Description

MANIFESTO is an expansive fashion editorial project for Arena Homme Plus Korea, captured by photographer Pakbae. The series explores a theatrical narrative through a blend of contemporary tailoring and symbolic, fantasy-leaning props—from ornate ceremonial swords and crucifixes to fencing foils and painted pastoral backdrops. Featuring models Hojin Lee, Hoyong Kim, and Joji Iwase, the work leans into a highly structured visual language. The execution utilizes clean studio lighting, high-contrast monochrome grading, and dramatic chiaroscuro techniques to heighten the tactile quality of the featured garments. The resulting imagery balances precise, sharp tailoring with moody, painterly staging.
