All American

Suburbia gets a heavy dose of city style in this ‘All American’ editorial from T magazine. Featuring model Erik Fallberg of Premium Models wearing pieces from designer labels such as Salvatore Ferragamo, Missoni, Hermès and many more, this style story shows the versatility of a staple in every man’s wardrobe: the leather jacket.

Lensed by Matthew Kristall and styled by Jason Rider, ‘All American’ is a tribute to the iconic symbol of youth and rebellion with a modern twist: it presents the leather jacket in a way that is mature, refined, and all grown up.
