Ben Whishaw graces the pages of Replica Man Issue 16, photographed by Josh Hight (SevenSix) and styled by Ganio. Wearing Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello, the actor takes on the house’s exaggerated shoulders, high-waisted trousers, loose ties, glossy shirting, and saturated color. He holds his own against the clothes, matching their scale.

Whishaw’s long curls and natural eccentricity suit the styling’s attitude, making even a rust-colored shirt and yellow tie feel plausible. The photo shoot accompanies the press cycle for Ira Sachs’ “Peter Hujar’s Day,” which premiered at Sundance in 2025 with Whishaw portraying photographer Peter Hujar. The role adds another dimension to a wardrobe tied to the artistic, slightly decadent masculinity found in Vaccarello’s Saint Laurent.
