American streetwear label Rare Panther recently launched a new collection for the Fall/Winter season of 2017, along with a stylized lookbook that stars North Carolina-born artist Reginald Sylvester II.
Throughout the images, which were shot by photographer Michael Faso, the artist poses in a range of indoor and outdoor settings that provide a unique contrast to the vivid graphic apparel that's presented in the collection. The tees, hoodies, sweatpants, hats and more that comprise the collection feature bold graphics that reference legends from film, literature and music.
To give the shots a retro look, Faso often shows Sylvester sitting in vintage furniture pieces, such as a wooden couch that has bright blue and white cushions, or a transparent egg chair.
