Designer goods, oiled muscles, and plates of pasta—Numéro Homme Switzerland’s December 2024 editorial, “Enjoy Your Meal, B1tch!”, is a feast for the senses. Captured by photographer Jvdas Berra, the shoot brings the unapologetic hypermasculinity of Italian-American men to the forefront. This editorial masterfully blends high fashion with the raw, glamorous allure of a well-oiled tough guy who knows how to wear luxury like a second skin.
Hypermasculine Elegance with Designer Flair
Front and center is Gianluca Conte, who exudes the best of Italian-American swagger. Each shot celebrates the interplay of masculinity and luxury, featuring fitted leather jackets, unbuttoned silk shirts, and tailored trousers that showcase Gianluca’s chiseled physique. Mirko De Propris’ expert styling elevates every look with designer pieces that nod to the rugged yet glamorous charm of Italian men.
Pasta, Oil, and Power Moves
The editorial’s styling cleverly juxtaposes hypermasculine tropes with the elegance of haute couture. Plates of pasta spill across the frame, symbolizing indulgence and flair, while Gianluca, glistening with oil, brings a sensual touch to each ensemble. From chunky gold accessories to perfectly polished shoes, the details are a study in opulence. This is the kind of man who knows his way around both a tailor and a kitchen.
Grooming Fit for a Leading Man
The impeccable grooming by @etere_nephilim completes the look, with slicked-back hair and a clean, powerful aesthetic that underscores the editorial’s homage to classic hypermasculinity. Editor-in-Chief Sebastian Magunacelaya ensures the vision is cohesive and impactful, tying together every element of this high-octane feature.
