L’Officiel Hommes Italia graces its readers with a compelling editorial that can only be described as celebrating time-honored magnificence. Titled Welcome Back Über Models! the feature is a tribute to the iconic allure of seasoned model veterans.
With the likes of Adrian Chang, Alain Gossuin, Anthony Vibert, Arnaud Lemaire, Axel Hermann, and Sebastien Andrieu in the frame, it’s a striking homage to the enduring charm of professional models who have graced fashion’s pinnacle stages.
This assembly of talent brings a profound nostalgia, yet their presence is as commanding and contemporary as ever, proving that true style is indeed ageless.
Matthias Vriens-McGrath’s lens captures this narrative with a vibrant, raw, elegant energy. Each image resonates with a narrative that’s as much about the models’ storied pasts as it is about the timeless essence they bring to the camera’s eye.
The visuals are a masterful blend of boldness and simplicity, showcasing the subjects in an edgy and profoundly human light. The vibe is unapologetically honest, presenting an unfiltered look allowing the models’ personalities to take center stage.
The sartorial choices, curated by stylist Giulio Martinelli, are equally compelling. Fashion brands like Versace, Burberry, Fendi, and Loewe contribute sophisticated and daring pieces, perfectly aligning with the editorial’s theme.
