The Face China we hug, we hold 2026

About

Editorial portrait featuring model Malte Carlsson for The Face China project We Hug, We Hold, photographed by Jialing Hu. The subject is captured in profile looking back toward the lens, wearing a bold black-and-white vertically striped short-sleeve top styled with a textured lace or fringed corset overlay. High-contrast studio lighting highlights an elevated, voluminous curly hairstyle, defined cheekbones, and an illustrated boxer tattoo on the forearm against a smooth gradient seamless backdrop.
