Gallimore works with [MAC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maczine) cosmetics and crystal elements from [Swarovski](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opi-celebrated) to enhance the visuals in this striking editorial. This piece also accompanies a video that features a range of second-skin resembling disguises and three-dimensional body embellishments.

Outfitted by stylist Joseph Kocharian, top models Dudley O'Shaunessy, Tom Lander and Chris Jones pose in a dimly lit studio setting while sporting an edgy and unconventional wardrobe of vanguard menswear looks. The guys pose in a number of vividly printed and architecturally shaped suits, netted sportswear and opulent body jewels that accompany their painted or intricately applied cosmetic looks.
