Keeping with tradition, Neil Barrett photographs fall’s runway cast, which includes Adrien Brunier, Alexander Jakob, André Bentzer, Clinton Weber, Eddie Klint, Felix Schopgens, Henry Watkins, Jacob Coupe, Jeremie Laheurte, Josh Beech, Luis Borges, Max Barreau, Nicholas Hinman, Patrick Meckelburg, Ramon Von Roon, Sid Ellisdon and Thomas Hoefnagels.
Taking to a lived-in approach for their most recent collection, the latest from Wood Wood plays house to fall’s rich earthy hues. Almost a careless afterthought, save for the collection’s quiet confidence, the range pairs varied proportions together for a casual walkthrough of menswear essentials. From an infectious printed knit to a voluminous parka, Wood Wood’s fall outing is accompanied by both a vintage feel and youthful excitement.
Selected turns to Eddie Klint to front their campaign for the second consecutive season. Based in neutral hues, the shoot takes a warm approach to the spring season with a confident, but understated mood that best complements this season’s collection.
With a ski pass in hand and voluminous layering at work, D&G’s models are ready to hit the slopes. Juxtaposing a formal sensibility with the casualness of winter’s outdoor sports, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana set in motion a playful season of that caters to many functions. While ski pants and jeans are loose and low-slung, knits are either fitted or chunky for use as outerwear. Meanwhile, in a typical Dolce & Gabbana fashion, evening wear makes an appearance in a striking winter white, proving that no matter the location, the D&G man is set–even if that includes a Mickey Mouse motif.
Neil Barrett plays a classic game of Jekyll and Hyde for the upcoming fall season. Using black, gray and leather to create duotones, contrasting natures come together to form subtle reinterpretations of menswear’s core pieces. Offering sleek silhouettes alongside wrinkled fabrics, the Neil Barrett man may be a man of many moods, but his penchant for effortless elegance is continious.
Summing up this season’s collection, Bottega Veneta creative director Tomas Maier explained that with this collection, they “wanted to address the different ways men visualize themselves. Bottega Veneta’s goal is always to expand the vocabulary of men’s wear, to add individuality and expression. So there is sophistication, but also playfulness, bravado, eccentricity, rebelliousness – it all depends on how it’s put together.” Taking that cue, Maier set about with presenting looks for the man of any occasion. While a loose fitted layering of activewear hinted at a chic casualness, low slung denim provided for a sharp contrast against the collection’s more formal approach. The finer points of the collection were constructed by the marriage of high-waist trousers and boxy blazers. Whether dressed in black or a deep purple, Maier’s fall range delivered a functional nonchalance that is ultimately refreshing.
