The 7th Man Magazine AW12 Editorial Stars a Dapper Joseph Quigley

— March 2, 2012 — Fashion
The refined and sophisticated menswear showcased throughout the 7th Man Magazine AW12 editorial contrasts captivatingly with the brothel scenes they are shot in. Under the twilight-lit sky, the clothing and the photo shoot is given a mysterious air that is both seductive and curious.

The 7th Man Magazine AW12 editorial was lensed by Grant Thomas, a photographer born in the countryside of Wales and based in central London. Shot in a red light district-inspired setting, the photo shoot is softly saturated to create a romantic ambiance that conflicts with the actual activities that take place there.

Starring new face Joseph Quigley, the editorial shows the British male model decked out in a high-end wardrobe comprised of pieces from fashion houses such as YSL, Paul Smith, Commes des Garcons, Burberry and Dries Van Noten.
