‘THE SHAPE OF OUR YOUTH’ EDITORIAL BY MARCO VAN RIJT

MARCO VAN RIJT’s editorial The Shape of Our Youth captures the sharp and intimate adolescent tension. ALVAR LAMBERT, KAI JIECH and PASCAL THULIN are framed against stark architectural backdrops, alternating between black-and-white tactility and cool-toned colour, in a way that feels both controlled and emotionally suspended. Luxury tailoring and oversized silhouettes render theatrical and elegant yet boyish, like an ode to the collective playfulness of youth.
