Candid Barbershop Editorials

WAD France's Wave Room Image Series is Raw and Revealing

Photographer Mehdi Lacoste captures "Wave Room", an exclusive fashion story for the latest edition of WAD France. This candid editorial brings its barbershop theme to life with models Khari Oriogun, Pedro Lo and Jack Templeman who pose alongside the shoot's other stars Jerome Brown, Tony Or and Matt Rodwell.

The guys text, daydream and read while getting their hair cut or sitting still for a close shave. Styling for WAD France's "Wave Room" fashion story is courtesy of Troy Fearn who dresses the guys in retro-themed streetwear looks from a number of top designer labels.

The pieces range from retro windbreakers and bomber jackets to silk shirts and turtleneck garments. This image series embodies an effortlessly cool air and is an ode to the styles of the 90s.
