Numéro New York

May 2026

In a visual narrative that blurs the lines between nostalgic boyhood and high-end fashion, the latest lifestyle editorial for Numéro New York, titled Friends, Romans, Countrymen lend me ..., captures the essence of youthful camaraderie through a distinctively cinematic lens. Photographed by Andy Jackson, the series leans into the raw, tactile quality of 35mm film, utilizing natural light to elevate a series of rural and pastoral settings. Models Blue River Wild, Ian Jeffrey, and Samuel Watson inhabit a world where the domestic and the performative collide, moving seamlessly from playful, staged sword fights with hand-crafted paper props to quiet, contemplative moments in weathered rowboats. The styling prioritizes rich, varied textures, juxtaposing chunky cable-knit wools and tailored tweed blazers against the rugged backdrop of a rustic barn and sparse, wintry landscapes. By weaving together active, athletic snapshots—such as a mid-air game of American football—with intimate, soft-focus portraits, the project eschews traditional editorial minimalism in favor of a more layered, storytelling approach. The result is a grounded, evocative body of work that feels both candid and meticulously staged, effectively utilizing the imperfections of analogue photography to imbue the subjects with an authentic, timeless sense of belonging and discovery within the vast, natural environment.
