So I’m very happy to present this work by photographer Karim Konrad with NY model Richard McKeown shot him in Kabukichō which is an entertainment and red-light district in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. Kabukichō is the location of many host and hostess clubs, love hotels, shops, restaurants, and nightclubs, and is often called the "Sleepless Town".
For ZARA Studio Spring/Summer 2026, the message is clear: masculinity is fluid, styling is personal, and the future of menswear lies in the balance between structure and freedom.
Originally shot while developing the Dominic Albano Collection, this striking Polaroid series evolved into a sensual exploration of queer male portraiture inspired by iconic photographers and the provocative fashion imagery of the 1990s.
