Fashion editor Nicola Formichetti and photographer/designer Hedi Slimane team up for a redneck reinvention in volume #3 of Vogue Homme Japan. Male model Paolo Anchisi sports a designer mullet and some colourful briefs in the editorial Vogue is calling, ‘Flash Back’. Anchisi is transformed into a label-clad, corn-fed farm jock who enjoys air-guitaring to his favorite tunes. The redneck reinvention shoot is steeped in the ‘80s, complete with fashionable designer mullet and a rip, roaring red colour palette.
