WWD: Modern Times

Nov 2025

WWD's 'Modern Times' editorial features a sharp exploration of contemporary menswear, captured through the lens of photographer Andrés Jaña. The series highlights meticulous tailoring and layered textures, balancing heavy leathers, denim, and fine pinstripes against minimalist studio backdrops. The editorial employs chiaroscuro and soft, natural light to elevate the subject’s silhouette, leaning into clean, retro-modern aesthetics. Fashion editor Alex Badia curates the styling, which emphasizes structure and detail through varied accessories, ranging from classic timepieces to bold eyewear. The project benefits from hair styling by Kiyonori Sudo and casting direction by Troy Westwood, with model Max Vespa serving as the primary subject across the series. The work integrates still life photography, utilizing clean, editorial framing to emphasize tactile surfaces and material depth.
