New York Model Management's Luca Schmitz stars in the "Projection of the Self" editorial for web publication F****** Young! Online. The model is captured by photographer Damien Kim and outfitted by stylist DaVian Lain for the vanguard image set.

Luca pulls off a modern mushroom cut that is 90s inspired while dressed in pieces from emerging designer Keum's latest collection. The model sports a range of memorable pieces that include leather collared shirt looks and printed blazers that feature patchwork details. These wardrobe staples are a fresh translation of a traditional workwear aesthetic.

F****** Young! Online's "Projection of the Self" editorial highlights edgy menswear looks that are showcased in a set of chromatic portraits. The editorial defies convention and infuses a professional wardrobe with a touch of personality.
