Rouge Fashionbook

Apr 2025

Captured by photographer Arturo Alcala for Rouge Fashionbook, this extensive fashion editorial series documents a series of high-contrast street portraits and candid moments set against the backdrop of a bustling cityscape. The project leans into a documentary aesthetic, utilizing analogue film and sharp monochrome grading to emphasize the structural interplay between tailored menswear and urban architecture. Styling by Sachiko Earlene Clyde pairs contemporary tailored coats and leather jackets with deliberate patterns, while movement direction by Jorge Dorsinville guides models Souleymane Sacko and Yan Li through dynamic poses—from reclining on stone structures to mid-stride movement across busy intersections. The imagery shifts between moody, low-key chiaroscuro lighting and crisp, natural daylight, resulting in a gritty, textured collection that centers on form and profile.
