The Face China we hug, we hold 2026

About

Model Malte Carlsson poses in an avant-garde menswear ensemble for The Face China project titled We Hug We Hold, captured by photographer Jialing Hu. The styling highlights heavily layered black garments, featuring an oversized tailored overcoat draped over a ruched, high-neck quilted vest. Shot in monochrome with diffused studio lighting, the composition balances deep shadows on the garments against a soft grey gradient backdrop. The model gazes forward with a serious expression beneath voluminous, swept-up textured hair.
