Ash Stymest, Ben Waters and Matt King star in the 'Diary' Grit Magazine editorial. The model trio is captured by photographers Saty+Pratha. The duo takes their bold visual concept from author Chuck Palahniuk's novel of the same name, basing their portraits around the story's main character.
Ash, Ben and Matt are outfitted by styling duo Tzarkusi and sport retro-infused pieces from labels like Martine Rose, Matthew Miller and Omar Kashoura among others. The models' 80s-inspired wardrobe is paired with brightly painted hair and off-kilter headwear pieces by Tomihiro Kono.
Much like the novel's main character, the models in the 'Diary' Grit Magazine editorial channel an artist who is quaint in appearance despite coming from a wealthy family. The guys sport a minimally modern wardrobe mirroring the character's description of wearing mostly boxy silhouettes with subtle touches of antique jewels.
