Man About Town

Oct 2025

Palacio, a fashion editorial for Man About Town, explores the intersection of contemporary high-fashion and neoclassical interior design. The project centers on model Ibra Niakate within an opulent, weathered chamber, utilizing the ornate architectural details of a historic estate to frame a series of bold, tailored looks. Photography by Ferran Casanova captures the narrative through a mix of high-contrast flash lighting and soft, natural light, leaning into a saturated and retro-inspired aesthetic. Fashion editors Cristian Betancurt and Luke Day oversee the styling, which juxtaposes structured, wide-leg suiting and leopard-print outerwear against the grandeur of gilded frames and frescoed walls. The series includes both intimate, moody portraits and expansive, symmetrical compositions, benefiting from casting by Dailos Ramos and executive production by Lor Solano.
