Retro Rockstar Editorials

The Character Study VMAN Editorial Pays Tribute to Musical Icons

The 'Character Study' VMAN editorial graces the publication's Spring 2013 issue. Photographer Philippe Vogelenzang captures top models Garrett Neff, Rob Evans, Vladimir Ivanov and others as they channel some of music's most famed icons.

From Rolling Stones' front man Mick Jagger to daring rocker Iggy Pop, these famed models play the role of rockstars as they pose in studio. Whether they are letting their long hair down or sporting a wardrobe of sleek and suited ensembles, the guys are effortlessly cool and undeniably edgy.

The 'Character Study' VMAN fashion story gains its style inspiration from the world of rock and roll. Stylist Beat Bolliger dresses models in top designer looks from labels that include Calvin Klein Collection, Balmain and Saint Laurent to name a few.
