Top model Sean O'Pry stars in 'The King', a retro-inspired fashion story that graces GQ Style UK's May 2014 issue. Photographer Guy Aroch captures Sean in the 50s-themed image series that pays tribute to music legend Elvis Presley.
Known for his rock-a-billy sound, his low voice and his hip-shaking moves, Elvis will forever go down in history as one of music's most recognized and respected names. The late singer and actor's spirit is brought to life by model Sean O'Pry who embodies his effortlessly cool air in GQ Style UK's 'The King' editorial.
Sean is outfitted by stylist Jo Levin who dresses him in a wardrobe of retro menswear pieces that range from tweed short and plaid-printed blazers to a mix of tropical and western-inspired statement shirts.
