Featured in more than a handful of campaigns for 2009, Jon Kortajarena became the quientessential staple without wearing out his welcome. Whether accompanied by a leading lady or left to his own devices, Jon turned out several memorable campaigns working with everyone from Diesel and Brian Atwood to Tom Ford. Transitioning from model to actor, next up for Jon is a role in Ford’s debut film A Single Man.

As seasons quickly come and go, we are quick to move on to the new collections and editorials that follow without much thought for what is left behind, so this month, we will attempt to capture the past year with a wide range of categories. First up, we have the fall 2009 collection of Missoni. In an often disappointing sea of black and gray, Angela Missoni added a certain playfulness to the somber mood with a spirited mixing of prints and textures, but unfortunately her knits did make too many editorial appearances this season. However, with the intense sales season looming, hopefully a Missoni knit or two will be picked up at a steal for next year’s wardrobe.

UK-based retailer Liberty turns to English model Callum Wilson and stylist Robbie Spencer to showcase their fall offerings. Photographed by Ben Toms, the studio shoot always manages to demonstrate an element of the modern dandy, whether it is in a bold necktie or in the subtly of a floral trim.


Sporting his usual beard and long hair, Will Lewis is no stranger to being cast as the hippie, but what we typically do not see is his sense of humor. Like everyone else, he has his serious moments, but altogether, he’s “a rather goofy guy, and [he’d] bet the photos that capture the real [him often] end up on the editor’s floor and the photographer’s website more often than [his] model face shots…” Fortunately for us, Will was cast in Diesel’s recent fall campaign photographed by Jason Nocito. In and out of his clothes, Will had no problem seamlessly fitting into Diesel’s provocative aesthetic and if his photos happen to be “a bit extra, [you] can blame [him] as much as them.”

Creating his third collection for Topman, designer Antony Price models his latest fall range after the dandy. Nostalgic, but also aware of this season’s trends, PRICELESS by Antony Price embraces pleats and a military motif. From silk neck ties to the military coat and wool trousers, the collection finds both the vulnerability and strength in garments that are more formal, while still retaining the ability to be dressed down for everyday wear.
