Josh Beech is one of few male models who can straddle two completely different worlds, edgy and tattooed this clothes-horse appeals to the alternative crew, but his undeniably unique good looks have been a boon in assuring him a role in numerous (even some more mainstream) editorials and campaigns.

patterns on fabric, patterns on skin

One of my all-time favourite editorials, always so inspiring to see the clash of vibrancy work with patterns, textures, print & ink; all tied together with strong hair and makeup. There's not much more I can say, the pictures and drop-dead stunning faces do the talking.
