Ruben is a fashion editorial series produced for Parachute Magazine, exploring the intersection of military-inspired tailoring and contemporary streetwear. Photographed by Morgan Roberts, the project leans into a mix of desaturated studio portraiture and gritty, high-contrast monochrome imagery.
Fashion editor and stylist Myles Mansfield-Calenti curates a range of structured silhouettes, pairing elaborate, gold-braided military jackets and ornate blazers with relaxed, textured trousers and functional streetwear staples. With casting by Jonathan Johnson, the series shifts between minimalist studio backdrops and industrial outdoor settings.
Techniques such as analogue film capture and natural light emphasize the tactile qualities of the garments, from intricate embroidery to heavy fabric layering. The editorial maintains a consistent focus on form and texture throughout.
