Nerd Couture Captures

The Blue in the Valley of Lights Design Scene Exclusive is Geek-Chic

The 'Blue in the Valley of Lights' Design Scene exclusive editorial features Jordan White. The model is lensed by photographer Ryan E. Wibawa who captures him in a series of chromatic portraits.

Jordan embraces an edgy look that exudes a nerd-chic aesthetic. Stylist Reno Winston dresses him in a slew of preppy menswear looks with a rock and roll twist. The model pulls of colored jean and plaid shirt combos paired with exaggerated bow-tie accessories that are a quirky take on classically dapper menswear.

From traditional geek-chic attire to over-the-top garments like a gilded jacket and Highland kilt, the Blue in the Valley of Lights Design Scene exclusive showcases preppy fashions in a contemporary and cool way. Classic tailored looks are paired with off-kilter accessories and attention-grabbing accent pieces that are youthful and edgy.
