Christian Anwander, a New York-based photographer with an impressive portfolio, lensed an editorial for Esquire magazine which focuses on two brothers in vintage-inspired businesswear.

Fernando and Armando Cabral, the models, pose playfully in the clothing, making for a series that allows their bond to exude through the images. This comes from their brotherly bothering of one another -- sticking fingers in one another's ears, putting the other into a headlock or slouching over each other comfortably.

The Esquire magazine editorial has a sleek gray and white backdrop, allowing the brothers and the unique clothing that they wear to prominently stand out. Styles swap between oversized and well-fitted, giving the textured plaid fabric more attention. Other pieces presented are marked by paisley designs, multicolored hill-like patterns and more, making for a complementary series that varies in range at the same time.
