Vanity Fair Espana

Sep 2026

In a striking departure from typical celebrity portraiture, the latest feature for Vanity Fair Espana starring Miguel Bernardeau captures the actor in a rugged, stripped-back setting that redefines contemporary menswear editorial. Photographed by Javier Biosca, the project leans into a cinematic and moody aesthetic, utilizing both the raw texture of natural light and the dramatic intensity of hard flash to carve out a distinct visual narrative. Through the styling of Joanna De La Fuente, the menswear is elevated by a focus on heavy textiles and layered silhouettes, which harmonize with the desolate, rural backdrops to create a sense of grounded, melancholic displacement. The choice of a high-contrast monochrome treatment, complete with visible film grain and analogue techniques, serves to emphasize the stark contrast between the subject and the open fields. This editorial effort, supported by the meticulous grooming work of makeup artist Lucas Margarit, feels less like a traditional promotional shoot and more like a series of stills from an unscripted feature film. By embracing both cinematic framing and low-key lighting, the team has successfully produced a high-fashion look that feels both timeless and urgent, proving that even within the polished world of media and entertainment, there is immense power in choosing to work with natural environments to craft an authentic, evocative, and deeply textured portrait of modern masculine style.
