In “Persona,” French model Tom Rey captivates with his versatility in a series of dynamic images for L’Obs magazine, with each photograph showcasing the transformative power of fashion and styling.
Photographer Joseph Molines captures Tom as he moves seamlessly between scenes, from casual bites in a cozy bedroom setting to poised studio portraits, embodying different facets of everyday life.
Tom’s engaging presence is enhanced by stylist Duong Celine, who cleverly mixes textures and eras, dressing him in outfits that blend smart, rugged, and distinctly retro influences.
The narrative of change is further enriched by hairstylist Yumiko Hikage’s expertise, as Tom’s appearance evolves dramatically across the series. The stylistic choices in hair—ranging from bowl cuts and spiky looks to a flowing mullet—play a crucial role in crafting the personas Tom portrays.
Each hairstyle complements the thematic elements of Tom’s outfits and enhances the storytelling aspect of the editorial, adding depth to the character he embodies in each shot—creating a visual essay on identity and transformation, emphasizing how external changes can reflect internal evolutions.
