Male Model Scene's "Hip No Tech" editorial exclusive is captured by fashion designer/photographer Long Tran. The fashion story features red-headed model Semion who sports Tran's own forward-thinking design.

Teaming up with wardrobe stylist and beauty expert Drew Brando, the photographer captures a range of his oversized and metallic outerwear looks that set the tone for next Fall.

Metallic coats that are an edgy nod to British label [Burberry's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-queen-elizabeth-ii-11) candy-colored designs are showcased alongside leather blazers that are accented with hanging hair. The "Hip No Tech" editorial exclusive for Male Model Scene defies convention and is definitive of photographer and fashion designer Long Tran's artful, signature aesthetic. The editorial embraces the unexpected and proves that fashion has no boundaries.
