Backpage Boys–The Un-Titled Project is back with their fourth issue and landing back covers for the new edition are Miles McMillan and Ton Heukels. The long-haired gents are photographed respectively by Dennis Golonka and Leon Mark with styling by Romina Herrera Malatesta and Hanna Kelifa.

The Marni Mix–L’uomo Elite model Ton Heukels heads to the studio for photo session with Lorenzo Marcucci. Enlisted for a look at H&M’s recent collaboration with Marni, Ton is styled by Riccardo Slavik, who mixes prints and proportions for a fun look at the spring range.

Scholarly Days–Dsquared² designers Dan and Dean Caten send their boys back to school for the fall/winter 2012 season. Bringing smarts to their signature staples, loosely slung denim was paired with light layers consisting of leather jackets, sweatshirts, button-downs and sweater vests. Accessorized with newsboy hats, duffels and backpacks, the season’s theme was a no-brainer. From goody two shoes prep to the sartorial bad boy, Dsquared² packed an easy punch with a relaxed wardrobe that eventually transitioned into more polished garments. Still applying their own handiwork to eveningwear, denim and sequins collided for a cheeky finish.

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.

Urban Rock–Designer John Varvatos spins a tale of the streets and rock for the fall/winter 2012 season. Embodying a certain harshness in comparison to last season’s romantic laments, Varvatos taps into an element of youth. Bringing together garments in an almost reckless fashion, the mood is relaxed and the results more exciting. While laceless boots barely come to a close, oversize outerwear in various hues of gray bring comfort to knits as well as other pieces, tattered and stained. Featuring a wardrobe that possesses the potential to be both tidy and fantastically disheveled, John Varvatos dismisses the aspect of age for a collection that evolves with a little smarts.

L’uomo Elite–Romance is in the air when it comes to preparation for Milano’s shows. L’uomo Elite casts a dreamy mood with a sepia-hued show package for the season. Quite fitting for a selection of models, who it appears were born to be photographed, Elite’s board shines with a certain freshness. In between client favorites such as Tomek Szczukiecki and Tobias Sorensen, the agency beams with fast rising up and comers that include Miles McMillan as well as Jamie Wise. From the classic runway figure, cue Christian Ochsenfahrt to a little rebellion, calling Daniel Bamdad, Elite has their bases covered with phenomenal faces and just the right attitude.
