Esquire Vietnam | Crimson Frontier









May 2026
Crimson Frontier for Esquire Vietnam serves as a masterclass in modern editorial photography, blending high-end menswear with experimental visual manipulation. Under the sharp creative direction of Simone Bronzi, who also handled casting and production, the project navigates the intersection of traditional portraiture and surreal digital artistry. Photographer Eugenio D'Orio captures a moody, high-contrast world where the subjects, anchored by model Roberto Sipos, are defined by their sophisticated silhouettes and a distinct low-key, chiaroscuro aesthetic. The imagery frequently employs complex live-action techniques and VFX, utilizing digital distortion, liquid-like ripples, and datamoshing effects to disrupt the polished magazine layout. This technological interference creates a visceral contrast against the tactile reality of tailored garments from brands like Canali and Hugo Boss. Stylist Alessandra Bloom ensures the sartorial details remain crisp, while hair and makeup artist Marom Tal Winshenk emphasizes raw, emotive textures that stand up to the heavy, saturated red palettes and stark monochromatic frames. The resulting work transcends standard fashion photography, leaning into a cinematic, graphic language that feels both timeless and aggressively forward-looking. By integrating clean typography with these distorted, experimental visuals, the project creates an immersive reading experience that challenges the viewer's perception of the frame, firmly positioning itself as a standout piece within contemporary magazine media.
