Esquire Portugal

Jul 2026

Esquire Portugal leans into nautical themes for 'Viagens de Gulliver,' a menswear fashion editorial that captures a series of coastal vignettes. Through the lens of photographer Leire Cavia, the project utilizes expansive, rugged shorelines and natural rock formations to frame a narrative of exploration and outdoor living. Styling by Manuel Angel Mendez Diaz brings an eclectic sensibility to the work, mixing structured blazers and military-inspired frock coats with relaxed linens, utility shorts, and playful accessories like diving fins and miniature model ships. Shot entirely in natural light, the editorial employs an earthy, tactile aesthetic, emphasizing the interplay between light, water, and texture across a wide range of coastal environments.
