Soul Artist Management–Making a strong impression this season with not only a lineup of top requested faces, Soul Artist Management turns to the lens of Julian Schratter aka Through Jules Lens for a candid look at their boys. From Lowell Tautchin and Simon Nessman to River Viiperi or Sebastian Sauve, the ace is in the hole when booking time comes, but let’s not leave out recent budding signs like Christopher Michaut or Tom Barker.

Spring in Suits–WWD/Menswear fashion editor Alex Badia keeps a foot ahead of the pack with a focus on spring 2012 suiting for a September style update.

Fragments of the 70’s have once again come alive on the runway, and the latest member to the club this season is none other than John Richmond. As luxe as usual, but relatively reserved for the label, fall’s collection mixes fur, glitz and sheen for a rich new outing. Besides an attempt at casual wear with tees boasting the likes of Marilyn Manson, the label excels with its fitted suiting, semi-enlarged lapels and smooth silhouettes that appear to have a life of their own.

I Love Models Management is indeed true to their name, housing a plethora of the industry’s best talents.

Meanwhile, runway regulars, ranging from Robbie Wadge and Philipp Bierbaum to Gerhard Freidl are sure to heat up the catwalk alongside the ever popular Luke Worrall.

Ryan Koning is best known for his American looks and charm. He has worked with fashion photographer Steven Klein on numerous occasions, including W and Vogue Hommes Japan, the latter of which he graced the cover. He became the face of Ralph Lauren Rugby, Y-3, Doho, Brooks Brothers and American Eagle. His career really soared when he opened Roberto Cavalli during the Spring/Summer 2010 season. Ryan also served six years in the Army Reserve and was deployed to Iraq in October 2005.
