John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Jil Sander and Valentino are just some of the famed labels featured in the 'Untitled 4/9' L'Officiel Hommes Italia editorial. Gracing the European publication's Spring/Summer 2013 issue, this striking menswear image series highlights sophisticated and graphically vivid shirt designs from some of fashion's most reputable designer names.

In addition to surrealist inspired imagery, these botanical, utilitarian and painterly portraits highlight a slew of covetable shirt and blazer garments that are captured at close range.

Setting the tone for the Spring and Summer seasons, the 'Untitled 4/9' L'Officiel Hommes Italia fashion story embraces vibrant color hues, clashing textile prints and an array of artfully applied accents that merge the visions of talented photographer Jeremias Morandell and fierce stylist Marco Manni.
