Top model Travis Smith fronts the "West London Calls" cover story of Client Style Guide USA. Travis is captured by photographer Ian Cole's lens while posing on the streets of a suburban West London neighbourhood.

The long-haired model reveals his signature androgynous look that is groomed by Sandra Bermingham. Wardrobe stylist Kevin Kim outfits the DNA Models face, dressing him in Autumn hues that range from fresh mint greens to deep forest hues.

Kim curates a designer-enriched wardrobe for Travis Smith, outfitting the model in pieces from Lou Dalton, James Long and Wood Wood among other edgy labels. The youthful "West London Calls" image series is a contemporary translation of a classic Londoner aesthetic that mixes classic silhouettes with a rugged street sensibility.
