Stylist John Tan curates a wardrobe of show-stopping looks that pack a punch with their uniqueness yet still convey a sense of vulnerability. From Issey Miyake’s avant-garde designs to Versace’s bold statements, each look reflects the power of fashion to evoke emotion.

The outfits are elevated by delicate flowers by ASMITE, adding a touch of whimsy to the overall aesthetic. Meanwhile, Mark’s sleek hairstyle, crafted by Fernando Torrent, features a slick back and side part that perfectly complements the shoot aesthetic.

Altogether, the fusion of fashion and florals encapsulates a vision of modern masculinity. By softening the strict design codes often associated with menswear, a more nuanced and gentle approach to masculine style takes root.
