The Sleek magazine editorial 'Low-Down' by Thomas Lohr captures models Charlie Isherwood, Danny Reed, Jack Wright, Jake Shortall, Matt King and Sid Charity in this stark and stoic pictorial for the publication's latest issue. This edgy editorial features a plaid-rich wardrobe of workwear-inspired styles.
The boys look like they raided their dad’s closet with styling by Julian Ganio. In addition to mad plaids, the wardrobe includes pleated tweed trousers, printed dress shirts and striped pajamas. The in-studio photographs are minimalist and capture expressions and characters more then they do clothing. The models are edgy, each sporting a shaved head and intricately inked tattoos.
The Low-Down by Thomas Lore is a stoic shoot with a dark concept. Conformity is emphasized and brought forth in a fashion-forward way. The distinctive styling features looks from Woolrich Woolen Mills, Dr. Martens, Ralph Lauren and others.
