Chris Davis, Harry Pulley, Ian Sheridan and others star in "Don't Cry", an editorial exclusive for the pages of Twelv magazine. The models pose in front of some colored and [monochromatic backdrop vignettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) while crying into the camera's lens.

"Don't Cry" is captured by photographer Chama's lens and highlights a wardrobe of effortlessly cool casuals that are hand-picked by stylist Hissa Igarashi. Hissa dresses her model muses in leather jackets, [slim-fitting suits and classic collared shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25) from [Dior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otani) Homme's Fall/Winter 2014 collection. The collection is youthful and urban, both staples of Hedi Slimane's cool designs.

Twelv magazine's melancholy exclusive captures models as they showcase their emotions. Wearing their heart on their sleeve, the guys pull off bold streetwear looks that are designed with the urban-style setter in mind.
