The Nate Hill by Brent Chua portrait series features a color palette of stark menswear staples. Captured in dapper classics, the seventeen-year-old model dons a multitude of flawlessly tailored jackets, sharp button-ups and clean-collared looks.

The model sports designer looks from the likes of Won Ki Lee, Gucci and Pauline Choi. Showcasing a slew of rich textures, this editorial highlights tweeds, silks and knit textiles. Displayed in a bold palette of luxe grey, black and white tones, this shoot’s crisp wardrobe marks a revival of past menswear styles.

From relaxed layers to impeccably tailored looks, the Nate Hill by Brent Chua portrait series is lensed on city streets.
A contemporary take on gentlemanly urban menswear, this elegant editorial spread is the epitome of sleek sophistication.
