Sanchez captures Reco & Ralph face Kevin who channels a contemporary athlete with a love for Ancient Greek style accents. Stylist Jhobes Estrella outfits the model in [vanguard sportswear ensembles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2), [structural menswear pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kody-phillips) and an array of modern metal accessories by designer Avel Bacudio. Finishing off Kevin's powerful look, hair stylist and groomer Gery Penaso gives him a slicked back coif and a clean-shaven face. Whether shining a light on mirrored belts, sculptural shoulder pieces, perforated face masks or metal body harnesses, the 'Olympiad' Male Model Scene exclusive editorial is a fresh and edgy take on an ancient athleticwear aesthetic.
