Kabuki by Jon Jacobsen

This is a great story, shot by Jon Jacobsen, and entitled "Kabuki." But the shoot actually also has a Japanese Noh dance vibe. What I enjoy so much is the styling and make-up, but also the sense of movement. You can see more of the shoot HERE on Morphosis. And check out Jacobsen's site HERE.

Styling & Production: Ulises and Estefania Salas
Make Up: Marcelo Bhanu for Dior
Model is Diogo (New Models Chile)

Givenchy Spring 2014 Pre-Collection

What I enjoy about Givenchy's Spring 2014 Pre-Collection is the mix of floral prints with camo. It's a marriage of the "masculine" and the "feminine" that I think is right for the now we are in. Of course, I also like the flame motif paired with the slacks under a skirt-like piece: reads slightly Middle Eastern to me--this world-meets-street style should continue. A friend of mine recently predicted that we are going to go through a resurrection of fashions from the past, each in succession as they originally appeared. Right now, the '20s; so, the 30's would be next, and so on. I hope this isn't true, or at least, if it is, I hope that the fashions keep it moving forward, even when looking back. And even if this is so, men's fashion should continue playing with "feminine" tropes: What about a male "flapper?" See more of the Givenchy Spring 2014 Pre-Collection HERE on Selectism.

"Masculine Mystery" in Dansk

Serving up Rhythm Nation realness--and I'm loving it. This is a shot by Stefan Zschernitz for Dansk Magazine, featuring pieces by Prada. What a coat: the waist right where I like it. The silhouette, including the hair, is right on with this look. See more of the shoot HERE on Morphosis.

"Chic Creep" on Fashionisto

Shot and groomed by Manu and Pascal, this shoot for Fashionisto, "Chic Creep," features one of the best haircuts/styles I've seen in some time. I enjoy the winged effect from the side the most. See more of the shoot, including a couple more hair styling choices HERE on Fashionisto.

"Brr Rogers"

All about the hair--hair envy you might say. You see, unfortunately, it's so hard to get such a sharp and edged look with curly hair like mine.
This shoot was done by Steve Marais and Marco Riekstins (Manofthecloth) for Homotography.

Asher Levine Spring/Summer 2013

Cruise is the name given to the latest collection by Asher Levine. And this is my favorite look from his lookbook--very dark antihero. The "hero" effect is created by a piece Levine has designed that is more-or-less an extra-extra-long shirt but with split tails. See more of the lookbook at Levine's site HERE.

Kris Van Assche--Dior Homme Special

Photographed by Bruno Staub for Numero Homme China, is Dior Homme Special by Kris Van Assche. I'm enjoying the hair--slick, but askew; somewhat of a 20's feel. See more of such "special" pieces HERE on FuckingYoung.

Hair in L’Officiel Hommes Ukraine

What can I say?...There's so much hair here that it makes me wonder if the model is wearing a "bumpit." This is the men's take on the beehive, but even Elvis had nothing on this towered pompadour. Shot by Anton Kovalenko. Grooming done here by Tanya Kalinichenko for  L’Officiel Hommes, Ukraine. See the rest HERE on Fashionisto

Baartmans and Siegel

These photos feature pieces from the S/S 2012 "Dust Drifters" collection by the duo of Baartmans and Siegel. What gets my eye first is the bright orange hair, of course. But what I enjoy most about the lookbook shots is the styling: utilizing the scarf to hint at head-dress with a Eurasian--or actually, maybe AFRICAN flare. They are just striking shots. The team then take the blend of cultures further with the campaign look for the same collection--this time covering the model in gold dust. See more of the "Dust Drifters" lookbook HERE on Morphosis. Check out the collection as seen on the runway HERE. Also, below is the runway video of Baartmans and Siegel's latest A/W 2012 collection "Milk Tray Man"

Yohan Serfaty S/S 2012

A very romantic pose and feel with the white jacket by Yohan Serfaty for his latest collection entitled Ad Vitam--Making for a romantic life. Nice stache and curls, too. I'm also enjoying the way the long gray coat falls. See more of the collection HERE on This.Hearts.On.Fire.

Unconditional Spring/Summer 2012

Unconditional is a bit of an unconventional brand as demonstrated by the pants below: I enjoy the triangular seam at the crotch and don't find it at all off-putting. I'm also enjoying the accessorizing using the spiked holster--and the slicked hair (not to mention the model's facial accessories). The beaded detail on the lapel of the sleeveless jacket is nice as well.

Bon Abstract Combinations

What I am enjoying most about this editorial are the stellar combinations of print, shape, and texture. Photographed by Andreas E. G. Larsson with styling by Stevie Westgarth for Bon magazine. The red and orange in the first pic (jacket and turtleneck) are thanks to Mugler. The second pic--which I enjoy for its off kilter angle--features Prada color blocking, and J.W. Anderson paisley. See more of the Abstract looks HERE on Fashionisto.
