Birmingham Street Style Project – Damion

Another set of images for my Birmingham Street Style Project and in collaboration with The Rakish Gent – Damion whom I photographed at Bullring. Damion looked very stylish, in an effortless urban way, in his three quarter double-breasted coat, slim black jeans and slate T-shirt.

This is the case when the whole monochrome tone-on-tone trend is interpreted succinctly and effectively. Textured fabrics contrast with plain ones, shiny metal skulls are set against matt T-shirt, and urban suave look is counterpoised by the braids and ‘tribal’ urban street men jewellery – studded wrist band and jet bracelets, and the skull necklace. I even took Damion aside to the uneven stone wall surface to continue with the monochrome theme.

Have I told you that I am in love with the skull jewellery? There are plenty of offerings on the high street, but my favs come from Shopstyle.
