Platinum-haired model [Lucky Blue Smith](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucky-skin-hydro) channels a preppy punk in this editorial for L'Officiel Hommes. The shoot is captured by photographer Andrew Hail's lens and features eccentric wardrobe styling by Helena Tejedor. Helena dresses Lucky in a mix of rocker-themed and retro prepster staples that range from crest-accented knits, tennis-inspired separates and graphically striped pieces.

These preppy punk fashions include pieces from [Gucci](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection), [Givenchy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mask-fit-red-cushion) and Dries Van Noten among other top labels. Gracing L'Officiel Hommes' Spring/Summer 2015 issue, this Lucky Blue Smith exclusive celebrates individuality and the model's unique look.

Though edgy, his versatility and talent makes Lucky a face to look out for in the industry. His platinum coif references a classic punk rock look while his preppy wardrobe gives this editorial a more sophisticated balance.
