Playful Jocks and Experimental Menswear: Agustín Della Corte
There is something elemental and electric about seeing Agustín Della Corte in a studio setting that feels both playful and polished. Photographed by Andrés García Luján for Numéro Netherlands, this editorial brings together experimental menswear with a tribute to jock aesthetics. Think sculpted muscles framed in avant-garde tailoring, textures that beg to be touched, lighting that both flatters and teases.
Imagine Corte, fresh off his turn as Roque Pérez in Olympo, a queer rugby captain on Netflix, stepping into fashion territory that challenges expectations while amplifying his raw physicality. Readers, if you didn’t already want to climb into this spread it’s about to happen. In one arresting shot he perches atop a football helmet, legs spread wide, wrapped in a MM6 white sweater that just barely contains a chiseled chest. Another frame shows him in nothing but shorts and an Armani harness. Cue the collective fan-swoon.GAY TIMES
The styling mixes jock energy with polished design: bold harnesses, unexpected layering, sporty accessories reframed as couture. There’s humor in the tension, like seeing cold, clean tailoring, flowing mesh, flexed through powerful muscle. Andrés García Luján, the photographer, brings clarity and confidence to the series. His studio work feels painterly even when sculptural, turning each frame into a study of texture and form.andresgarciaart.squarespace.comfashioneditorials.com
About the talents
Agustín Della Corte is that rare triple threat: former professional rugby centre turned actor and model. Born in Paysandú, Uruguay in 1997, he traded scrums for screens and made his name in The Society of the Snow before landing the queer sports saga Olympo. His intensity is magnetic, his vulnerability kind of revolutionary. Fun fact: he once shed 27 kilos for a role, showing he’s just as dedicated to transformation as he is to aesthetics.Teledoce.comInstinct Magazine
Andrés García Luján is a Bogotá-based fashion photographer whose work edges between precision and poetry. He talks about shooting fashion as painting with light. His focus on texture, shadow, and intimate framing makes these editorial images feel alive rather than staged.andresgarciaart.squarespace.comfashioneditorials.com
This editorial is more than just a glossy flex. It’s about queering the jock narrative while staying in conversation with high fashion. It’s body affirming, boundary shifting, buttoned-up yet brazen. And it’s kind of unforgettable in the best way possible.
