DUSK RITUAL

Editorial

Explores masculinity as a constructed archetype, moving between protection and vulnerability.

Set between twilight and nightfall, the series combines Slavic streetwear influences, oversized silhouettes and Eastern European nightlife references to create a visual language of strength, distance and exposure. As darkness falls, the armor begins to dissolve, revealing the tension between performance, identity and vulnerability.
