Styling from around the globe is the main feature of Rocket Magazine Issue 07's 'Namaste' editorial, starring menswear model Andrea Bellisario. Italian photographer Omar Macchiavelli gets behind the lens for the shoot, which highlights pieces from some of Italy's finest menswear designers, with eclectic stying by Deh Modiano for the magazine's 'Ethnic' issue.
In a bold Frankie Morello printed blazer and layered head piece, Andrea demands attention, making it a memorable opening to the photoset. Multi-pieced scarves and layers take the forefront in the shoot, with Andrea almost getting lost in the fabric in some shots, were it not for his piercing eyes that draw the viewer's focus. While I applaud Modiano for the eccentric and detailed layering, my favorite photos from this Andrea Bellisario editorial take a more simplistic approach, with the focus leaning more towards big and bold pieces, like a leatherette trench coat.
After viewing the Rocket Magazine Namaste editorial, there's no doubt in my mind that the fashion world will be seeing much more from Andrea Bellisario this year.
