Tony Ward stars in 'All About The Art', a fashion story featured in the latest issue of August Man magazine. The top model and self-proclaimed "chameleon" dons a more rugged than usual look in this series that is captured by photographer Alexander Beer's lens.

The model--previously linked to pop star Madonna--channels a [fashion-forward cowboy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-permanent-collection) in an editorial that is styled by Camille Adomakoh. For the series, Tony Ward dons designer staples and accessories from labels that include Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Louboutin and Paul Smith among other names.

Tony sports studded leather jackets, [denim and plaid shirt pairings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaboozey-and-matty-matheson) and even oversized hat accessories that bring his [rugged and masculine character](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tough-guys-soft-sweaters) to life. In his accompanying interview for August Men, the model states "I am a chameleon, I've always changed my look and I always will."
