Ben Allen channels a geeky gent in Odda Magazine's latest menswear exclusive, an editorial that revives nostalgic fashions and accessories. In addition to its 60s-inspired suits, this photo series also highlights retro eyewear accessories that are an homage to rockabilly musician Buddy Holly.
Lensed by photographer Philip Meech, Odda Magazine's monochromatic feature pairs nostalgic fashions -- a wardrobe consisting of wool suits, tweed coats and lightweight trench coats -- with eclectic accessories like graphic pins, silk ties and the shoot's most graphic accent, it's eyewear.
Styling for this exclusive is courtesy of Hope Von Joel who dresses model Ben Allen in contemporary versions of 60s menswear. Gracing the October 2015 issue of Odda Magazine, this shoot is reflective of the fashion industry's recent revival of retro attire.
