You know how they say less is more? Well, GQ Style Deutschland seems to disagree in its new Spring/Summer 2009 issue.
Following their excessively vibrant neon-colored editorial by Tony Duran (see it in related section below), we bring you an editorial by photographer Joe Lally that takes patterns and prints to the extreme.
The editorial features the handsome Taylor Fuchs mixing and matching all sorts of prints in each and every item, from his necktie to his shirt, pants and jacket. The busy look is finished with geek-chic glasses.
I personally like this look, but I do not think just anyone can pull it off. Oh, you say you can? Well, prove me wrong and upload your printastic photo as a reaction below.
