The Schon magazine 'Gentlemen' editorial provides a window to [classic menswear looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-styles) with a generational twist. Models David Gant and James Cooper are juxtaposed next to one another, effectively contrasting youthful against elderly appearances.

The dapper selection of clothing in this production displays authentic looks for men of all ages. Fashion editor Kay Korsh worked in association with menswear label Gieves & Hawkes to pull this off here. This [epic collaboration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineered-garments-x-brooks-brothers) brought angular blazers, nautical sweaters and silk scarves to the publication's circulation.

The photoshoots apparel choices are notably [timeless](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fallwinter-2025). Although Gant and Cooper are of different age brackets, they both have managed to effortlessly take on similar dapper looks. Photographer Blair Getz has consequently demonstrated that the young and old can and do connect, especially on a fashionable level.
