Chic Boy Scout Captures

The 1985 Vogue Hommes International Shoot is Retro-Infused

The ‘1985’ Vogue Hommes International editorial is featured in the high fashion publication’s Spring/Summer 2012 issue. Starring model Johnny George, this striking portrait series shines a light on retro-infused menswear styles and quirky embellished accessories. From sleek tailoring to a youthful use of pin and button accessories, model Johnny channels a fashionable boy scout.

Captured by the lens of the legendary fashion photographer Alasdair McLellan, this bold editorial dares to stand apart from the crowd. Dressed in a versatile wardrobe of button-adorned ensembles, Johnny wears distressed denims, sleek shirts and suited separates. A cross between camp leader and activist, the ‘1985’ Vogue Hommes International editorial styled by Oliver Rizzo, is a contemporary take on the classic retro-infused menswear styles of our past.
