Hours before Riccardo Tisci presents his Givenchy menswear show in Paris this evening, we present an iconic portrait from A#8. Shot by Belgian photographer Willy Vanderperre, Canadian model Simon Nessman‘s boyish curls, feline eyes and lithe, masculine frame are showcased in movement as he turns across a white backdrop wearing only a silver rosary.

In pure black and white, Willy’s romantic imagery holds a strong chiaroscuro, his model like a dancer in front of the lens.
