Melvyn Reiningi Makes Stillness Look Like A Power Move
Fresh face model Melvyn Reiningi steps into Jvdas Berra’s lens for Numéro Homme Switzerland, and the camera immediately understands what it has. The London-based model fronts a striking cover story for issue No. 4, Les Corps, where masculine beauty is treated less like a fixed ideal and more like a space for transformation, resilience and power.
Reiningi does not overplay the assignment. A direct stare, a slight shift of posture and the tension between polish and vulnerability are enough. Berra lets the face, body and styling breathe, while Reiningi proves that presence does not always need movement to announce itself.

The editorial is styled by Giorgio Ammirabile, with makeup by Hanic Arias and hair by Bruno Spavone. Together, the team builds a visual language that moves from clean portraiture into something more exposed. Clothes and grooming sharpen the image, but neither is allowed to bury the person wearing them.
That restraint suits Reiningi. Standing 6-foot-2 with a runway-ready frame, brown eyes and brown hair, he has already moved through the international model circuit with representation from Storm Management, Soul Artist Management, Select Model Management Paris and Monster Management. Recent runway work has placed him with houses including Louis Vuitton, Dsquared2 and Dolce & Gabbana, but this story gives the model something a runway rarely offers: time to let the viewer stay.
The issue’s title translates simply to “the bodies,” but Berra’s images are not only interested in physique. The body becomes attitude, defense, softness and performance. Reiningi can look completely composed in one frame and almost caught off guard in the next, which keeps the sequence from becoming another perfectly lit exercise in handsome sameness.
There is also something refreshingly unfussy about the story. No frantic concept is fighting the model for attention. The backdrop, styling and beauty work all support the same idea: strip away enough distraction and see whether the subject can still hold the page. Melvyn does.
Melvyn Reiningi Takes Over The Les Corps Cover Story
The complete supplied gallery preserves all eleven images in their original order, including the portrait also used as the lead image above.

The “Fresh Face” label fits because the wider audience is still catching up, but the work already suggests somebody beyond the introduction stage. Reiningi knows when to give the camera shape, when to give it silence and when to simply let the face finish the sentence.
Keep that name nearby. Melvyn Reiningi is not waiting very patiently to become familiar.
