The 'Berliner' editorial exclusive for fashion website The Ones 2 Watch features illusionary images that are lensed by Robert Klebenow. The photographer captures model David Metcalfe in a dim studio setting as he poses in a set of [monochromatic and high-contrast captures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tag-collection). These model images are later enhanced with [fragmented face art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragments) that transforms traditional portraits into collaged masterpieces.

The Ones 2 Watch 'Berliner' fashion story highlights a wardrobe of understated sportswear staples that range from [minimalist black sweatshirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aaron-levine) to logo-bearing baseball cap accessories that are definitive of fashion's Normcore fad.

This alluring editorial plays with a viewer's perception and showcases collages by Jacky Hijstek. The artist experiments with various photo filters, image cutouts and pixelated techniques to create his fragmented photo collages.
