The GQ China The Fall editorial features some of the most interesting fall fashions from leading designers and labels. Corey Baptiste, Lenz Von Johnston and Wang Rui are photographed by Mei Yuan Gui and styled by Dan Cui.

The editorial covers a range of different fashion styles from glittering star-lined necklines to flowing cloaks and playfully patterned blazers. The garments come from a variety of different design houses, including [Mugler](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mugler1), [Givenchy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mask-fit-red-cushion) and Jil Sander.

This fashion-forward photoshoot shows that men's fashion is embracing a wider range of different garments and fabrics. No longer is men's fashion constrained by the limitless rules of masculinity. To be masculine is to have confidence in who you are, what you do, and what you wear.
