Photographer Marco Malingambi captures the "Red Stramonium" editorial for F****** Young! Online. The dark and conceptual image series gains its inspiration from the datura stramonium or Devil's snare, a gorgeous flower that is said to have hallucinatory properties when ingested.
Ralf Jayoiss at WhyNot Models stars in the image series that highlights a range of vanguard menswear looks. Stylist George Lee dresses the model in pieces from designer Shen Tong's Fall/Winter 2014 collection.
The show-stopping garments include vibrant print knits and robes that are reflective of the designer's Asian culture along with oversized collared shirts that embody a utilitarian aesthetic. Marco Malingambi's "Red Stramonium" fuses these edgy fashions with branched backdrop props and snow-inspired hair and makeup looks.
