todays shoot highlights a company that goes by the initials D&G and a summer style that’ll get heads turning in your direction.

---

we start from the head, black mirror sunglasses with that D&G emblazoned onto the side on a small gold plate. the acetate frame and temples form a unique shape that doesn’t strain the sides of your head and make a nasty dent around your ears and the bridge of your nose that would come with wearing them over time, making them the perfect sunny weather shades.

next would be the t-shit. it’s a graphic in the form of a black rhinestone dg patched to the front, but all in all it’s just a short sleeved and fully black t-shirt. it fits comfortably enough to wear in either a size too small or a size too big, and in either case- despite it’s 100% cotton compromise- it is extremely breathable.

the pants aren’t anything too fancy either: classic blue selvedge denim jeans- they fit nicely. they’ve got the classic male-pockets, including a smaller pocket within the right for a pocketwatch- unneeded in this day and age, but if it ain’t broke don’t fix it- and a white stripe down the outer seams of the legs. a belt would be covered by the shirt so a waist size slightly smaller than Sevastian’s was picked as to keep them from falling without one.

the shoes are calfskin, custom made with contrasting details, a mix of black ,white, silver, and tan, each color comfortably meshing with one another to bring about a sneaker that calls out your name but not too loudly, as if meaning to passively garner your attention.

as for the accessories, theres a necklace with natural stones with that same DG logo mixed into the equation. the chain is gold with what seems to be small jade or, no, maybe aventurine spheres, mixed in with gold spheres. the watch is a pink-gold and mother-of-pearl, the iridescent backplate not too overpowering yet eye catching all the same. the leather wriststrap does not chafe the arm perse but does draw a lot of heat. a small price to be paid, and honestly, the watch is Sevastian’s favorite part of this outfit.

all these accessories eventually end at a printed drill holdall, big enough to fit around your arm but not too big as to come off as overbearing to seem as if you were planning an outing. it’s a canvas with that same D&G slapped across the front that functions well enough to carry a bottle of water, your pokeballs, a light snack, or whatever you plan on buying during your day out.

poses come natural to Sevastian as well as his Mabosstiff and Mightyena. at one point they’re casually strolling, another they’re sitting on a bench and taking a rest from the heat, sometimes they’re even to the side of the sidewalk, Sevastian pouring bottles of smart water into bowls for the dogs- a bit of impromptu b-roll in the case some other photos don’t turn out well.

whatever the case, cameras were having a field day, as not only were Vanta’s cameras on him, but also fans of the Sevastian’s. this public shoot was set in the middle of Lilycove, a street rented out for the day as to showcase the style while also getting pictures in different natural lightings, one of the bigger features that set apart Vanta from other magazines.

“Sev, you’re on break, lets get some pictures of the girls now.” A director chirped, Sevastian craning his head to look back as he crouched down and capped the water bottle he had been pouring into the bowls.

With a nod, he turned to give his pokemon coos of encouragement, scritching them with both hands before he stood and made his way towards the concession area.
