The Rakish Gent Summer Blue 2025

About

The Rakish Gent presents 'Summer Blue,' a fashion editorial series capturing the interplay between the human form and the rugged coastal landscape. Photographed by Jacquetta Clark and featuring model Arran Sly, the project leverages natural light and high-contrast composition to emphasize textures ranging from wet sand to weathered limestone cliff faces. Working within a film-forward aesthetic, the series employs a mix of colour-saturated coastal hues and gritty monochrome imagery. The photography channels an analogue feel, utilising warm tones and deliberate grain to frame the swimwear collection against natural sea arches and open water.
