Against the alpine backdrop of Waldhaus Sils near St. Moritz, model Valentin Caron captivates the lens in VMAN’s winter narrative, “Break the Ice.” With each frame, photographer Lukas Wassmann harnesses the stark contrasts of the serene, snow-cloaked landscape against the vibrant sartorial choices.
There’s a palpable tension between the stillness of the frozen vistas and the dynamic energy of Valentin’s poses, crafting a visual dialogue that’s both tranquil and electric.
Styled by Robert Rabensteiner, Valentin’s attire is a curated wardrobe of luxury and sportiness, showcasing an eclectic array of pieces from Louis Vuitton’s adorned denim to the modern lines of Adidas, with touches of Bottega Veneta’s signature craftsmanship.
Featuring the likes of Polo Ralph Lauren, the VMAN shoot presents a versatile wardrobe that blurs the lines between high fashion and functional winter wear. The choices are deliberate, reflecting an adventurous spirit prepared to confront the elements in style.
Valentin Caron brings the same confident allure that marked his presence in Casablanca’s pre-spring 2024 campaign to this editorial. His ability to embody the essence of each brand creates a narrative that’s not just about the clothes, but also the character one assumes in them.
As Valentin strides through the wintry terrain or lounges amidst the icy shards, the editorial explores identity shaped by a fusion of fashion’s finest offerings for the colder months.
