dna DNA Fall/Winter 2012 Show Package

DNA–Impres­sive to say the least, no face goes unno­ticed when it comes to DNA’s choice of boys for each fash­ion week. At the top of their ranks for this com­ing fash­ion week are Miles McMil­lan and Alexan­dre Cunha. While Miles is com­ing into his own with cam­paigns begin­ning to fol­low his suc­cess on the run­way, Brazil­ian model Alexan­dre is hav­ing quite the blue chip sea­son that will no doubt fol­low him on to the cat­walk. Mean­while, new faces Alex Ham­mond and Chris Petersen will no likely stand out with cham­pi­oned tal­ents Bas­ti­aan Van Gaalen, Alexan­der Beck and others.

ports Ports 1961 Fall/Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

Play­ing Shapes–Ports 1961 design­ers Fiona Cibani and Ian Hyl­ton pull together a metic­u­lous col­lec­tion focus­ing on sharp lines, con­struc­tion and vary­ing pro­por­tions. Cast in a somber gray palette, the label’s lead­ing man lives up to the clas­sic image of Sav­ille Row. Don­ning double-​​breasted suits and clad in out­er­wear, cut with a min­i­mal­ist hand, Ports 1961’s gen­tle­man embraces a smooth sea­son that plays tai­lored tra­di­tion against play­ful explo­ration. From nar­row, well-​​framed jack­ets to a final roundup of volu­mi­nous coats, Ports 1961 intro­duces a sea­son of func­tion and spon­tane­ity for a mod­est success.

iceberg Iceberg Fall/Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

Style Syn­ergy–Ital­ian label Ice­berg calls upon heavy knits for a sea­son where the mood is light and the atti­tude laid-​​back. Don­ning relaxed trousers, the men of Ice­berg strolled down the cat­walk, lay­ered in light­weight knits and out­er­wear. From lush speck­led sweaters to chunky over­size cardi­gans, the label show­cased a sea­son of con­ve­nience. Inter­change­able in every sense, the col­lec­tion car­ried the same ease from casual day­wear to more pol­ished wears, fur­nished from leather and fin­ished with a tuxedo.

leshommes Les Hommes Fall/Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week

The Don of the Sea­son–Lay­ered in lush knits and grand out­er­wear, the man of Les Hommes makes his way back to the cat­walk. Fol­low­ing a cul­tured get­away, color, print and vol­ume paint an image of refine­ment with a dar­ing under­tone. While leather gar­ments con­tribute to a mod­ern hard streak, soft­ness is deliv­ered in the form of sweaters in vibrant hues. Relat­ing the ten­sion of fit and vol­ume, large over­size sleeves taper for a dis­tinct vis­age. Mean­while, trousers are tapered and relaxed for the appro­pri­ate note to an eclec­tic col­lec­tion that seam­lessly jux­ta­poses fine suit­ing with charm­ing knitwear.

day2 Jean Luc’s Casting Call Diaries | Paris Fashion Week – Day 2

Boys, Boys, Boys–For my sec­ond day of this new exclu­sive ‘Cast­ing Call Diaries’ series for The Fash­ion­isto, I chased mod­els across Paris from Hauss­mann build­ings by the Chi­cis­sime Avenue Mon­taigne and Avenue de L’Opéra to some more indus­trial photo stu­dios in more pop­u­lar dis­tricts; out of a slightly ambi­tious pro­gram of eight cast­ings I man­aged to cover six : Dior Homme, Mugler, Louis Vuit­ton, Arnys, Yohji Yamamoto and Alexis Mabille … This jour­ney proved to be pretty intense behind the cam­era due to the amount of mod­els who would never miss giv­ing it a chance at cast­ings for such major shows even if they have to carry an umbrella, but granted me to pin to my list of daily tro­phies the likes of Yuri Pleskun, ris­ing star Bap­stiste Radufe, Nico­las Ripoll, Matvey Lykov, Dou­glas Neitzke, Lyle Lod­wick, Corey Bap­tiste, Paul Boche, Vic­tor Nylan­der, Alexan­der Johans­son, Juan Manuel Aran­cibia, Alexan­der Beck, Julien Chanca etc, some newer faces such as Andrea Bel­lis­ario, Timmi Radicke, Julius Ger­hardt, Jay or Noma Han for instance and even the fresh­est first timers you can imag­ine : Jus­tus Eis­feld (who doesn’t even have a paris agency yet) or Isaac Ekblad (who came to Paris to visit his fam­ily and was only dis­cov­ered today by an agency scout as he was walk­ing in the street !) … Also snapped were design­ers Romain Kre­mer (Mugler) and Alexis Mabille … check this space for more to come very soon !
