The Luka Badnjar for Velvet Editorial Features Voluminous Outerwear

— December 13, 2011 — Fashion
The edgy Luka Badnjar for Velvet menswear editorial features monochromatic ensembles that make a statement. Luka sports slicked back hair along with heavy knitted coats and capes. These voluminous silhouettes feature structured fall/winter selects from the latest designer collections.

Luka's bold capes are paired with cashmere and cotton jersey sweaters along with tailored trousers. The model sports pieces from the likes of Raf Simons, Calvin Klein Collection, Y-3, Louis Vuitton, Dior Homme, Emporio Armani as well as other luxury labels. The shoot's boldly masculine wardrobe, styled by the magazine’s fashion editor Nik Piras, makes warm and cozy outerwear seem fashion-forward and edgy.

Structured and voluminous silhouettes, rich luxurious knits and layered styling give starring model Luka Badnjar a rugged look with a dapper aesthetic. The Velvet magazine shoot is fit for a gentleman.
