NARRATIVE FASHION EDITORIAL "THE RED NUT"
‍BY PHOTOGRAPHER NIL HOPE

Under the sultry glow of Paris’s Pigalle, a modern tale unfolds that of a professional gambler whose story lingers in the city’s cobblestones and shadows. Hamilton Seguin embodies this enigmatic figure with effortless charm, a homme fatale cutting through the haze of poker dens and dim bars.Captured by Parisian photographer Nil Hope for Esquire HK, the visual narrative feels cinematic  every frame a story, every stitch a clue to Seguin’s mystery.

The mood evokes a Jean-Pierre Jeunet film: poetic, moody, and rich with texture.Yet beneath the elegance lies disconnection. Seguin, dressed in designer precision, drifts through Pigalle like a ghost part of the city, yet apart from it.

His world of bets and bluffs mirrors the fleeting nature of human connection.Hope’s lens embraces this duality, blending realism with introspection to create a portrait of Paris that feels raw and alive — a city seen not through postcards, but through solitude and grit. In capturing both man and metropolis, Hope reveals the true poetry of the piece: stories we sense, but never fully grasp.— The Fashionisto
