ICON America: The New Generation Supermodels

May 2025

For the ICON America editorial The New Generation Supermodels, photographer Paolo Roversi delivers a series of portraits defined by focused, directional lighting and clean studio environments. The project explores contemporary menswear through an emphasis on structural tailoring and varied fabric textures. Working with stylist Gro Curtis, the imagery leans into chiaroscuro and monochromatic palettes to highlight the form of garments ranging from sharp, double-breasted suits to relaxed, oversized tailoring. Makeup artist Adrien Pinault complements the aesthetic with a precise, minimalist approach that keeps the focus on the subjects’ expressions and the collection’s lines. Featuring models Kit Butler, Leon Dame, and Malick Bodian, the series utilizes soft light and subtle gradients to capture a tactile, high-fashion perspective.
