About

The 'Sapere Aude' Focus Style #15 project is a series of fashion editorials featuring model Jum Kuochnin. The collection explores contemporary menswear through a lens of precise tailoring and tactile material contrast, ranging from structured leather and fur to layered knits and fluid, patterned fabrics. Photographer Karl Felix captures these compositions using a mix of clean studio setups and observational, natural-light environments. The aesthetic alternates between high-contrast, moody chiaroscuro lighting and warm, natural daylight. With casting by Eli Xavier and styling contributions from Kosuke Ikeuchi, the series maintains a sharp, minimalist focus on silhouette and garment texture.
