Numéro Homme Switzerland

Jun 2026

In this evocative fashion editorial for Numéro Homme Switzerland, photographer Tak Sugita crafts a visual narrative that bridges the raw textures of industrial decay with the serene, expansive beauty of the coast. Titled Les Corps and featuring model Kyosuke Akiyoshi, the series leans into an aesthetic of editorial minimalism, where the deliberate juxtaposition of vibrant, primary-hued clothing against weathered concrete and marine debris creates a striking sense of tension. By utilizing natural light as a primary narrative tool, Sugita transforms functional settings—like a boat hull, industrial plastic crates, and graffiti-marked walls—into a sophisticated backdrop for high-fashion portraiture. The styling, elevated by the sharp, intentional grooming provided by Asahi Sano, emphasizes the fluid movement of the subject's signature long hair, which becomes a core compositional element across the varied frames. Employing a cinematic eye, the project incorporates analogue film techniques to soften the clinical edge of urban landscapes, resulting in a cohesive portfolio that feels both grounded and aspirational. Throughout the shoot, the interplay between shadow and silhouette highlights the architecture of the garments, ensuring the focus remains on the interplay of color and form. This work demonstrates a masterful command of composition, where the quiet, deliberate presence of the model anchor the surrounding industrial complexity, ultimately delivering a refreshing take on contemporary luxury fashion editorial standards.
