The black and white campaign was shot in Austin, Texas by legendary rock photographer Danny Clinch for John Varvatos, resulting in a family portrait of the two brothers dressed in the designer’s latest menswear pieces.
« The Marley family is legendary, » explained Varvatos. « Ziggy Marley and Stephen Marley are carrying on this legacy in their own authentic way. Working with them has been incredibly inspiring. They are truly a magical family. »
