Esquire Kazakhstan
don't stop the music
Jul 2026
Esquire Kazakhstan captures a symphony of style and sound in their latest fashion editorial, Don't Stop The Music. This sophisticated project masterfully blurs the lines between high-end menswear and musical performance, presenting a series of portraits that lean into a nostalgic, cinematic aesthetic. Through the lens of photographer Vinyet Feliubadaló, the series explores the intersection of classic tailoring and instrumental artistry. Featuring models Byeong Jik Oh and Dan Rogers, the shoot channels a quiet, contemplative mood, utilizing soft lighting to accentuate the tactile richness of forest green knits, structured beige suits, and pinstriped trousers. Fashion editor and stylist Olya Voleva curates a wardrobe that feels both vintage-inspired and contemporary, pairing sharp silhouettes with unexpected details like cobalt blue sweaters and bold polka-dot motifs. The compositions, often grounded by ornate rugs and mottled, earth-toned backdrops, evoke a moody, academic charm. By integrating musical props—from brass trumpets and cellos to vintage sheet music suspended in mid-air—the team employs a live-action technique that suggests a narrative of creative focus and performance. This editorial spread for Esquire Kazakhstan serves as a testament to the power of texture and tonal harmony, proving that the language of fashion and the rhythm of music share a common, elegant aesthetic framework that resonates deeply within the luxury media landscape.
