This Vogue Hommes Japan editorial shows off a punk rocker style that is mixed with some androgynous elements. The result is an updated glam rock look that you'd expect to see the lead singer from your favorite local rock band wearing.
The editorial is a combination of muted color as well as black and white images. Model Gryphon O`Shea is styled by Nicola Formichetti. And, the entire shoot was overseen by the fresh creative director of Saint Laurent Paris, Hedi Slimane.
This editorial shows the best of the fashion world. It combines fashion-forward creative thinking with a target consumer with a distinctive style. Just look at that long blond mohawk; I bet it looks awesome spiked up. The Vogue Hommes Japan editorial really hits home for the fashion-conscious rocker.
