Where Masculinity Ends, the Real Story Begins
Oct 2025
Vogue Man Philippines presents Where Masculinity Ends, the Real Story Begins, an expansive fashion editorial series that challenges traditional tailoring through avant-garde silhouettes and textured compositions. Shot by photographer Jonathan Wolpert, the project features creative direction and styling by Alexandre Dornellas. The execution leans into raw, analogue film aesthetics, utilizing natural light and deliberate colour grading to unify organic settings with high-concept apparel. Featuring models Efraim Schroder and Elia Lee, the series oscillates between monochromatic studies and saturated, graphic portraits. The imagery emphasizes tactile details—ranging from feathered headwear and sheer fabrics to structured hoops and sculptural wraps—set against both lush outdoor landscapes and minimalist concrete backdrops. Casting by Bill Macintyre, the work maintains a surreal, artistic register throughout.
