EDITOR’S NOTE
Le Début? Welcome to Première Partie of The Perfect Man Nº145. We begin with Spanish standout Joel Culell and Front Management’s Daniele Carettoni, whose presence commands the lens. Next, Gennaro Lillio, Dolce & Gabbana’s Light Blue Sun perfume man, exudes refined winter elegance, followed by Joe Ryan, with his striking hazel eyes. Ismael Werlang is captured in the vibrant light of Brazil wearing archival Versace, alongside a curated portrait of modern masculinity in Barcelona by contributing editor Ferran Casanova. From Paris, Kirill Karpenko exudes European poise, photographed by Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca, exploring fluid style, while German actor Kim Tränka challenges traditional notions of masculinity. Finally, Joel Conceicao, in intimate art portraits by Ruben Tomas, radiates strength, charisma, and lived-in elegance. This is just the beginning of Nº145—consider it the first spark of a season devoted to style, presence, and the art of modern manhood.

Elegance & Optimism: Black tie, rethought. Classic suiting is sharpened and softened in equal measure, worn with a lightness that feels instinctive rather than imposed. Fresh face Joel Culell brings a quiet confidence to the frame—where elegance is precise, optimism understated, and tradition subtly shifted forward.

All I Need is You: Joe Ryan inhabits the season’s most refined menswear, moving through his hotel room and city streets with undone sophistication. Each gesture, from phone calls to quiet reading, carries a quiet anticipation—a study of modern masculinity in soft light and suspended time. Fashioned by Craig Andrew James.

The Quiet Light: Let intuition lead you toward what truly shines. In refined silence, every detail distills into essence—harmony, light, and form unfolding like a revelation. Perfection lives in balance, like a painting suspended in time, capturing the magic of an eternal moment. Fashioned by Sofia Gradassi in Milan, Italy.

A New Dawn: Classic suiting meets relaxed elegance with Daniele Carettoni, where precision tailoring and softened silhouettes coexist in perfect balance. Suits and ties are worn with quiet authority, then eased into a more fluid, instinctive refinement. Italian by nature, effortless by design, and grounded in modern confidence.

Do Not Disturb: Gianni Versace’s opulent sensuality unfolds against a Brazilian maximalist backdrop, embodied by Ismael Werlang’s sensual, sun-drenched presence. Baroque excess collides with tropical intensity, with looks drawn from Alexandre Stefani’s designer archive and refashioned by celebrity Stylist Marcos Lacerda.

Rive Droite: Kirill Karpenko walks the Rive Droite in Paris. Sunlight hits cobblestone streets as the city hums around him, a quiet rhythm in motion. His look balances nostalgia and modern edge, a dialogue between music, art, and fashion. Every frame captures contrasts, with soft light, sharp tailoring, and casual rebellion, where style meets the city.
