This Indie Magazine #30 editorial features an eccentric array of [contemporary menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25) from the likes of Antonio Marras and Kenzo. Models Douglas Neitzke, Peter Bruder and Alex Treutel pose in indoor and outdoor settings for photographer Sabrina Theissen.

Stylist Francesco Cominelli selected separates you don't usually see on modern men. The [oversized avian necklace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment) in the first image makes a sure style statement, but motley button-downs and cable-knit tank tops are other pieces that'll make you do a double take.

The Indie Magazine #30 editorial also features thick suspenders and a [curious blazer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brucolic) with a solid-colored top and striped bottom. Although these separates aren't exactly everyday looks, for the right fashion-forward man, they're just the ticket to set off a summer outfit.
