Telegraph Luxury Artistic Leanings 2026

About

Artistic Leanings is a fashion editorial series for Telegraph Luxury that explores contemporary menswear through a lens of classic architecture and refined tailoring. Photographed by Daniel Benson with styling by Tona Stell, the project features models Josef Ptacek and Makur Mabor across a variety of moody, warm-toned interior and exterior settings. The imagery utilizes soft, directional lighting to highlight the tactile qualities of layered autumn ensembles, from structured camel overcoats and tailored wool suits to patterned knits. The compositions are framed against wood marquetry, sandstone columns, and vintage tilework, evoking a contemplative atmosphere. Casting by George Raymond Stead rounds out the production.
