Paris Fashion Week | Blaak Homme Fall 2010
Standing out in stark black and white, the latest collection from Blaak Homme designers Sachiko Okada and Aaron Sharif turns to the church for inspiration. While the oversize rosary and crown of thorns make for controversial pieces of discussion, robe-inspired proportions take minimal design in a striking direction. Avoiding any great use of volume, a certain lightness is achieved where Okada and Sharif fashion a dynamic wardrobe that can be dressed up or down and applied to the year’s seasons at large.

Yannick Mantele

He became a favorite of photographer, Willy Vanderperre, who has shot him multiple times including once with top model Natasha Poly. Being the muse of one of the top photographers in the industries exposed Yannick to a pool of opportunity. His images have circulated in the pages of Arena Homme+, Dazed & Confused Japan as well as Visual Tales. Yannick has walked for Dunhill, Les Hommes and Dries Van Noten.
