Iconic photographer Bruce Weber brings a cheeky playful vibe to his sensual underwear editorial “Greeting Cards For All Occasions” in the new Summer 2009 issue of Vman magazine.
The editorial features the hottest new men’s underwear and swimwear pieces with the images styled as greeting cards. The playful copies say stuff like, "Roses are red, violets are blue. My next tattoo will say ‘I Love You,'" and “I’m not Irish, but kiss me anyway.”
Then there is the usual, “Get well soon,” “Welcome to the neighborhood” and the iconic “Missing You.”
I really like Weber’s editorial style. It brings a fun refreshing twist.
