This bizarre men's fashion editorial was shot by talented photographer Balint Barna. These [monochromatic captures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) feature some really odd accessories. In some of these shots the model wears patches of black and white ducted tape on his mouth, while in other shots he sports unusual veils that look more like abstract sculptures than accessories.

Akos, the model featured in this striking men's series, is seen sporting a super square haircut. He also sports some fairly feminine hats, which makes these photos all the more intriguing. Akos rocks stripped blazers, checkered shirts and other stand-out apparel in this stylish (and strange) editorial.

These shots are [edgy and bold](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time). Stylist Anna Kovalik really pushes fashion boundaries in this accessory-focused series.
