Photographer Paolo Di Lucente captures 'High Noon,' a [Western-themed menswear editorial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-permanent-collection) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-western-black-dial-cushion-watch) toward younger fashion fans.
