Travis Hanson and Cintia Dicker in Metro.POP Magazine

Male Model Travis Hanson joins the ginger-tressed Cintia Dicker in Metro.POP magazine. Photographed by Eric Martin, the editorial focuses on shiny sequins and metallic hued pieces from Sass and Bide and Nicole Miller as well as jewelry from Subversive and Alexis Bittar.

Styled by Javier Lewis, the modeling duo are never captured together. Commonalities between the men’s and women’s fashions include the heavy use of grey and the crimson-colored shadow circling the models' eyes.

Implications - No longer attempting to blend in with the crowd, female shoppers are looking for ways to stand out. Designs that feature a bolder style appeal to those who want a differentiation from their fellow consumers.
