Ian O’Brien had his breakout season in spring 2010. The fashion elites were all for Ian’s androgynous alternative look. Designers such as Versace, Rick Owens, Cerruti, Rad Hourani, Kenzo, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Paul Smith were all fans of this British lad. Before Ian could even catch his breath after a season of shows, he became the face for Marc by Marc Jacobs and Yves Saint Laurent Eyewear. He has appeared in Interview, H&M, Teen Vogue and AnOther Man.

Ready to Layer–Taking their show on the road for the upcoming fall season, Los Angeles-based label Roark showed their latest offering this past February during New York Fashion Week. With a crop of several of the industry’s best faces, Roark presented a ready to layer collection with an undeniable personality that transcends style for the season. From cashmere knits and hooded jackets with intriguing silhouettes to draped fabrics, Roark paints a somber image of city life with a twist of self-awareness.

The wardrobe of Rad by Rad Hourani’s bold modern man gets added length for the fall season.

Embracing light foundational garments and adding volume in the outerwear category, Hourani’s man is a sight to be seen in his signature heels and spectrum of strictly black.

Native Son puts tradition on an American destination course for fall’s collection entitled The Track. The Train. The Traveler. While the collection’s intent was to capture a fusion of the past, present and future, the ensembles displayed a chaotic mixing of contemporary remnants with a touch of the refined standards. Traveling a clear path save for a couple misplaced accessories, the collection’s strength was evident in tailored jackets and outerwear that struck a smart chord. / Photos by Carl Barnett (The Fashionisto)
