Esquire Germany Tres Chic 2025

About

The Tres Chic editorial series for Esquire Germany showcases a refined approach to contemporary menswear. Captured by photographer PA Hüe de Fontenay, the project features model Kit Butler in a succession of high-contrast studio portraits that emphasize sharp tailoring and structural silhouettes. The aesthetic leans into a minimalist editorial style, utilizing clean neutral backgrounds to highlight detailed garment textures and accessorizing. Across the series, the visual narrative incorporates monochrome palettes and soft light techniques, oscillating between static, pose-driven portraits and dynamic action-oriented captures. Fashion styling by Kai Margrander provides the cohesive thread, layering tailored suiting, knitwear, and quilted outerwear. Grooming by hair stylist Paolo Ferreira and makeup artist Alberto Boggeri maintains a polished, precise finish, while casting direction by Stephan Dimu frames the subject within a sophisticated, classic fashion context.
