Photographed by Liam MF Warwick, this James Smith for Hysteria magazine photo shoot features the up and coming male model looking stylishly sleek.
With nothing but a grey background, Smith -- who hails from Models 1 -- poses with a seriously pensive expression, looking into the camera with an intensity that seems to counteract the model's messy, boyish haircut, product of hair stylist Atsushi Hayashi. Smith's clothes range in style, comprising pristine white basics, a sweater vest and sleek jackets. Stand-out pieces from the editorial are a pair of printed pants and a bold red jacket that provides a sharp contrast against the mainly monotone photo series.
The James Smith for Hysteria magazine shoot was styled by Gary Armstrong. Apparel for the editorial are from the autumn/winter lines of designers including Dior Homme, Lanvin, Marni and J.W. Anderson.
