“SUN-KISSED DAYS OF SUMMER: A Grecia Celebration of the Male Form”
Amidst the timeless beauty of Greece's breath-taking seascapes, this photographic series embarks on a journey through the sun-kissed days of summer.
In honour to the celebrated works of historical photographers who revelled in the male body's splendour, while also embracing its vulnerability, we present a retrospective exploration that captures the essence of both strength and sensitivity—a true portrayal of man.
Inspired by visionaries such as Robert Mapplethorpe, Herb Ritts, and George Platt Lynes, this collection of images portrays the male body in its most natural state—unrestrained, empowered, and intimately connected to the surroundings. These images intend to immortalize the male form as a work of art, igniting discussions on sensuality, identity, and artistic expression.
Drawing from this legacy, "Sun-Kissed Days of Summer" seeks to evoke a sense of nostalgia and appreciation for the classic approach to capturing the male body's allure while embracing the nuanced concept of vulnerability. Like Wilhelm von Gloeden and Tom of Finland, who bridged the gap between historical art and the contemporary male form, this series encapsulates the timeless beauty that transcends eras, juxtaposing virility with the tender emotions that make us human.
As the sun dances across the sculpted torso of our gorgeous model (Gustavo Franco) and casts enchanting shadows along the coastline, we pay tribute to the male physique as it intertwines with the natural world. Just as Carl Van Vechten's portraits captured the souls of his subjects, these photographs aim to convey the stories of these sun-drenched days—a tale of connection to nature, to history, and to the very essence of humanity.
The Grecian landscape is a backdrop for a celebration of youthful virility, life, and joy, as the sun's rays illuminate the beauty and strength of the male form. The contrast between light and dark shapes the curves and muscles of the body, while the gentle sound of the waves evokes a sense of timeless wonder and connection to ancient legends, like Herbert List's artistic and mythical vision.
With "Sun-Kissed Days of Summer," we invite you to embark on a visual journey that marries the past and the present. These photographs pay tribute to the artistic pioneers who redefined the portrayal of the male form, celebrating its every nuance beneath the eternal Grecian sun. This collection stands as a homage to the intersection of history, culture, and nature—a harmonious celebration of life, light, strength, vulnerability, and the captivating allure of the male body.

THE UNDERWEAR ISSUE
Underwear is a garment that spends far too much time in the dark.
Even though, men’s underwear is one of our favourite garments to explore and to play with here at REY online. It seeks to awake the reader’s curiosity as well, as we receive many messages for more underwear stories and new brand recommendations.
This time we put down our favourite underwear piece for you, which is of course the brief!
Our Editor in Chief chose a selection of different styles, along with the Greek Cypriot blogger & influencer Nikos Kaneti and here’s their new report on male underwear for spring 2022 (focusing on briefs of course).
