It's kinda of a random exposé of brotherly love but you know what, I find it very innovative and a breath of fresh air... just hear me out. You see, guy models (when photographed in groups) are always portrayed in two manners: 1) in a bold, powerful, and sometimes violent light- they interact with one another is brass and distant ways or 2) in very homoerotic poses that can/are also very effeminate (and there is nothing wrong with that either.) But very seldom, if not ever, are guys captured in true moments of camaraderie. But not this time around. Even though some of the shots are a bit touchy-touchy, I feel that an essence of true brotherly love is evoked. A sense of compassion, conviviality, and esprit de corps is tastefully evident. Boys aren't just monsters to one another, we also do give a broseph a shoulder to lean on when needed. Truly a great step in the real right direction. Plus the seriously killer threads from the likes of Raf Simons, Prada and Anne Demeulemeester aint too bad either.
