Amidst last November's autumnal foliage, photographer Peter Siskos and stylist Elly McGaw ventured upstate to capture the complicated push and pull of masculine and feminine energies for our latest fashion editorial. Capturing model Remington Williams among brutalist architectural forms and vestiges of untouched nature, the duo juxtapose pristine land and artificial bodies of water, provoking reflection on the duality of man and architecture.
