Jack De Normandie, Joel Meacock, Joseph Mattone and others star in "boys do not dress for girls", a candid fashion story for i-D magazine's Fall 2014 issue. The guys pose in a stark studio setting while donning a wardrobe of militant staples that are both timeless and vanguard in their aesthetic.
Captured by photographer Daniel Jackson, this i-D magazine fashion story features styling by Alastair McKimm. Alastair dresses models in a neutral-hued palette of structured coats, fitted cotton tees and helmeted headpieces that are a fresh translation of classic army apparel.
The cadet-inspired editorial is the opposite of traditional and illustrates the power and longevity of militant styles throughout fashion's history. In addition to its sleek menswear staples, this editorial also talks about today's youth and their potential to change the world for future generations.
