Rugged Cowboy Editorials

Men's Week's 'Lone Ranger' Image Series

— June 8, 2015 — Fashion
Mathias Lauridsen stars in 'Lone Ranger,' a cowboy inspired shoot that is captured for the pages of Men's Week. The image series is lensed by photographer Billy Kidd and boasts wardrobe styling by Alex Badia.

Opting for a series of Western-themed looks, the stylist dresses model Mathias in denim separates, patchwork jackets and oversized cowboy hat accessories. In addition to looking the part, this editorial's star also poses amidst a ranch setting and is captured alongside horses and even roosters.

Lensed in black and white, this series embodies a rugged air and is masculine in its overall theme. The 'Lone Ranger' editorial revives retro, cowboy looks for a new generation and proves that distressed denim only looks better with age.
