While the northern hemisphere settles into long (too hot) bright days, the season turns the opposite way at the southern tip of Africa. We traveled to the Atlantic coast for this story.

Henry Joubert @henry_joubert  and Christian Tromp @yvng.cpt both from Boss Models @boysofboss carry the shoot across the boardwalks and weathered railings of the coastline. The styling by Luthando James @luthandojames @luthandojamesstyling leans into texture and contrast, structured jackets over relaxed knits, sharp trousers against open sky, a palette that moves between bright blue afternoons and the cooler grey of black-and-white.
