The 'We Belong To The Sea' DEW editorial graces the publication's #7 Fall/Winter 2012 Political issue. Dulcedo Models Alex B and Nikita star in a sea-punk-inspired image series lensed by photographer Andy Long Hoang.

The guys are dressed in outrageous designer pieces from the likes of ASOS, [Urban Outfitters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futurewise), Raf Simons and Bernhard Willhelm to name a few. From technicolored hair and beauty looks by Amal Afoussi to their [androgynous wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir) by stylist Tinashe Musara, the model duo prove they can pull off some of the most daring styles of today's generation.
