After curating a selection of styles inspired by Eastern motifs, Hercules Universal continues its spring-summer 2016 narrative with a retro ease. Model Torin Verdone is the stylish protagonist as he links up with photographer Bruno Staub for an editorial. Captured out and about New York City, Torin dons fashions styled by David Vivirido. Reinterpreting 1970s style with a modern outlook, standout pieces come together from brands such as Gucci, Prada and Dsquared2.
