Nicola Formichetti and Terry Richardson decided to double team a small army of boys for Vogue Hommes Japan‘s “Boys Town.” The result is an über stylish spread that brings to mind the heady male modeling days of the 1980s starring recent Humpday highlights Jordan and Zac Stenmark, Jesse Shannon, Rafael Perez, Arthur Gosse, Jamie Wise, Alexander Beck, Simon van Meerveene, Dae Na, Alex Michaels, Allen Taylor, German Ruiz, Hao Yun Xiang and fish-mouthed beauty Justin Halley.

This week, the pool shrinks; the purveyors of style are gathered in one spot. For street style photographers, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel.
