Dapper Dan Magazine

Apr 2025

Dapper Dan Magazine presents its Spring/Summer 2025 covers for issue #31, marking a return to the publication’s signature editorial aesthetic. The series features a diverse range of portraiture, moving between the precision of soft studio lighting and the high-contrast intensity of natural daylight. These covers lean into a tactile exploration of fashion, utilizing varied textures from leather and silk to structured tailoring. Photography for the issue is contributed by Cedric Buchet, Johan Sandberg, Tarek Mawad, and Vassilis Karidis, with styling direction from Dimphy den Otter, Lisa Jarvis, and Nicholas Georgiou. The visual narratives across these covers are defined by deliberate editorial choices, ranging from monochromatic analogue film techniques to gritty, hard-light portraiture and clean, high-contrast studio setups. The session also features grooming by Daniel Babek, Athina Karakitsou, Aya Murai, Miika Kemppainen, and Suzanne Verberk, with casting orchestrated by Alexandra Sandberg. Featured talent includes Alvar af Schultén, Clement Chabernaud, Mamuor Majeng, Mike Vasilakis, Muzakir Masahudu, and Xu Meen.
