VMan Goes 'In Deep' For Men's Spring

VMan follows in the footsteps of its sister magazine, V, with an underwater fashion editorial.

The “In Deep” editorial asks you to “plunge into great spring fashion with bold colors, innovative fabrics, and the season's best suiting.”

Photographed by Michael Muller and styled by Brian Molloy, their choice of fashion include pieces by Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen, Gucci, Dries van Noten, Polo by Ralph Lauren and the Calvin Klein Collection.

Implications - The human fascination with the underwater world is often portrayed in popular artworks. Over 80% of the world's surface is covered in water, yet all human existence occurs on land. The mystery that lies under the water leaves much to the imagination and consumers look to artists for creative interpretations of the possibilities of what lies beneath.
