The Manuscript magazine Dark Knight editorial is Batman-inspired, taking fashion cues from the masked superhero. The editorial for the magazine's debut issue stars male model Jeremy Dufour, who plays the role of Dark Knight in this pictorial lensed by photographer Paul Scala.
Jeremy sports looks exclusively from Lanvin's Spring 2012 collection. The edgy wardrobe, styled by Jolyon Mason, consists of leather-clad looks that give a fashion-forward edge to the famed superhero's style who serves as inspiration for Lanvin menswear designer Lucas Ossendrijver's latest collection.
The designer's fascination with the masked hero makes for a stunning spread incorporating a variety of photographic techniques. Paul Scala's high-constrast monochromatic imagery is reminiscent of black and white pages of a comic book. Jeremy lounges on rooftops giving the overall shoot a gritty and urban vibe fit for a hero.
