JINUMO, a fashion label that's based in Bangkok, Thailand, considered the modern warriors in the well-loved post-apocalyptic film 'Mad Max' for many of its 'Fusion Collection.'
In order to promote it, the label employed Nicholas C. from Bananas Models as the muse of its lookbook, which was lensed by Todd Rawangpan. In each of the images, Nicholas C. is presented in front of a long piece of hanging fabric that has a slight metallic finish -- complementing the rest of the background that's dirt and concrete.
Some ensembles show the modern warrior theme in full -- with gladiator-like cuts that come infused with leather accents, shimmering bronze fabric and even velvet. Others are better suited to everyday wear, however still boast a sense of character that makes them wholly individual.
