In this Raf Simons fashion editorial shot by Matthew Stone for Clash magazine, the photographer relies and the angular proportions of male models Keith Hernandez and Juan Manuel Arancibia to highlight the beautiful, triangular compositions he creates before the lens by having the model duo pose together in a series of body entaglements.
Tenderness, youth and strength are all themes explored in this series of melancholic shots, which also work well with Simons's postmodern approach to clothing. And, although the subjects of these photographs pout moodily within them, these prints feature soft colors and creative positioning from artist Matthew Stone which do more to communicate theme, story and emotion than just the models could have provided on their own.
