Fucking Young

Jun 2026

Summer Holidays, a striking fashion editorial for Fucking Young, masterfully blurs the lines between documentary observation and high-concept luxury fashion. Captured with the raw, evocative precision of 35mm film, the series presents a cinematic narrative that feels both timeless and deeply rooted in a melancholic, rustic aesthetic. Photographer Arthur Iskandarov utilizes a sophisticated monochrome palette and natural light to emphasize the rich tactile qualities of velvet, corduroy, and structured wool against the rugged, weathered backdrop of traditional garden architecture. Styled by Alex Klop, the collection pushes boundaries by juxtaposing disparate elements—equestrian gear and formal fencing uniforms sit alongside fluid trench coats and floral accents—creating a visual tension that is both eccentric and disciplined. Model Piotr Kubiak serves as the project's versatile anchor, shifting from contemplative, shadowed portraits to active, multi-exposure movements that lean into a dreamlike quality. By integrating candid interactions with elderly subjects and raw, textured environments, the work eschews traditional glossy fashion tropes in favor of an authentic, documentary-style approach. This project demonstrates a keen editorial eye, where dappled sunlight and deep, low-key chiaroscuro lighting work in tandem to transform everyday settings into a stage for modern, eclectic storytelling. It is a masterclass in atmosphere, where the stillness of the frame feels heavy with intentionality and profound stylistic contrast.
