Vinnie Woolston brings an edgy, rock star vibe to the beach in this editorial for Black magazine. Photographer David K. Shields captured Woolston and his female counterpart Taren Cunningham frolicking in tattered, fringed and cutout fashion.
Stylist Rachael Churchward and assistant Jessica Grubisa picked avant-garde pieces from labels like Stolen Girlfriends Club and Zambesi. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this pictorial, however, is Vinnie Woolston's disheveled, grungy hair. Its shape, body and overall messiness bring to mind Edward Scissorhands or Robert Pattinson. Woolston's messed-up mop adds another degree of edginess to the editorial.
This Black magazine June 2011 editorial features a gothic take on summer fashion. Instead of boho style and vibrant men's swimwear, it features grittier fashion fit for a rockstar.
