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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tss). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climber-easy-pants) and outerwear, the guys sport the latest designer menswear gear from labels that include selects from Topman, A Bathing Ape, [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/y3-ss26), Polo Ralph Lauren, Bottega Veneta, Issey Miyake and Just Cavalli among others.
