The Don of the Season–Layered in lush knits and grand outerwear, the man of Les Hommes makes his way back to the catwalk. Following a cultured getaway, color, print and volume paint an image of refinement with a daring undertone. While leather garments contribute to a modern hard streak, softness is delivered in the form of sweaters in vibrant hues. Relating the tension of fit and volume, large oversize sleeves taper for a distinct visage. Meanwhile, trousers are tapered and relaxed for the appropriate note to an eclectic collection that seamlessly juxtaposes fine suiting with charming knitwear.

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.

Nathalie–The runway beckons as the agencies prepare their show packages for the fall/winter 2012 season. Gearing up for Paris Fashion Week next month, Nathalie is out the gates with a geometric-infused presentation of their leading men. Boasting red-hot twins Jordan and Zac Stenmark amongst their ranks, Nathalie houses runway gold when it comes to well-versed models such as Tomek Szczukiecki and Douglas Neitzke. From rising blue-chip star Benjamin Eidem to honorary Hilfiger family member Francis Lane, Nathalie gears up for a distinguished season on the catwalk.

A Wet One–Nella Balda photographs Tim Meiresone for Hush magazine. Spending the last days of summer outdoors, Tim keeps things casual in effortless pieces from Armani, Bikkembergs and other labels.

Leaders of the Pack–When it comes to stars, Wilhelmina undeniably packs the most and it’s always a pleasure to see what crop the latest fashion week brings in. This season, while Clément Chabernaud and Jon Kortajarena come out on top, Wilhelmina has brought in a couple of new faces with great buzz and the work to back it up. From Luka Badnjar to Brit James Smith, New York will have some fresh new talent to liven up the runway, while easily recognizable faces like Garrett Neff and Nicolas Ripoll will be the easy finish to any runway roster.

Knitwear Fever–Reconnecting with Chauncey once more, David Sdika photographs Tim Meiresone for the Brussels-based label’s spring 2012 lookbook. Never eccentric but always modern in designs, Chauncey continues to harvest a contemporary wardrobe of elegant staples for the 21st century gentleman. As a former knitwear designer at Hermès, Salvatore Ferragamo and Jean-Paul Gaultier, Nathalie Bouhana delivers a strong lineup of high quality jumpers, cardigans and blazers in rich fabrications with precise tailoring.
