Models Jake Shortall, Ysham, Andy Cheung and David Valensi star in the Mister and Mister Spring/Summer 2012 advertorial spread. Paying homage to [Japanese sportswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mizuno-for-margaret-howell), this edgy collection proves that sleek styling can coincide with comfort.

Captured by the lens of fashion photographer Diego Indraccolo, the models hold fighting stances in this fiercely fun portrait series. From pull-overs and linen shirts to Bermuda shorts and loose fitting trousers, this chic streetwear lookbook exudes a casual comfort.

Clad in youth-infused and urban garments, the models sport ensembles adorned with [geometric accents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ys-for-men-x-masses), charming graphics and Japanese flag imagery. Simplistic in shape, this collection is fearless with its use of eye-popping accents that are subtle and well thought out. The Mister and Mister Spring/Summer 2012 lookbook editorial pays tribute to Eastern styles, breathing new life into [street-savvy sportswear pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goldwin-5).
