In The Fab Four, 10 Magazine leans into the raw energy of contemporary masculinity through a series of striking editorial portraits that masterfully navigate the tension between luxury fashion and street-level grit. Through the lens of photographer Leonardo Veloce, the project creates a visual dialogue between high-concept sartorial choices and the quietude of urban environments. The editorial aesthetic is defined by a rigorous commitment to both high-contrast monochromatic treatment and soft, atmospheric natural light, allowing the intricate textures of the clothing—from delicate crocheted knits and heavy feathered trims to architectural ruffles—to take center stage. Under the discerning eye of fashion editor and stylist Karen Binns, the imagery captures a distinct cinematic quality, further elevated by the deliberate wet-look hair styling from Sebastien Bascle and precise makeup artistry by Emma Miles. The models, including Emilio De Duve and Maxime El Hanafi, inhabit the frame with an intense, candid presence that feels both posed and deeply authentic. By utilizing techniques such as 35mm film grain and chiaroscuro lighting, the team avoids the sterile sheen often associated with luxury fashion, instead opting for a narrative-driven approach that prizes mood and character. Casting director Conan Laurendot contributes to this cohesive vision, ensuring the ensemble carries the weight of the collection with a casual, cool-handed grace that grounds the high-fashion elements in a palpable, lived-in reality.
