V Man: City Sleeker - Bách Buquen

Sep 2025

City Sleeker is a monochromatic editorial project for V Man featuring influencer and model Bách Buquen. Photographed by Isaac Anthony with creative direction from Nicola Formichetti, the series leans into high-contrast studio techniques to highlight tailored silhouettes and textured knitwear. The compositions maintain a consistent vertical focus against a neutral seamless backdrop, showcasing a range of styling from sharp, structured double-breasted blazers to graphic knit vests and oversized leather outerwear. With hair styling provided by Peter Gray, the collection balances clean, direct lighting with moody chiaroscuro effects to define facial contours and fabric detail. The project leans into a minimalist aesthetic, often utilising analogue film techniques to capture the subjects movement and detailed tailoring.
