Transitioning from the light hues of last season to complete darkness, The Individualist(s) turn to photographer Jean-François Gschwindt to capture the spirit of fall’s collection. Enlisting Bananas model Louis de Castro for their latest chapter, The Individualist(s) employ a somber mood for the lofty collection entitled “Crying Light”. A delicate discourse on tailored suiting and outerwear, the range manages to dispel general appropriateness with soft adaptations in shape and feel. Opting for a collection that revels in an apparent lightness, the black and gray ensembles achieve an effortless finesse from each subtle detail to each refined lapel.

The Individualists is a new label by Paris-based design duo Luise & Franck. The debut collection “Birds” is a smart balance of both safe and daring design approaches. Young and fresh, the range brings fourth looks as contemporary as a sheer u-neck darted in all the right places or as traditional as a bib collar shirt. Allowing for both fitted and loose, oversize garments, the light and dark, sometimes fun, other times serious collection represents a beautiful duality. From the subtle inclusion of birds across the back of a shirt to a lapel neck piece and dusted shoulders, the collection is a clever reinterpretation of modern classics.
