HERO Magazine

Mar 2025

HERO Magazine's AMAZING / Collections project presents a series of high-contrast fashion editorials focused on sculptural menswear and avant-garde tailoring. The series, captured by photographer Sungmin Kim, leans into a stark monochrome palette to emphasize garment textures, from heavy wools and fringe-detailed leather to layered knits. Fashion editor and stylist Peghah Maleknejad shapes the visual narrative, alternating between grit-heavy outdoor street settings and minimalist studio portraits. The execution frequently utilizes analogue film techniques to heighten the interplay between shadow and silhouette, with casting directed by Svea Greichgauer and grooming by Miki Matsunaga. Models Muzakir Masahudu, Nicola Macchi, and Nikita Gnetnev feature throughout the editorial, reflecting a raw, cinematic approach to classic fashion portraiture.
