U Repubblica Blackout 2026

About

Photographed by David Sims for U Repubblica as part of the project Blackout, this black-and-white fashion editorial features three male models styled by Max Pearmain. The subjects are arranged in a structured studio composition against a smooth neutral backdrop, with two shirtless models in cropped black trousers flanking a central figure wearing an unfastened dark overcoat. Hair styling is by Paul Hanlon and casting is directed by Piergiorgio Del Moro. Soft directional lighting sculpts the subjects and accentuates the clean lines of the tailoring.
