Canadian fashion label House of Blanks' Spring 2012 collection features clean and classic sportswear looks. The athletic wear collection features relaxed, comfortable and transitional pieces that achieve a leisurely elegance. Model Lukas Sindicic stars in the stoic spread, lensed by photographer Jason Eric Hardwick.
The easy-to-wear collection has both comfort and fashion in mind, showcasing a variety of cool separates and outerwear looks in a neutral and pastel-infused palate. The shoot, styled by Aurora James and Michael Taylor combines gym gray, charcoal, black and pastel pink for layered looks that include sweats, trousers, tees and outerwear.
The styling has an easy and effortless elegance with an emphasized masculinity that never tries too hard. Lukas rocks a slicked back coif by Eric J. and shows off his inked arms adding to his cleaned up bad-boy persona.
