Israeli Central Saint Martins’ graduate Assaf Reeb is, like all great men, a fan of male nudity.

The Peter Jensen-tutored menswear designer has already had clothing produced by Tilda Swinton favourite Pringle Of Scotland, and for his graduate collection was inspired by 20th century photographs of young male rowing teams, hoping to channel the training-wear’s naïveté and daring.

More clothes no man, gay or str8, would wear.
