For The Capital Style of A New Fall, GQ China delivers a striking fashion editorial that juxtaposes contemporary tailoring with the historic and modern architecture of Beijing. Captured by photographer Shenyun Ren and styled by fashion editor Jiacheng Wu, the series features models Huanyuan Li and Liu Qinzheng in various urban settings, ranging from the Great Wall to the Beijing Hotel. The project employs a clean, documentarian approach to styling, highlighting structured suits and leather outerwear against both grand, ornate interiors and sprawling public plazas.
Through a mix of analogue film and digital frames, the editorial explores the intersection of classic menswear and the city’s monumental scale. By balancing desaturated palettes with warm, natural light, the series emphasizes sharp silhouettes and intricate textures, grounding high-fashion elements within recognizable, everyday landmarks.
