Fernando Gómez captures this preppy punk rock mash-up for the pages of
Spanish Avenue Illustrated magazine. This beachside image series features Elite Barcelona face Stephen James who is captured in a wardrobe of prim and proper athleticwear pieces.
The inked badboy is outfitted by stylist Chiqui Peña who dresses him in sharp and clean-cut sportswear from familiar labels that include Fred Perry, Armani and Diesel among a slew of others.
The Stephen James editorial for the latest issue of Spanish Avenue Illustrated magazine merges two opposing style aesthetics. The sea-side image series is unexpected thanks to its mix of preppy wardrobe staples and model Stephen's tattooed body art, piercings and short buzz cut by hair stylist Rosa Matilla.
