Fresh-faced male model Fabio Mancini stars in this stylish preppy punk editorial for ADON Magazine. These looks could be described as formal, but they each contain rebellious elements that make them seem edgy and youthful. Photographer Joey Leo captured these fashion forward shots.
In many of these shots Mancini sports a sideways cap that gives this series a 90's feel. His coats are held shut by studded belts and in a few shots he sports a leather jacket. Mancini is dressed in sweater vests, ties and slacks, which gives this series its preppy vibe.
In a few of these shots Mancini makes funny faces, which seems appropriate considering that teens and twenty-somethings are the target audience for this editorial. These outfits are perfect for boys who feel like they're on the cusp of becoming men.
