Allan Vos 2013

This, to me, reads historical futurism. I'm enjoying these pieces by Allan Vos for his latest collection: just recently seen at Amsterdam Fashion Week. The collection works nicely in the outdoors setting--estate vibe. And I enjoy the cut and asymmetrical fold seen in both the short and long jackets. Styled by Juan Velazquez Caceres and photographed by Martijn Senders. See more HERE on Fashionisto.

Brian Geradts Fall/Winter 2012 via FuckingYoung!

The setting is beautiful, but what I enjoy more about this video, featuring the designs of Brian Geradts, is the long sleeveless jacket and the silver, shimmering pants. The jacket is below: check out the shoulders--the sharp edge is what I'm drawn to most. The pants you can see in the video along with the killer scenery of the Maltese Islands. Check it out below. See it all HERE on FuckingYoung!

"Doheny Drive" by Doug Inglish

Definitely some Brando being channeled in this Beverly Hills/Hollywood entitled set by Doug Inglish for Numero Homme China #5--"Doheny Drive." This is just a great shot with the chain, and a bit of a peek-a-boo shot underneath. See more of the shoot HERE on SissyDude.

Look from Lonely Robot in a Wasteland

Great look from Lonely Robot in a Wasteland blogger. I enjoy the metallic hint on the shirt collar--Zara--and the belt and sunglasses help round out the leisurely traveler feel. See more details and snapshots of the look HERE.

Strateas-Carlucci Fall/Winter 2012-13

Relatively new label, Strateas.Carlucci, offer a collection entitled Parallels that features aggressively asymmetrical designs as seen in the "diamond" blazer below. I'm enjoying the tails on this piece. This is also a great shot for the label's campaign--echos the ethos. See more of the collection HERE on the label site.

TEQUILA SUNRISE--Out Mag

Summer Decadence. What I wouldn't give to walk around a private island in my very own Tom Ford robe and a nice pair of Dior Homme unders. See the rest of this spread shot by Dean Isidro and styled by Grant Woolhead for Out HERE via SteelMachines

A Thou­sand Hun­dred Degrees--Fashionisto

This Fashionisto exclusive spread features the work of photographer Javi Dardo with stylist Débora Traitè. 
The look is all American Apparel. I'm enjoying the vintage feel with help from the glasses--Summer is almost here, indeed. 

 

Dainius Bendikas F/W 2012

Dainius Bendikas is presenting his latest collection for Fall/Winter 2012 as photographed here by Visvaldas Morkevicius. Bendikas is based in Lithuania. What I'm enjoying most about this "lookbook" of sorts is the setting, the other-worldly designs, yet earthy hues and textures--but mostly I enjoy the use of the triangular mask that adds a bit more drama and interest. See more of the shoot HERE on Fashionisto. Bendikas is still working on a website, but you can read more about the young designer HERE on DazedDigital

Heatwave on Route 66--Spain

This story, photographed by Giampaolo Sgura and styled by Miguel Arnau for a Spanish Newspaper supplement, is loaded with prints and textures. This shot, which I enjoy for the sunglasses, features pieces from MSGM, Prada, D&G. The sunglasses are the stylist's own. See more of the story HERE on Morphosis

Uniforms for the Dedicated S/S 2012

Swedish brand Uniforms for the Dedicated  take to the forest to highlight their new, eco-friendly Spring/Summer collection, "The Blue Cone Colony." It's a beautiful setting, with some mist and fog, that suits the earthy yet refined garments like the smart jacket below--with the blue lapel and inner-sleeves. See more of the collection HERE on This.Hearts.On.Fire. 

Rufskin: Sheer collection

James Dean, but in a one piece--for which I am a fan of both. This shot is by Ethan James and features a sheer one piece from Rufskin, for purchase HERE. I enjoy the pairing of two sexy materials in black as well as the vintage feel of the shot. See more of the spread HERE on Homotography.

Reversing the Suit: Shoot by Oscar Correcher

I enjoy the styling concept behind this shoot: almost a deconstruction of a suit. Adding the denim jacket-vest over top, I think, is a fantastic idea. I'm also down with experimenting with the cutting out of the upper-pec/shoulder regions of the shirt, along with the turning inside-out of the suit jacket--Fresh Prince style: it's very flame reminiscent at the bottom edges.

Fall as shot by Matteo Felici

Matteo Felici and stylist Umberto Sannino find Fall inspiration. I enjoy the split colored mohair turtle, lost in the leaves. And with the glasses and hair--all I can think about is The Graduate, and the music of S&G. "Hello Silence." I'm enjoying Felici's shots more than anything--perhaps I'm hypnotized by the golden leaves. See more from the shoot HERE on Fashionisto

"Headwear" in Fashion156

Fashion156 dedicates its current issue to Headwear--topping looks off with the perfect hat...or...other...stuff. Whatever you choose: wearing a hat--or rather, something on your head/face region--can make quite the statement. Case in point, this silhouette (and great shot by Fabrice Lachant)  created by the outline of the Laird London hat paired with the cape by Felipe Rojas Llanos.

A "Sprint" in Dior

What I enjoy about this clip--other than the setting along a country road--is that you can sense a different mood for each look: a unique story that corresponds to the image and feel of each outfit that incorporates ideas about why this man is running down the road, who--if anyone/thing is he chasing, where did he come from, why is he there???? New story, new character for each look. The film was done for issue 11 of Hercules Mag.

Brian Lichtenberg in UMag August 2011

Shirley Yu photographs pieces by Brian Lichtenberg of L.A. for the sex issue--August 2011-- of UMag: the feature entitled "Summer Time." I'm a fan of the reflective jacket and enjoy the way Lictenberg brings that glimmer to the simplistic structure of a tank. See more HERE on UMag.

Photo by Andreas Ohlund for Cafe

This is a guy who spends lots of time alone--a bit solitary. I enjoy this photo because of its softer side, yet there are dark forces working underneath this pose--defensive yet vulnerable as the wind hits his face. I'm also enjoying the way the coat rests around the sides, and the exposed ankles. Not a pose you see a lot in men's fashion. This was taken by Andreas Öhlund for Café.

Uncommon Creatures S/S 2012

The last collection for Uncommon Creatures gave us gypsy inspired creations. For the Spring/Summer 2012 collection, Uncommon Creatures looks to the Pathan people of the Afghan and Pakistani mountains. Of course, such lives are spent--a great deal--outdoors. I'm enjoying the setting for the lookbook images as well as the draped head dresses and turban hats (created by hand by Mathilde Forster). See and read more HERE on this.hearts.on.fire.

Into the Wind by Stefan Giftthaler

Photographer Stefan Giftthaler shot model Saverio Rotini for "Into the Wind" in Feld 100.  I enjoy the outdoors and I enjoy--even more--being outside in the wind. See more of the shoot HERE on Homotography
