Harper's Bazaar Vietnam

Jan 2026

Stepping away from the Upside Down and into the polished world of high fashion, actor Gaten Matarazzo anchors a sophisticated editorial feature for Harper's Bazaar Vietnam. Captured with a keen eye by photographer Tom Marvel, the project leans into a nostalgic cinematic aesthetic that bridges the gap between classic Hollywood history and modern storytelling. Matarazzo is presented in a structured grey wool coat and crisp white button-down, a refined departure from his typical on-screen persona that speaks to the versatility inherent in contemporary portraiture. The execution utilizes a blend of studio strobe and natural light to emphasize the rich textures of his attire, while the inclusion of a vintage film camera and a professional clapperboard provides a narrative anchor that honors his roots in film and television. Fashion editor Brendan Cannon expertly styles the look, stripping away excess to favor a clean, focused silhouette that allows the actor’s natural charisma to command the frame. Through this editorial lens, the shoot manages to feel both timeless and deeply relevant to the current entertainment zeitgeist. By layering these traditional production elements, the imagery successfully navigates the intersection of prestige media and personal branding, resulting in a series that feels like a candid, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the life of a modern icon, all while maintaining the high-gloss production standards expected from an international publication.
