Fashion photographer Alasdair McLellan captures Topman's Fall/Winter 2014/2015 ad campaign. The image series embodies a modern Londoner aesthetic and features models Andrew Westermann, Jackson Hale, Jake Love and Robbie McKinnon.

The guys pose in dapper suit and sneaker combinations and don a range of punk-themed garments in an advertorial that fuses together classic cuts and modern accessory pieces.
