El Pais Icon Magazine

Jun 2026

In a sophisticated exploration of future-forward tailoring, the Vestir Bien en 2026 editorial for El Pais Icon Magazine redefines the boundaries of modern menswear. Through a series of carefully composed portraits, the feature leans into editorial minimalism to highlight the interplay of complex patterns and refined textures. Photographer Marcello Junior Dino captures a dialogue between classic structure and contemporary flair, utilizing a blend of studio strobe and soft natural light to emphasize the crisp details of pinstripes, woven pique, and high-quality leather. Stylist Jorge Garcia Valero orchestrates an intricate layering of garments, juxtaposing patterned knit vests and bold polka-dot shirts against sharp, double-breasted blazers to present a vision of versatile, elevated style. The project relies on the steady, poised presence of model Esteban Monbaliu, whose portraiture is enhanced by the precise grooming work of hair stylist Leon Gorman and makeup artist Océane Sitbon. By centering the composition on the tactile quality of the fabrics and the clean geometry of the tailoring, the series avoids excessive artifice, favoring a restrained, monochromatic sage and neutral backdrop. This commercial fashion narrative functions as a study in sartorial depth, proving that the most compelling style statements for the coming year will be found in the subtle, thoughtful combination of classic silhouettes and modern, textural complexity.
