'Die Presse' for Schaufenster Showcases Wintry Menswear for Jet-Setters

— December 6, 2009 — Fashion
Photographer Anthony Gayton captures model Philipp Bierbaum in a wintry menswear shoot in 'Die Presse' for Schaufenster. Bierbaum is the quintessential global traveler, looking great everywhere he goes. The pictorial appears as a supplement to Schaufenster, an Austrian magazine.

What I like most about 'Die Presse' for Schaufenster is the editorial's abundant use of color. No basic black here--just bright blue, deep red, burnt yellow, and warm neutrals. Yum.
