The TO-ORIST 2012 Fall/Winter look book is an interesting blend of masculine and feminine elements. The London-based label has drawn inspiration from nature, which translated into the use of floral prints throughout the collection. These softer features are contrasted with black leather jackets and black leather boots with chains. Detailing, layering and paneling are all used in order to marry the opposing elements into a very androgynous collection.
The model is styled to be androgynous as well. His long flowing hair and the floral print bring plenty of femininity to the shoot, while the leather looks and his masculine stature bring contrast. The overall result is a photo shoot that blurs the line between pretty and edgy.
The TO-ORIST 2012 Fall/Winter collection is available in the brand's flagship store in London, or through its online store.
