Alexandre Cunha graces the pages of Esquire China in a visual ode to fall titled “A River Runs Through.” Photographer Gautier Pellegrin captures the Brazilian model in a series of striking outdoor vignettes, where shadows play a key role in heightening the mood.
The natural setting of Val di Mello creates a dramatic yet serene backdrop, perfectly aligning with the layered textures and bold pieces that define the season.
Styled by Mirko De Propris, Alexandre’s wardrobe leans heavily on outerwear but with a balance of knitwear and tailored pieces that exude sophisticated ease. Featured looks include a standout beige waxed cotton blouson from Fendi with a bold yellow collar, giving the classic silhouette a modern twist.
Equally striking is the Gucci jacket—a striped python print that commands attention, blending the natural landscape with its luxe urban edge. A printed cardigan from Hermès further emphasizes the season’s emphasis on elevated wardrobe staples.
Grooming by Franco Chessa adds the finishing touch, ensuring Alexandre is poised for the perfect shot in every frame. His look remains effortlessly sharp as he navigates rugged terrain and designer fashion.
The styling transitions smoothly from rugged to refined, emphasizing texture that mirrors the editorial’s natural surroundings. Fresh off a scrappy editorial for Numéro Netherlands, Alexandre brings raw versatility to this shoot, embodying grit and grace.
