GQ China has bomber fever as the magazine gets sporty with a new editorial for its August 2016 issue. Lensed by photographer Giampaolo Sgura, the Sports Luxe story features models Connor Newall, Dillon Westbrock, Erik Van Gils, and Fionnan Byrne-Perkins. Pairing bomber jackets with turtlenecks, hoodies, and slim-cut trousers, stylist Grant Pierce pulls from a selection of luxury labels that ranges from Dior Homme to Maison Margiela.
