Michael Whittaker had a breakout season in fall 2010 when he walked for Raf Simons, Dior Homme, Frankie Morello, Wooyoungmi, Richard Chai and Duckie Brown, amongst others. He continued the success after walking off the runway and straight into editorials for FHM Collections Germany, AnOther Man, VMAN, 160g, Crash, GQ China and L’Officiel Hommes Germany. Michael has been the face of Nom de Guerre and Opening Ceremony.

In the Still of the Day–A gorgeous day in New York City prompted a shoot of the moment with DNA model Michael Whittaker. Captured by the lens of Brent Chua before heading back home to New Zealand, Michael stole a few for a sequence of shots styled by Kita Updike, using the garments of Coleman Elliot.

Little House of Horrors–Gather a high voltage chair, a splash of the macabre and the American sportsman and you have Thom Browne’s latest creation. Stuffed into Browne’s little gray suit, a steroid-induced man appeared with bulging shoulders against a petite alter ego, infused with punk. While sweaters, cut from mohair made for a giant-sized impression, studs and safety pins decorated seams and hems. Injecting the varsity jacket with volume, classic standbys were treated to a whimsical retreat into the dark corners of Browne’s creative genius. Juxtaposed with mid-riff baring tops and garments in watermelon green and pink, the idea of classic menswear was torn to shreds and presented as Thom Browne’s latest fantasy, in some aspects wearable but at large a stirring gesture to sit back and take in.
Big Come Down–Inspired by the works of New Zealand artist Karl Maughan, Michael Whittaker is enlisted for Stolen Girlfriends Club’s spring 2012 collection’s garden party of print and colors. Exploring the hyper surrealistic realm of the artist, the fantastical elements of Maughan’s work are translated onto an explosion of tank tops, oversize tees and color blocked shorts. Much softer and slicker than past collections, the rock’n'roll label ventures into tailored territories with slim cut shirting, while also maintaining their signature edge undertone with skinny jeans, denim vests and raw finishing.
