There's an undeniable duality concerning these photos from the Milano Portfolio by Giampaolo Sgura. Four dashing male models sport slicked hair and stylish suits, but their bottom halves reveal an entirely different tone.
One could argue that Miguel Arnau really only had half of a job when it came to styling up this inclusion in Men in Italy's recent book. Dress shirts, neckties and blazers have been completely cut at the wearers' waistlines to divulge bare skin from the hips down.
As drop-dead gorgeous as these debonaire models are, a hint of modesty remains, as each clasps his hands in front of his manhood. The overall pictures created have a playful quality of the overdressed and the under, giving these black and white images from the Milano Portfolio by Giampaolo Sgura an irresistible appeal.
