Minimal Fashion Exhibition Poster

Full prompt
Goal: Create a refined vertical exhibition poster combining fashion photography and minimalist editorial illustration for a contemporary portrait show titled {argument name="headline text" default="SILENCE IN FORM"}.
Canvas: Portrait orientation, 3:4 ratio, cream and warm gray palette, high-end gallery catalog aesthetic, clean margins, no frame or watermark.
Layout: Split the poster into exactly 2 horizontal panels. The top panel occupies about 55% of the height and contains a realistic studio portrait. The bottom panel occupies about 45% of the height and contains exhibition typography on the left plus a large line-art portrait illustration on the right, overlapping softly with abstract beige shapes.
Top panel subject: A young East Asian male model, early 20s, slim face, calm serious expression, slightly parted lips, looking down toward the viewer with a poised fashion-editorial attitude. He has {argument name="hair style" default="medium-length wavy black hair"}, natural skin texture, minimal makeup, and wears a sculptural oversized {argument name="coat color" default="ivory"} wool coat or robe with a large folded collar and soft heavy fabric. Crop from chest up, body angled slightly left, head centered-right. Background is a textured taupe plaster wall with a strong diagonal beam of sunlight from upper left, soft shadows, cinematic natural light, muted contrast.
Bottom panel: Use an off-white paper background. On the left, place exactly 6 visible text elements: 1) small spaced uppercase label "EXHIBITION" near the upper left, 2) huge elegant serif title "{argument name="headline text" default="SILENCE IN FORM"}" stacked on two lines, 3) spaced year "{argument name="year" default="2024"}", 4) a short thin horizontal divider line, 5) small uppercase subtitle "PORTRAITS / IN CONTEMPORARY / IDENTITY" stacked in three lines, and 6) small uppercase venue text "{argument name="venue" default="VERIDIAN GALLERY LONDON"}" split across two lines near the lower left.
Illustration details: On the right side of the bottom panel, draw exactly 1 large monochrome line illustration of the same male model from the top photo, head and shoulders, with loose expressive black ink lines, minimal facial features, wavy hair, and a high folded coat collar. Add broad flat abstract shapes in beige, cream, and dark charcoal behind and across the illustrated coat, forming elegant overlapping arcs and geometric folds. The illustration should partially extend upward close to the panel boundary and dominate the right two-thirds of the lower panel.
Typography and style: Use a sophisticated high-contrast Didot/Bodoni-style serif for the title, generous letter spacing for small labels, black and charcoal ink on warm ivory paper. Overall mood is quiet, architectural, contemplative, luxury fashion exhibition poster, with precise alignment and ample negative space.
Constraints: Keep exactly 2 panels, exactly 1 photographic portrait, exactly 1 illustrated portrait, and exactly 6 text elements in the bottom panel. Do not add extra logos, dates, captions, QR codes, signatures, or watermarks.
