Elle Slovenia
Mediterranean Man




















Jun 2026
Mediterranean Man for Elle Slovenia is a striking fashion editorial that masterfully captures the essence of coastal escapism. Captured through the lens of photographer Davide Frandi, the series leans into the interplay between rugged geography and refined high-fashion aesthetics. Featuring model Denis Jovanovic, the project employs a cinematic approach to styling, utilizing everything from structured leather jackets and pinstriped tailoring to playful, graphic-heavy shirts. The editorial is defined by its deep commitment to natural light, frequently utilizing the warm, hazy glow of golden hour to illuminate the subject against a backdrop of shimmering seas and textured, dark-toned rock formations. By balancing high-key lighting with moody, low-key chiaroscuro portraits, the imagery creates a sophisticated narrative that feels both intimate and expansive. The work incorporates elements of analogue film grain and dynamic, live-action techniques to breathe life into the static frame, resulting in a cohesive lifestyle aesthetic that feels quintessentially Mediterranean. Every shot emphasizes the tactile nature of the garments, from crisp fabrics to intricate embroidery, positioning the collection within an elevated, aspirational context. This project stands as a testament to the power of thoughtful, on-location fashion storytelling, where the environment serves not just as a setting, but as an essential character in defining the mood and narrative of the high-end menswear showcased throughout.
