Iasonas Laios fronts 'Illustrated,' an editorial captured by photographer Michelangelo L. Cecilia who layers his images with a series of artistic filters. Spotlighting luxe menswear from labels like Burberry, Versace and Raf Simons, this editorial defies convention and instead infuses each portrait with drawings that capture the spirit of different fashion houses.
Collaborating with hair stylist Loui Ferry, illustrator Filikh Raja and Zarko Davinic -- in charge of the photoshoot's concept -- photographer Michelangelo L. Cecilia opts for artistic filters that are layered atop black and white images.
While this menswear editorial brings out Versace's loud aesthetic with fun motifs that are used to represent studs and embroidery, its visual homage to Burberry is one that spotlights the heritage label's impeccable tailoring and gentlemanly point of view.
