The ‘Prep is Out, Pain is In’ HERO Magazine editorial stars Premier model duo Bastian and Morris. The conceptual portrait series is captured by photographer Alex Sainsbury, who creates an artfully haunting set of images. The guys are outfitted by stylist John McCarty, who dresses them in preppy wardrobe selects fit for a modern gentleman.
The models’ sharply tailored suits, leather outerwear pieces and couture casuals are paired with off-kilter accessory pieces that are strangely intriguing. Bastian and Morris sport wrapped faces while posing in the latest designer menswear looks.
Featured in the publication’s #7 issue, the Prep is Out, Pain is In HERO Magazine fashion spread shines a spotlight on creepy material and accessory parings displaying latex fashions with tattered and face-concealing headpieces that exude a vague and artful aesthetic.
