Latest Magazine

Apr 2026

In this evocative series for Latest Magazine, photographer Charlotte Navio redefines the intersection of classic tailoring and contemporary character, leaning into a sharp, fashion-forward sensibility. Working within the exacting realm of luxury fashion, Navio orchestrates a dialogue between her subjects, models John Igwe and James Igwe, whose synchronized, mirror-like poses establish a rhythm that elevates the editorial narrative. The project finds its strength in the deliberate contrast between rigid, traditional business attire and the playful, idiosyncratic addition of berets pinned with an array of enamel charms. Whether utilizing the clinical precision of studio strobe lighting to achieve a crisp, commercial finish or pivoting to the atmospheric depth of analogue film, the imagery consistently prioritizes a clean, minimalist aesthetic. The interplay of texture—from deep burgundy velvet to structured wool—is brought into sharp focus, with the grooming artistry of hair stylist Damien Lacoussade and makeup artist Maud Eigenheer ensuring every detail remains polished against the stark backdrop. With nuanced casting by Olivier Duperrin, the portrait series transcends the standard lookbook, positioning the garments not just as clothing, but as essential components of a broader, curated identity. It is an exploration of form and personality that feels both timeless and distinctly relevant, perfectly capturing the nuanced essence of modern menswear editorial.
