This strong masculine and mature menswear story looks incredibly true to photography duo Karine + Oliver’s work. We love everything from the location to the casting and the styling is on point to the Vogue - Man brand. The mix of color and black & white images makes the story very expressive, as the model is seen finding himself surrounded by natures beauty.

With two decades of working experience, Christian Schleisner has achieved an exceptional mastery of styling within the fields of fashion, music and advertising. In his work Christian brings his Scandinavian heritage into play which he combines with a touch of flamboyant experimentation. With his natural sense of aesthetics and playful curiosity, he has created harmonious visionary and artistic imagery. Christian has become a well known name among leading international publications and commercial clients who praise not only his professional work, but also his positive and collaborative attitude.

We are 6 months down the road after we launched Beautiful Blood Magazine, the No.4 Issue really sets the tone and the meaning behind the magazine. However, diversity is such a big topic and we cannot give it justice by doing just one story or a piece on it so we decided to celebrate it with one main story followed by a series of online cover stories. Thanks to all the contributing artists for making this happen.
