The Manual Review: The Menswear Edit

Dec 2025

The Menswear Edit for The Manual Review presents a study in contemporary sartorial layering and deconstructed tailoring. Photographed by Mathieu Rainaud, the editorial series explores modern male fashion through a series of high-key studio portraits that emphasize texture, fabric weight, and bold color blocking. Creative directors Juan Duque and Nima Habibzadeh guide the aesthetic, which pairs structured blazers and utility outerwear with intricate shirting and graphic knitwear. The compositions maintain a clean, editorial focus, utilizing minimal backdrops to highlight the deliberate styling by Roberto Piu. Grooming by Natsumi Ebiko adds a polished finish to the portraits, while casting by Anita Bitton and Richard Nguyen rounds out the project’s refined visual identity.
