Japanese magazine Free & Easy has released its 'Dad's Style' edition. The spreads cover an assortment of classic and contemporary fashion for fathers, replete with thin ties, thick rimmed glasses and button up sweaters. In addition to the apparel pointers, the publication also does an excellent job of profiling some of the most epic fatherly figures.
Musician and artist Rodney Graham is one of these acclaimed figures. Canadian photographer Jennilee Marigomen trailed behind Graham in his Vancouver home, capturing him in his essence among record players, guitar collections and an impressive set of antique furniture.
Graham proves to be the quintessential dad with style. His fedora and tailored menswear pieces fall in line with his precise, detailed work, some of which has appeared in Nylon Magazine and Spin.
