For GQ's annual Best New Designers in America feature, the magazine modeled six of the most stylish up-and-comer labels on TV casts both established and new.
Four members of the controversial MTV show 'Skins' -- James Newman, Jesse Carere, Danny Flaherty and Ron Mustafaa -- donned LA-based surfwear Warriors of Radness for the shoot.
Designer Rick Klotz told GQ of his inspiration: "Whenever I'm looking for fresh ideas, I call up friends, and I'm like, 'Hey, man, can I snag your photo album from '86?' I always know those will be packed with a bunch of badass guys with blond hair and bright wet suits."
Not the first thing we think when we see 'Skins' stars (that'd be "sex" and "scandal," respectively), but with a cool photo like this, we'll take it.
The GQ portfolio also includes the casts of 'The Vampire Diaries,' 'Friday Night Lights' and 'Mad Men.' After the jump, see the 'Community' guys get their prep on with Gant by Michael Bastian.
Interestingly enough, 45-year-old NYC-based designer Michael Bastian commented on celebrity style for his profile accompanying 'Community' stars Chevy Chase, Donal Glover, Joel McHale, Ken Jeong and Danny Pudi wearing the Gant by Michael Bastian collection: "I'm ready for the whole stylist phenomenon with celebrities to go away," Bastian says. "People always ask, 'Whose style do you admire?' Well, it's hard to say, because I don't think we're seeing personal style; we're seeing hired style."
