Esquire China Stillness, Worn 2026

Description

This striking monochrome fashion portrait features model Zhichuan Hu captured by photographer Xia Shuxi for the Esquire China project Stillness Worn, with styling by Zhi Yong and hair by Xiang Zi. The subject is posed in a sharp black velvet jacket with piped trim, paired with a light-coloured collared shirt adorned with an elaborate crystal brooch pinned at the collar. Soft, even lighting accentuates the high-contrast tonal range and the detailed textures of the garments against a neutral seamless backdrop. The composition is rendered in a classic editorial aesthetic with a serious expression and refined framing.
