Working with Kim Payne, the fashion director of ICON magazine, is a study in precision and intent. Payne’s approach to men’s styling reflects a deep understanding of how clothing communicates identity, effortlessly balancing structure and ease. For this shoot, her sharp eye for detail and ability to rethink classic silhouettes challenged me to craft shapes and movement through the lens. Collaborating with someone who treats men’s fashion as an evolving narrative rather than a fixed genre is a reminder of the power of restraint and clarity in creative direction.
