Alexandre Cunha, Brad Allen and Diego Fragoso pose alongside Kevin Mertens, Nan Fulong, Rich Stinger and Ton Heukels in ”The Fantasy Issue” of Homme Style magazine.
The group of models is captured by photographer Marco Falcetta's lens while posing against a series of boldly hued studio backdrops. The models are outfitted by wardrobe stylist Giuseppe Ceccarelli who dresses them in fighter inspired staples from Versace's latest embellishment-infused menswear line.
”The Fantasy Issue” of Homme Style magazine embraces ornamentation thanks to its electric hued wardrobe pieces and over-the-top gilded jewelry from famed Italian fashion house Versace. From highlighter hued leathers to Medusa-clad wrestling style belts, this eccentrically elegant editorial portrays a non traditional and flamboyant interpretation of the ideal and masculine fighter.
