I had a chuckle (actually, many chuckles) while clicking through 'It Kidz' for 160G Magazine. The editorial features nude men rocking some flashback hairstyles from the 40s to the present. Slicked-back 'dos, greaser pompadours, 70s bowl cuts, 80s puffed-up piles, and 90s mullets are all represented in fine fashion.
Gregor Makris was behind the fierce hair for 'It Kidz' for 160G Magazine, and Ben Lamberty was the photographer.
Implications - The models who dared to rock the wild hairstyles in the buff are Alexander, Peer and Sidney. Some of the boys can be seen making funny faces, while others take on more serious roles. The background for the shoot is a simple grey or blue so that viewers can easily focus on the hairstyles.
