BLINK–In photographer and cinematographer Christian Oita’s latest project, we follow a red laser at the hands of Next model Jonatan Frenk as he dons black leather pieces as styled by Ingo Nahrwold and strums a guitar in this 90’s inspired film.

Edge on the Western Front–Lending their layered cool a fresh new edge, Nicholas K visited the west for the inspiration of their fall/winter 2012 collection. Crafting their own Man of Black, but sure to include their signature penchant for fleshed out neutrals, a tough exterior was brought forth with strong outerwear. Structured and lined, the shining moment to many an ensemble, coats were weaved in as the perfect companion to a wide array of knitwear. While a couple of pieces were loosely draped with toggles, more traditional pieces offered bouts of classic menswear for the highly accessible wardrobe. Treated with cowl necks and accessorized with leather holsters as well as hats, Nicholas K’s latest collection debuted with an impressive charm that saw the brand demonstrating the elasticity of their welcomed aim at a consistent aesthetic that marries function to style.

Indoor Sanctity–Jonatan Frenk stars in a casual story for the latest edition of Attitude, which sees the Next model retreating indoors for a quiet session with photographer Christian Oita. Wearing a mix of leather and lace, the brooding sensation is styled by Ingo Nahrwold.

Raw Elegance–Making the move to Milan for their Italian debut, Diesel Black Gold returned to the clean-cut path, lending classic standbys a youthful edge. Bringing together garments with unfinished hems, thick cable knit sweaters and pleated trousers, a variety of pieces were revealed for a new wardrobe of unlikely companions. Dressing jacket and vest combos in vertical stripes and including the biker jacket as a welcomed addition, Diesel Black Gold brought their vision full circle with a portrayal of timeless elegance, modified for today’s generation.

New Era–Taking over the reigns of Trussardi, designer Umit Benan finds the season’s inspiration in British racing driver Jackie Stewart. Translating nostalgia into a contemporary collection, sharp dressing and a cool sentiment are married for individual pieces that steal a moment with ease. Bringing color to the forefront in rich autumn hues, a chic layering of shirting reveals luxe turtlenecks, fitted shirting with collars flipped and a return to the distinguished waistcoat as part of an impeccable suit.
