Kartik Research Kartik Research S/S 26 Campaign 2026

Description

This black and white editorial image from the Kartik Research S/S 26 campaign, photographed by Phil Engelhardt with fashion direction by Julie Ragolia, features a man standing outdoors among ancient stone architectural ruins. The subject is wearing a dark leather jacket with a contrasting collar and trousers, positioned between weathered carved stone pillars under bright daylight casting sharp diagonal shadows. The composition captures a candid, contemplative moment with strong textural contrast between smooth leather and rough historical masonry. The natural lighting and high-contrast monochrome finish emphasize the sculptural quality of the ancient surroundings.
