The Colt Maldonado by Alex Alvarez Portrait Series Features Modernized Suits

— December 27, 2011 — Fashion
The Colt Maldonado by Alex Alvarez portrait series showcases traditionally tailored menswear silhouettes with a modern sensibility. Colt wears suited looks that are avant-garde in their shape. These high contrast monochromatic captures feature a daring wardrobe styled by Marc Anthony Jr.

Newcomer Colt shines in the black and white images looking suave in suits and chic accessories that include leather gloves, studded belts, sneakers, oversized hats and vintage-inspired shades. His classic look is complemented with slicked back hair by Eric Jamieson and grooming by Kuma. The model's look is effortlessly cool, with a vintage-inspired Old Hollywood vibe that is fused with an ultra-modern aesthetic. The fashion-forward shoot takes risks by presenting classic menswear in a new and never before seen way that pushes style boundaries.
