Kaltblut Magazine BRONX FINEST 2025

About

For Kaltblut Magazine, photographer and fashion editor Soren Drastrup crafts a visual love letter to urban identity with 'BRONX FINEST.' This fashion editorial series blends raw street-level settings—such as alleyways and laundromats—with high-contrast studio portraiture, exploring themes of heritage and personal growth through a distinctively nostalgic lens. The work leans into a tactile, zine-inspired aesthetic, incorporating collage elements, bold retro typography, and screen-print overlays. With makeup artistry by Lindsay Kastuk, the project oscillates between Y2K influences and 1970s-inflected streetwear, utilizing grainy analogue textures and warm, directional lighting to ground the subjects in a gritty yet elevated context.
