Justin Barnhill fronts the Missoni Fall/Winter 2014 campaign. The curly-haired model is captured by Viviane Sassen's lens and outfitted by wardrobe stylist Stephen Mann.
Stephen dresses Justin in the label's vivid knitwear staples that range from cozy cardigans to netted sweaters. Whether displayed in solid hues or adorned with intricately woven patterns, the Missoni Fall/Winter 2014 collection campaign is the opposite of expected.
The Italian label looks to modern art for its visual inspiration and fuses colored and black and white images. The ad campaign layers traditional model photography with abstract shapes that create individual collage compositions. These captures are not only visually striking but are definitive of the more modern design inspiration behind this season's youthful looks.
