Wax & Wayne in POSI+TIVE magazine features top model Tony Ward in a sparse array of [all-white looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) curated by stylist Risa Knight. The nine-page editorial is a mix of black-and-white images and dramatic color photos; photographer Lope Navo took advantage of Ward's angled jawline, rippled muscles and Roman nose by capturing close-ups and full-body images in which the model wears next to nothing.

Sarah Sibia was responsible for grooming in Wax & Wayne in POSI+TIVE magazine, opting for a slightly tousled hairdo and five o'clock shadow on Tony Ward to further accentuate the [effortless theme of the editorial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit). In every image, Ward's [abundant tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet) make an appearance, a detail that adds an extra measure of grittiness to the sensualized editorial.
