In the sixth and latest issue of Under/current Magazine, model James Smith was artfully captured by the lens of photographer Harley Weir in a shoot that combined suited separates with sports apparel. Styled by Max Clark with pieces from designer labels such as Comme Des Garcons, Yohji Yamamoto and the Calvin Kleinn Collection just to name a few, these photos combine some of the most desired pieces for the upcoming summer season.
Long silhouettes, slouchy suits and avant-garde sportswear paired with vintage trainers make for some ultra-contemporary looks. The photos play off of this modern theme by casting a young, androgynous, male model to star in the shoot and by adding some crazy-lined patterns to the images. So if you're looking for a new look that is both sporty and stylish come this spring, check out these shots from Harley Weir for some inspiration.
