A reunion of all sorts takes place for AnOther Man’s spring/summer 2010 issue. Working with photographer Ben Toms and stylist Robbie Spencer once more, Thomas Penfound takes to the cool outdoors for a grand showing of label-driven looks. Decisively dark, structure delivers a somber mix of the adventurous and practical.
Next month’s issue of Dazed & Confused livens a lazy day with clean designer-specific ensembles styled by Robbie Spencer. Along for a carefree day of lounging as photographed by David Armstrong are Alexandre Imbert, Adnan Djinovic, Peter Bruder, Romain Prevost, Benoit (Nine Daughters and a Stereo), Callum Wilson, Louis De Castro, Tristan Knights, Florent Sobczak and Thomas Penfound.
Enlisting the help of stylist Robbie Spencer once more, Petrou\Man designer Nicolas Petrou revealed his second collection to date with a presentation. Inspired by the idea of nomads and their many travels, Petrou turned to suiting as the canvas of his abstract art. Representative of the journey of his nomad, Petrou weaved together an intricate mix of patterns and fabrics for a colorful venture that juxtaposes tradition with the currency of tomorrow.
Sean & Seng capture a moody spring for the latest issue of Dazed & Confused. Working with Robbie Spencer, a variety of sets and finishing techniques breathe life into an editorial that houses many layers. Featuring Thomas Penfound, Daniel Lock and Jonas (MandP), the dark editorial reveals an innocent look at select pieces from thoughtful designers that include the likes of Ann Demeulemeester and Raf Simons.
Dazed & Confused is one of the few magazines that are consistent in pushing the envelope and providing a mode for menswear to be expressed in a fashion that is not plagued by the superficial. As Lyle Lodwick explains, “it’s really smart the way Dazed takes a group of artists, all at the top of their game, throws them into a studio with a canvas (the model) and knows that some insane collaboration will be the final product.” Having been featured several times in Dazed & Confused, one of Lyle’s most memorable shoots was his work with Richard Burbridge for this past October’s issue. He recalled the shoot’s “incredible team, which is why the pictures turned out so rad. The legendary Christiaan Houtenbos did the hair and headpieces; Peter Philips, global creative director for Chanel did the makeup, Robbie Spencer from Dazed styled it and [if course] Richard Burbridge…” Although the end results made for a dynamic shoot, there was no gain without pain. “The shoot was about ten hours straight and [Lyle] was the only model, so in between each shot, [they] had to remove all of the makeup and paint to clear the pallet for a completely new concept…” As anyone can imagine, “by the end of the day, [his] skin was really red and hurt a bit”, but it was all in a successful day’s work.
