Gentlemen of Leisure

We are all well aware of the beauty The Karl Lagerfled sends down the runway and in front of the camera. But what about his exquisite artistic touch behind the camera?

In this latest fashion spread for VMAN Karl shoots models Baptiste Giabiconi and Iris Strubegger, who appears elegantly androgynous.

“Spring’s finest-cut suits hark back to a time of old-world elegance and tailoring.  Inspired by icons like the Duke of Windsor, Rudolph Valentino, Gary Cooper, and Baron Nicolas De Gunzburg, these photographs beg the question, how well kept are you?”

Apparently, not well enough. Sign me up Karl!
