Combative Menswear Captures

The Hercules Magazine 'Worth Fighting For' Editorial is a Knock-Out

— April 15, 2012 — Fashion
The Hercules Magazine 'Worth Fighting For' editorial is a knock out for a couple of reasons. First, it features a bunch of serious punches, ones that would easily knock out a person if they landed true. Secondly, the outfits are all winners, no matter which model is left standing or face down in the dirt.

Shot by photographer Paola Kudacki, the Hercules Magazine editorial might not condone the best behaviour for formal occasions, but what is a good get together if there isn't a fight or two to gossip about afterwards? Decked out in their finest, the models don designs from such labels as Givenchy, Calvin Klein and more. Styled by Keegan Singh, the looks are a lesson in color, patterns and textures for men.
