New World–Looking to bring a new dimension to his celebrated vision on tailored classics, Giorgio Armani revamped the standard silhouette, embracing stretch fabrics and loose fits for fall’s collection. Accenting a familiar black and gray palette with bursts of bright blue, Armani’s man was immediately sharp, but relaxed as separates made the move between traditional and modern. While velvet pants ballooned in shape, only to fall into a tapered finish, the double-breasted jacket was at once laid-back. Altogether a seamless mix of two worlds, Giorgio Armani’s fall/winter 2012 collection turned out a phenomenal showing that pitted impeccable construction against bold design.

A Personality–Infusing everyday wear with glamour, John Richmond put on quite the show for the fall/winter 2012 season. In a world of his own, Richmond’s man hit the catwalk with the utmost style, impressing in varied garments, ranging from treated denim to luxe evening jackets. Sparing no expense, leather, fur and other fabrications accented menswear staples with the parka, duffle coat as well as other signature pieces making an appearance. Encompassing the wide spectrum of style, tees to printed jackets made a strong impact. Whether playing it low-key in a black number or drawing attention with intensive print work, John Richmond revealed a season of desired elegance.

Style on the Run–Contemporary street style meets luxe refinement in a new spread for Hercules, lensed by Giampaolo Sgura. Employing the sporty aesthetics of labels such as D&G and showcasing sharp suiting from the likes of Gucci, stylist Miguel Arnau (Motif Management) brings a duality to an impressive cast that includes d’men Simone Bredariol, Federico Cola, Samuele Visentin as well as Elia Cometi alongside Elite’s Elbio Bonsaglio, Sergio Cazzaniga and Andrea Preti. / Hair by Davide Diodovich @ VFirst Ageny Milan with makeup by Laura Stucchi @ Close Up Milan.

Richmond’s Dinner Party–Classic pinstriped suits over dragon printed tees offered a laid-back sophistication at John Richmond. Reggae and tribal were also in the air with graphic tees of the legendary Bob Marley layered under lightweight cardigans, while tattoo motifs continued to be etched onto fluorescent shirting in hues of red, orange and shocking pink. Signature dinner jackets enriched with crystals and silk trousers captured the austerity and rocker vein of the modern Richmond man.

The Workout Plan–Vivienne Westwood gets her men ready for the Summer 2012 Olympics in London with a sweat inducing regime of suiting separates and athletic-inspired apparel. From the warm up jacket to other sporty pieces, the collection circles in on practicality with a little fun spent in proportions and prints. Suited for the grandeur of an Olympian or dressed down and ready for business, Westwood executes a fine uniform for all occasions, complete with personality.

Federico Cola was discovered in the streets of Milan by Italian Francesco Scognamiglio. Introduced and signed to d’men, the rest is history in the making. Federico has made a debut splash, being photographed by Milan Vukmirovic for L’Officiel Hommes and by Giampaolo Sgura for GQ Spain.
