Tobial by Andy Long Hoang is a portrait series featuring 'Tobial' of Dulcedo Model Management. If you didn't already know who this guy was, you do now.
Tobial is 6 foot 2 and undeniably handsome with his brown hair and blue eyes. In this photo series by the talented Andy Long Hoang, Tobial models fall menswear, including a simple grey tank by Boris Bidjan Saberi, a wool coat by Raf Simons and a cozy grey sweater by Acne, which he must pull down in order to hide his lower half (which is nude, in case you didn't understand). In fact, Tobial unabashedly models most of the garments only half-dressed, something that definitely -- if somewhat unintentionally -- makes you focus on one fashion piece at a time.
The Tobial by Andy Long Hoang shoot was styled by Hoang himself, with makeup by Bernardo Fernandez.
