One look at this editorial from the Carbon Copy Issue #10 is going to give you goosebumps.
Being the baby brother of Client Magazine, Carbon Copy sure has big shoes to fill in. This magazine was launched last year, and since then this bi-monthly publication has come out with classical, contemporary and ravishing editorials. The tenth issue, featuring a shoot called 'Wild & Wilting,' has model Dan Felton facing the camera with style and fearlessness as he poses with floral headbands, floral trousers, floral shoes and neck pieces.
Captured by Boyd Alexander, the shoot is simply flourished with florals for men. Ladies beware, the Carbon Copy Issue #10 shows a male takeover of a classically feminine style.
What's Driving This Trend
- Floral Masculinity
- Opportunity for fashion and beauty brands to create traditionally feminine floral looks for men and bring them into the mainstream.
- Gender-neutral Fashion

Who This Affects Most
- Fashion Industry
- The fashion industry has the opportunity to expand their reach by creating non-traditional gender-based clothing and accessories.
- Beauty Industry
- The beauty industry has the potential to create unique and innovative makeup looks and hairstyles to support the growing demand for non-traditional masculinity.
