro techniques to heighten textural detail and natural light to capture a sense of candid, coastal ease. The styling, curated by Grant Pearce, balances structured tailoring—including patterned blazers and leather jackets—with softer knitwear layers, supporting a versatile narrative aesthetic. Produced by Jo Sinclair with grooming by Linda Jefferyes, the work relies on a combination of monochromatic compositions and desaturated, cool-toned colour grading to maintain a cohesive visual identity across the spread.
