Grey Magazine Italy

Jul 2025

Grey Magazine Italy presents WE COME IN PEACE, a fashion editorial that explores menswear through a raw, observational lens. Photographed by Alessandro Lo Faro under the direction of Editor-in-Chief Valentina Ilardi, the series features model Rafa Noah in an array of eclectic, textured ensembles that juxtapose high-fashion silhouettes with gritty, urban environments. The project channels a documentary aesthetic, utilizing natural light to highlight the intricate details of the styling, from embroidered patches and plaid patterns to architectural headwear and safety-pin embellishments. By framing the subject against weathered concrete, rusted metal, and street-art-covered walls, the editorial leans into a moody, layered visual language. The series employs techniques such as analogue film, diptych layouts, and clean compositions to present a contemporary take on classic tailoring.
