Model Vincent LaCrocq gives life to skull fashion in this editorial for Dapper Dan magazine. Photographer Vassilis Karidis and stylist Nicholas Georgiou combine creative forces for the black-and-white pictorial, which features LaCrocq walking down an urban street in separates from the Comme des Garcons Spring 2011 collection.
The fashion featured in this Dapper Dan editorial heavily favors a skull theme, but abstract prints and stripes are also included. In all of the images, LaCrocq wears a striped woven beanie -- even when the rest of his outfit is composed of skull prints. This intentional pattern-clashing adds to the lax, devil-may-care attitude the model exhibits throughout the editorial.
My favorite outfit from the Dapper Dan magazine shoot is the first one, in which Vincent LaCrocq dons a skull-covered blazer and long shorts.
