Pepe’s London–Captured in black and white, Claude Simonon, Jacob Young and Rob Moore are joined by Edie Campbell and Suki Waterhouse for Pepe Jeans’ spring/summer 2012 campaign. Styled by Jane How with photography by Alasdair McLellan, the lot take in a cool London outing clad in distressed denim, casual twill pants and other easy separates.

High Ambitions–Ready for new heights, designer Kean Etro looked to the mystical Pegasus as the starting point of his latest collection. Marrying the extravagant use of feathers to Etro’s signature prints, the rich affair brought forth quite the avid imagination. Beginning the show with eveningwear, monotone brocade gave way to not only richer prints, but feathers turned out as jackets, scarves, ties and other pieces. From the dark palette of gray and black to a sampling of the warm sun’s rays, Etro explored the color spectrum, even going as far as a fiery red. From overcoat and vest to shoes, the devil was in the details. Masterfully mixing prints and textures, the collection was presented with personality, depth and ultimately the fine qualities of the modern-day gentleman.

Exploring New Options–Casting a varied lot of characters and exploring different silhouettes and color schemes for the fall/winter 2012 season, designer Roberto Cavalli turns his attention to the future. Toning down the color within reason, outerwear takes on the dominant role in a seamless lineup of layered ensembles. A man of several identities, Cavalli’s man dons a bright-colored cape when not donning a dapper bow tie for an evening on the town. Towing the line between timeless elegance and modern expectations, the collection reviews a well-versed venture. From tailored and fitted to oversize and playful, Roberto Cavalli’s latest collection showcases the fantastical whims of a clever wardrobe with infinite room to grow.

New Madison–Dynamic easily describes the quality of New Madison’s show package for the upcoming season. An all-around who’s who when it comes to work from campaigns and editorials to the runway, quite the number of recognizable faces are on hand. From the always working Isaac Carew to the highly demanded Gerhard Freidl to stunning faces like Patrick Kafka, the agency has no issue in the star department. Rounding out the package with edgy and popular choice — Alex Dunstan, New Madison continues a fantastic streak with faces, new and old that include Alexander Johansson, Tommy Kristiansen and Joao Zavaski.

WhyNot–Making a casting director’s job less difficult, WhyNot pulls out all the stops with a consistent showing of irresistible options. As the last year has shown, David Gandy is unstoppable – racking up two major covers and continuing to play a strong suit to Dolce & Gabbana’s image. Meanwhile, there is Arthur Kulkov, a one fits all type of model and a blast to have around – followed by those standout editorial boys like Jacob Coupe and Alexander Johansson, who easily transition from the runway, walking coveted spots for labels such as Prada to fronting campaigns for a myriad of brands. From Garrett Neff to Aiden Andrews and Adam Senn, the recognizable faces are offered in plenitude and short of a world disaster, it looks like the men of WhyNot are going to have full charts.

Rob Moore was fresh on to the scene when he scored a spot in Sisley’s fall 2009 lookbook. What came to follow were editorial features and spots on the most covetable runways. He has appeared in 10 Men and Electric Youth! as well as walking for Dunhill, Missoni, Smalto and Hermés.
