The Wonderland Jordan Sorbom cover photoshoot plays up on avant-garde cosmetics. The model is at the fore of the magazine's November/December 2014 issue, showcasing his propensity for daring displays of fashion via stripes of white face paint.
Stylist Andrew Davis executed this unusual display of menswear. Davis did so with the help of tribal-themed cosmetics, marking Sorbom's face with striking patterns and shapes drawn across his nose, cheeks and forehead.
Paired with Sorbom's fearless make up was a graphic print leather jacket. Signs and numbers were etched across the front of the coat, allowing it to perfectly match this offbeat beauty feature. With a high neck line and zippered front, the look comes across as approachable despite its bold elements.
