Models Chris Arundel, Chris Rayner, Milo Spijkers and Eugeniy Sauchenka are an androgynous foursome for Nowhere Together in The Ones2Watch New Wave. The editorial was captured by photographer Gordon von Steiner with art direction by Alvaro Colom and production by Kelly McGee.
Hair stylist Roz Murray for Bumble and Bumble took a gender-bending approach in the editorial, leaving the models' long locks loose, braided or pulled back simply. Stylist Paul Morehouse chose an array of neutral separates from Tim Hamilton's fall collection and Dominic Louis' spring line.
Nowhere Together takes a sacrilegious turn when the men stumble on a wooden cross and decide to carry it down the street. The white ensembles worn in this particular photo bring home the religious, otherworldly theme.
