The 'Tribal Gathering' Nylon Guys editorial is featured in the magazine's March 2012 issue. Photographer Willem Jaspert captures models Dan Felton, Jimmy Q and Louis Yearwood in a shoot that pushes style boundaries.
Not shying away from color, stylist Andrew Davis dresses models in an eclectic array of eye-catching prints and bold patterns. From bright bursts of color to prints that take cues from a grunge-inspired aesthetic, this edgy editorial dares to stand out.
The guys wear a multitude of opposing colors and textures making for a rich and youth-infused wardrobe showcase. From lightweight knits to patterned pants and outerwear, the guys sport the latest designer menswear gear from labels that include selects from Topman, A Bathing Ape, Adidas, Polo Ralph Lauren, Bottega Veneta, Issey Miyake and Just Cavalli among others.
