Photographer Paolo Di Lucente captures 'High Noon,' a Western-themed menswear editorial that is featured in the latest issue of Wallpaper Magazine. Gracing the publication's September 2016 issue, this image series spotlights a range of edgy and streamlined apparel picks with a rural design inspiration.
Each piece is handpicked by wardrobe stylist Jason Hughes -- with pieces ranging from impeccably tailored trench coats and suit jackets to structured hat accessories that embody a retro look and feel.
High Noon features top model Alastair George who is lensed amidst a remote, countryside setting. The model poses on the grounds of a secluded residence that is surrounded by a dry and rocky terrain. Fusing Polaroid-themed imagery with dynamic apparel, this editorial gears vintage Western apparel toward younger fashion fans.
