Fantastic Man: Hide

Oct 2025

Hide is a menswear editorial spread for Fantastic Man, centering on the tactile and architectural qualities of leather apparel. Photographed by Paul Kooiker, the series emphasizes sculptural tailoring and high-contrast studio silhouettes. The project leans into a monochrome palette, utilizing hard light and deep shadows to accentuate the interplay between organic forms and structured garments. Fashion editor Gerry O'Kane frames the collection through avant-garde styling, featuring leather pieces that range from oversized, enveloping hoods to sharp, tailored trench coats. Models Henry Rank and Ivo Raspudic are featured throughout, with hair design by Kim Rance and makeup by Kathinka Gernant, creating a clean yet moody aesthetic that highlights both the texture of the materials and the precision of the photography.
