Inspired by the latest war and torture couture trend that was recently popularized by John Galliano’s ‘POW’ collection (see images below), über hot super model Chad White is featured in a new striking photo shoot by Jason Kibbler in the latest V MAN magazine.
Styled by Brian Molloy, chad is wearing John Galliano with a frightening gas mask and a super-weird ‘crotch mask’. In another shot, Chad channels an urban Mad Max/ roman fighter wearing Dolce & Gabbana, hat, cuffs and leather skirt.
The latest issues of V Man magazine also features a very interesting futuristic "I’m Not Real" shoot with Ashton Kutcher.
