GQ Portugal: Reimagined Romanticism

Nov 2025

Reimagined Romanticism for GQ Portugal presents a nuanced exploration of contemporary menswear, blending classic tailoring with tactile, unexpected fabrications. Photographed by Luca Stefanon, the editorial leans into a palette of warm, earthy tones and stark monochromatic scales, setting the subjects against raw architectural backdrops and minimalist studio environments. Fashion styling by Julie Wozniak grounds the collection in purposeful layers, juxtaposing structured leather jackets and heavy wools with delicate accents such as sheer lace and ruffled collars. The aesthetic is defined by a rhythmic play of light, moving between the soft, diffused illumination of studio portraiture and the high-contrast shadows of natural golden hour street photography. Key visual narratives are brought to life by models Alex Dembovskis, Andrea Lai, Emils Germanis, Ilya Oksakovski, and Lucas Rozin. The project features grooming by makeup artist Silvia Acquapendente and casting direction by Carlo Savoldi.
