Free Willy mood boards

I've been going through some of my old mood boards lately for kicks, and wanted to share the ones I made for the 'Free Willy' editorial I styled for issue 7 of 1883 Magazine with badass photographer Viktor Vauthier and the über fucking cool Willy Cartier as our model.  (see the entire shoot HERE).

I wanted to feature some of the bright and bold menswear trends that were happening at the time (floral, tartan, denim on denim, the resurgence of 90's style logos, etc) paired with a more sinister S&M meets hostage kind of mood.  It's definitely one of my favorite menswear editorials of all time and goes to show that a lot of prep work & research along with a stellar team = quality.  Hope you like them and perhaps they will inspire you too.

cross patterned denim / W Dress Room
gladiator sandals / Giordano
antique key necklace / Burger & Fries
silver bear & wolf ring / no brand



I may or may not have gone to the KTZ store in Soho not long after Burger came home with his heart patterned shirt to see what deals I could find. Lucky enough I found this bold t-shirt, half stripes half fleur de lis pattern and it totally made my day. I matched it with my cross patterned skinny jeans from W Dress Room by Korean designer CHOI BUM SUK and my gladiator sandals I bought a few seasons back, making sure I fastened the buckles over the ankles of the tight denim.






I wore these wolf & bear rings of Burgers on my pinkie as well as this necklace I crafted out of a few identical antique keys which I am in love with. It is also featured on our new official boutique on ASOS Marketplace called Burger & Fries. Make sure to check out the dozens of one of a kind handmade accessories, reformed vintage goods and thrifted treasures we have listed up on the site - I'll be updating more about our boutique soon!
