Manifesto Magazine
Tailored Tied
Jul 2026
In the latest editorial spread for Manifesto Magazine, titled Tailored Tied, the intersection of sharp menswear and raw, organic landscapes is examined with striking precision. This fashion campaign leans into the interplay between high-end sartorial structure and the untamed, golden-hued beauty of coastal dunes and dappled pine forests. Photographer Brent Chua masterfully captures this tension, utilizing warm, natural light to emphasize the tactile quality of the fabrics—from rich corduroy and structured suedes to minimalist layered textiles. The project, styled by Jungle Lin, presents a sophisticated narrative where crisp, tailored lines meet the rugged unpredictability of the outdoors. With groomer Rio Kinoshita and model Hyun Jun Kim at the center of this visual dialogue, the series moves beyond traditional portraiture, adopting a cinematic, lifestyle editorial approach that highlights both the garment and the environment. Each frame is anchored by a deliberate use of natural light, which defines the depth of field and accentuates the neutral color palette. By juxtaposing modern, urban-influenced luxury fashion with the sparse, serene terrain of the beach, Tailored Tied creates a thoughtful, grounded aesthetic that feels both elevated and accessible, offering a masterclass in modern editorial composition that prioritizes atmosphere as much as the individual silhouette.
