Numéro Istanbul Homme

Jun 2026

For the inaugural digital cover of Numéro Istanbul Homme, photographer Ferran Casanova captures a vibrant, high-energy narrative that redefines the traditional men’s fashion editorial. By placing a group of six athletic models—including Brennan Aldred, Giuliano Poplawski, Jhonattan Burjack, Josh McGregor, and Milhan Bouzidi—within a candid, urban environment, the project leans into a raw, lifestyle-oriented aesthetic that feels both authentic and immediate. The composition thrives on controlled chaos, documenting an interactive moment where models share a laugh and apply hair cream, effectively stripping away the polished artifice often found in high-end magazines. Utilizing natural light to cast soft shadows across the frame, the shoot emphasizes youth and physical confidence without resorting to over-stylization. Fashion editor and stylist Giorgio Andrea Branduardi rounds out the visual language with a palette of bright swim trunks and athletic casual wear, providing a sharp, playful contrast to the gritty street setting. With casting direction by Mattia Marazzi, the imagery masterfully combines live-action technique with a journalistic sensibility, resulting in a frame that feels like an unscripted moment frozen in time. This digital cover serves as a bold introduction for the title, proving that the future of men’s media lies in humanizing the subject through genuine interaction, textured visual depth, and a refreshed focus on contemporary, masculine vitality.
