One look at this editorial from the Carbon Copy Issue #10 is going to give you goosebumps.
Being the baby brother of Client Magazine, Carbon Copy sure has big shoes to fill in. This magazine was launched last year, and since then this bi-monthly publication has come out with classical, contemporary and ravishing editorials. The tenth issue, featuring a shoot called 'Wild & Wilting,' has model Dan Felton facing the camera with style and fearlessness as he poses with floral headbands, floral trousers, floral shoes and neck pieces.
Captured by Boyd Alexander, the shoot is simply flourished with florals for men. Ladies beware, the Carbon Copy Issue #10 shows a male takeover of a classically feminine style.
