Numero Netherlands

Jul 2026

Captured for Numero Netherlands, this fashion editorial featuring William Franklyn-Miller serves as a masterclass in modern menswear styling, bridging the gap between rigorous tailoring and raw, urban storytelling. Photographed by Daniel Sars, the project leans into a cinematic aesthetic, alternating between high-key studio minimalism and a gritty, lo-fi reportage style. By blending sharp, architectural silhouettes with experimental textures—such as glossy vinyl trench coats layered over pinstriped shirting—the imagery creates a visual tension that feels both classic and contemporary. The styling by Charlie Cullen provides a thoughtful foundation, utilizing monochromatic palettes and tailored separates to emphasize form and posture. Across the series, the project shifts fluidly from the controlled environment of a studio strobe setup to the unpredictable, movement-filled backdrop of city streets. Techniques ranging from analogue film grain to VHS-inspired lo-fi filters enhance the narrative, imbuing the portraits with a nostalgic yet urgent energy. The result is an evocative portfolio that highlights Franklyn-Miller as a versatile subject, capable of conveying both pensive, understated intimacy and dramatic editorial flair. Through the careful manipulation of light, texture, and urban framing, the work successfully navigates the intersection of high fashion and street-level authenticity, cementing a sophisticated vision for Numero Netherlands that prioritizes character-driven composition over simple seasonal trends.
