Them Magazine

Feb 2026

In this evocative fashion editorial for Burberry featured in Them Magazine, photographer Kodai Ikemitsu crafts a visual narrative that leans into the intersection of heritage and modern intimacy. Captured against the stark backdrop of an urban park during the transition between late autumn and winter, the imagery utilizes natural light to ground high-end luxury in a raw, cinematic atmosphere. By balancing wide-angle compositions with intense, close-up profile shots, the project highlights the brand’s iconic trench coats and plaid motifs through a lens of quiet, human connection. The styling, curated by hair stylist Yu Nagatomo and makeup artist Takenaka, avoids excessive polish, instead opting for a lived-in aesthetic that allows the textured knitwear and structured outerwear to command attention. Models Adeleye Segun, Denetric Malope, and Lily Chapman navigate the outdoor space with a stoic yet emotive presence, their interactions providing a counterpoint to the rigid, classic geometry of the Burberry garments. This editorial aesthetic successfully translates the storied legacy of the fashion house into a contemporary lifestyle context, where the golden hour glow emphasizes facial contours and creates a sense of timelessness. Through these carefully arranged groupings, the campaign feels less like a traditional product display and more like a candid observation of style in motion, effectively bridging the gap between archival luxury and modern, youth-focused storytelling.
