An editorial illustration series created for Esquire Germany’s Winter issue

Starter Packs for the Modern Man

Weston Wei illustrates Esquire Germany’s Winter issue, crafting playful lifestyle 'starter packs' for men across generations.

Weston brings the evolving idea of masculinity to life through a series of dynamic editorial illustrations. The project explores men in their 20s, 35s, and 50s, showing what they say, hear, feel, and how they behave, all with humour and clarity.

Weston’s contemporary style is a perfect fit; combining relatable characters, subtle wit, and a clean editorial aesthetic, translating generational nuances into visuals that complement the magazine’s narrative.
