Sam Jesse and Raoul Uzan Take Citizen K Homme After Dark
Sam Jesse and Raoul Uzan step into the latest issue of Citizen K Homme for Notti Blanche, an editorial photographed by Benoît Auguste that takes classic evening dressing and gives it a much stranger, sharper pulse.
This isn’t polite black-tie territory. The story moves through tuxedo codes, high tailoring, watches, sheer layers, masks, feathers and the kind of styling choices that make formalwear feel a little less ceremonial and a lot more mischievous.

The styling comes from Laurent Dombrowicz, with pieces and accessories spanning houses including Prada, Loro Piana, Kenzo, Junya Watanabe MAN, Brioni, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi and Louis Vuitton, alongside watches from names such as Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, TAG Heuer, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Vacheron Constantin, Cartier and Rolex.
What keeps it from turning into a simple luxury checklist is the atmosphere around the clothes. Mehdi Yamin Ouhnia handles the set, while Alexis Mercier is on hair and Rose Belin on beauty, helping the editorial land somewhere between late-night salon, fashion fantasy and a very expensive fever dream.
And Sam Jesse and Raoul Uzan carry the whole thing exactly the way this kind of story needs: cool enough to keep the tailoring from feeling stiff, but not so casual that the fantasy disappears. Scope out the full selection below.
