Allen Taylor and Ben Horsfield star in this candid street youth editorial by photographer Kate Cox. Channeling fashion-forward city kids, the guys pose on street corners and in alleyways while donning a wardrobe of edgy, designer pieces.
Styling for the VMan "Sporting Goods" exclusive is courtesy of Desi Lazarova who dresses Allen and Ben in a range of oversized statement tees, fitted athletic suits and bomber jacket garments that embody today's edgy altheticwear aesthetic.
