Behind the Blinds

Apr 2026

Maybe I Could Love You is a striking fashion editorial featured in Behind the Blinds that masterfully explores the intersection of classic tailoring and contemporary subversion. Through a series of minimalist portraits, the project interrogates modern masculinity by stripping back traditional luxury silhouettes to reveal raw, vulnerable sensibilities. Photographer David Macke captures his subjects with a precise, clean eye, utilizing a blend of studio strobe and natural light to emphasize the rich tactile qualities of velvet, leather, and lace against stark, high-contrast backdrops. Fashion editor and stylist Mauricio Quezada orchestrates a narrative of deliberate contradiction, pairing structured, cream-colored blazers and monogrammed velvet trousers with unexpected elements like athletic shorts and distressed denim. This juxtaposition is further refined by the grooming expertise of hair stylist Dennis Devoy and makeup artist Regina Harris, whose work ensures a polished yet organic finish across the diverse cast. Models Ben Brooks, Joey Phillips, and Stefano Scholtens anchor the project, leaning into an aesthetic of editorial minimalism that feels both timeless and aggressively current. By grounding the styling in deliberate layering and bold, saturated color palettes—occasionally punctuated by the poetic inclusion of a single red rose—the team creates a nuanced visual dialogue. The project channels an intentional, contemplative mood that elevates the medium of the studio portrait, firmly establishing its place within the elevated landscape of contemporary luxury fashion.
