""Tender Masculinity" inhabits the delicate threshold between boyhood and manhood, a space where innocence still whispers even as the world insists on armour. Structured jackets and precise tailoring meet the ease of Bermuda shorts, recalling the historic rite of passage from shorts to full-length trousers, once a visible signal of growing up. The discipline of menswear is tempered with traces of youth: bare knees, softened proportions and distorted florals as quiet emblems of tenderness. This is not the refusal of strength but its redefinition, a masculinity that embraces fragility as a vital part of its power."
Photography by Paulino Cobalto; the model is Joseph Rodriguez; grooming by Alex Marcos; styling by Cala Xiang incorporates a wide mix of designers and vintage pieces. "Tender Masculinity" occupies the threshold between boyhood and manhood, where lingering innocence coexists with societal expectations of armour. Structured jackets and precise tailoring are paired with the ease of Bermuda shorts, referencing the historic shift from shorts to full-length trousers as a coming-of-age signal. Menswear discipline is softened by visible youth markers: bare knees, softened proportions, and distorted florals that act as emblems of tenderness. Strength is reframed to include fragility as an essential component of power.
