Preparing for disaster, New York-based photographer Bell Soto rounds up a fine group of models for his Guapo spread styled by Timothy Reukauf. Dressed head to toe in their animalistic best, Callan (New York Models), James Hampson, Jonatan Frenk, Matthew Hitt, Nicola (Ford), Nils Lawton, Tommy Cox and Vincent Lacrocq make the cut for a tongue-in-cheek spread.
Jonatan Frenk and Reid Prebenda bring February to a close with an editorial photographed by Guy Aroch for the month’s issue of GQ Italy. Styled by Andrea Tenerani, the duo are not too far out of their element, portraying stylish jet-setters, always ready for the next destination.
The Age of Innocence meets Gangs of New York for the latest outing from New York-based designer Timo Weiland. Working with co-designer Alan Eckstein, Weiland turned to precise proportions and exquisite tailoring to portray their idea of dressing as an art. Using texture to their advantage, the basis of the collection centers around the grounding of the suit as casual, while sharp outerwear takes a more formal approach–cast in both wools and knits. Altogether, fall’s venture succeeds in gracing everyday wear with a touching sense of refinement.
Chipping away at the superficial embellishments of life, fall’s collection from Odyn Vovk looks to body, mind and essence to fulfill this season’s vision. Bringing together the remains of a not to distant past, designer Austin Sherbanenko sent his men down the runway in somber layers of wool, linen and leather. A rapid succession of deconstructed separates proved to have the precision to unearth a gritty sense of refinement. Traveling the well-versed path between simple hooded sweatshirts and ready-to-layer shorts to more complicated pieces like the collection’s outerwear, Sherbanenko looked to texture and fabric for a dynamic quality. From capes and cropped denim to exposed shirt tails, the Odyn Vovk man evolves into a more complex character with a style that has gradually been worn away for a more organic finish.
Leaving his dandy behind, Antonio Azzuolo takes a trip west this fall. Combining quirky knits with suiting separates, Azzuolo breaks with structure and shows a more casual side for a change. Going the way of unexpected, the collection evokes a retro vibe in favor of the excitement provided by a second life and new uses. Also tipping the scales in favor of trends, leggings find their way into the collection, being paired with suiting trousers. Altogether, fall’s collection brings together an unusual grouping of aesthetics that will prove to either be a hit or miss.
M. Grifoni Denim sets the stage for a fresh spring season with simplicity, the predominant use of white and a general lived-in quality. From ripped and cuffed denim to worn tops, Grifoni creates a modest wardrobe that exhibits a certain carelessness, while still managing to create clean casual looks.
