today’s already the last day of castings in town before most of the boys head up for milan fashion week, therefore also the last episode of this exclusive ‘behind the scenes’ story at the men’s paris fashion week castings …
a nicer & easier day for model hunting than yesterday : sun is back and running around town is over since there’s only one same place (the headquarters of totem, one of the most prominent press agencies in town) for the castings for 5 different shows (ehud, julius, juun j, songzio and walter van beirendonck) !
and a nice list of new trophies which one more time includes some already very familiar names (frey mudd, oskar tranum, thiago santos, timothée elkaïm, russell giardina, chris rayner, bruce machado, lowell tautchin etc), a couple of rising faces (eugeniy sauchanka, florian van bael, mattía corrias etc) and several newcomers (victor leclerc, chady dnaf, laurin titze etc) …
thank you guys, i had a real good time and hope to see you back here in 2 weeks for the shows !

Defined by a narrow perspective, there is not much to say about the Julius man that has not been said before. However, dark, urban and aloof, the latest from Julius designer Tatsuro Horikawa appeals to a wide audience in part or as a whole. Dissected, soft airy silhouettes offer menswear a gentle variety, while as an ensemble, the Julius man can be seen as combative – even dangerous. Covered in oversize pockets and a chaotic field of straps, spring’s collection provides the tools to navigate through a modern jungle, whether imaginative or literal. Altogether, consistent and carefully crafted, Julius dismisses the hustle and bussle of the outside world with a genuine approach to a pure existence.

Featured in the April 2010 issue of Japanese magazine High Fashion, photographer <a href=http://www.joannavanmulder.com” target=_blank>Joanna van Mulder captures the romantic side of Julius. Casting Axel Miraton and Benoit, Julius’ soft spring layers are juxtaposed alongside the abstract for a serene atmosphere.


Walking to the sound of their own beat, Julius works within their own context, progressing a fall season that is darker than last. With their faces obstructed by dramatic bangs, Julius’ models course the runway in meticulous draping, treated leather and bold skin-baring silhouettes that defy the season’s functional staples.

The month of intense arrivals is upon us and Atelier New York has received its fall shipment from Japanese label Julius. Long coats, knits, cardigans and tops in Julius’ customary color palette make for another stellar buy from the beloved New York store.

Primarily interested in art and less with the whims of the fashion world, it is no surprise that Julius designer Tatsuro Horikawa had no hesitation to wrap the Julius man head to toe this season in a mummy-like manner. Sheer, light and layered, the collection bears a predominantly white color palette with the exception of Korikawa’s dependence on black and the sporadic use of mustard yellow and gray. Overall, Horikawa turns up the ante with his use of draping, but stays true to the Julius aesthetic with deconstructed tops, buttery soft leather jackets and trousers, both billowing and form fitted.
