Esquire Italia: Strangeways Here We Come

Oct 2026

Strangeways Here We Come is a fashion editorial series produced for Esquire Italia, featuring a collection of menswear portraits that explore layered textures and sculptural tailoring. Photographed by Thomas Cooksey, the project utilizes a minimalist studio environment to emphasize the interplay between structured outerwear and contrasting accessories. Fashion styling by Stephanie Kherlakian anchors the series, blending classic formal elements with contemporary streetwear silhouettes. The visual language relies on clean, directional lighting and sharp compositions, incorporating techniques such as analogue film and natural light to elevate the editorial aesthetic. The production features a diverse cast of models, including Alejo Lazzarino, Charlie Nicholson, Emmanuel Yebe, Goran Duchesne, Jun Hyung Hwang, Kai Wijers, Leander Cowie, Liu Qinzheng, Luka Hoogedeure, Mohammed Banze, Mouha Seck, Owen Ruppersburg, and Tristan Watkins.
