Esquire Turkey

Aug 2026

For its latest editorial project, Kendi Yolunda, Esquire Turkey leans into a masterclass of refined aesthetic restraint, stripping away the excess to focus on the interplay between structured tailoring and organic, emotive storytelling. This commercial series functions as a visual dialogue between the human form and high-fashion garments, meticulously curated by stylist Veronica Bergamini to highlight texture, silhouette, and subtle subversion. Across a range of studio compositions, the photography expertly utilizes high-key lighting and soft, natural light to ensure that every fold of a double-breasted blazer or the vibrant punch of a mustard yellow suit remains the clear focal point. Casting director Anna Maria la Germaine has assembled a cast that brings a calm, deliberate presence to each frame, bridging the gap between editorial minimalism and a grounded, cinematic lifestyle quality. From the inclusion of delicate florals tucked into sharp lapels to the intentionality of analogue film textures seen in the portraiture, the project feels both timeless and contemporary. The work invites viewers into a space where style is defined not by noise, but by the quiet confidence of the subject. Ultimately, Kendi Yolunda captures a sophisticated, clean perspective on modern masculinity, demonstrating that when a vision is this precise, even the most minimalist backdrop allows for a powerful and lasting creative resonance that sits comfortably within the pages of a high-end publication.
