Stylist JeanPaul Paula stars in this dynamic image series by photographer Florian Joahn. The model poses in a wardrobe of monochromatic sportswear staples and is captured in a series of bold and edgy portraits. Whether showing off a tattoo that is hidden in his lip or donning colorless contact lenses, JeanPaul shows off a look that is both fashion-forward and distinctive.

The model styles himself in pieces from [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zne-collection), [Dior Homme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afrofuturism-1) and [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-x-sacai) among other names and pulls off pieces that are both eye-catching and comfortable. Referencing the fashion industry's recent Health Goth and Normcore obsessions, this image series proves that functional clothing can be edgy and interesting.

Florian Joahn's understated photo series opposes tradition and boasts images that are high in contrast.
