Reaching East–Beloved Dolce & Gabbana designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana cover the latest issue of Numéro Homme China, photographed by Tiziano Magni. At the center of a strapping boy’s fest, the creative duo are captured along Elbio Bonsaglio (Elite Milano), Nicolo Novelli (IM Studio), Paolo Roldan (WhyNot), Sergio Cazzaniga (Elite Milano), Simone Bredariol (d’men) as well as Vinicius S. (Urban) and styled by Joseph Carle.

Worker Edition–L’Uomo Elite models Andrea Preti and Elbio Bonsaglio come together again, starring in an editorial for the most recent edition of Essential Homme. Photographed by Cristina Capucci and styled by Matteo Greco, the handsome pair get their hands dirty for a shoot outdoors in utilitarian wear from labels that include Prada and Burberry Prorsum.

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.

Regal Formation–Dolce & Gabbana follows a path lined with luxe fabrications and rich accents for the fall/winter 2012 season. A mix of country romance and early turn of the century dapper sentiments, the Italian house finds a place for their D&G youth amongst a mature collection of standout pieces. Dressing up suit jackets, lapels cut out of velvet mark the season, while the gradual incorporation of gold embroidery reinforces fall’s grand theme. Overlooking no facet in the life of their debonair man, the lineup transitions from sharp outerwear and companion pieces of warm wool to a more relaxed gesture that sees Dolce & Gabbana turn to their infamous silk. Whether worn as an exquisite set of pajamas or a bold move outdoors, the regal execution is the perfect touch to a collection that spares no expense.

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.

Style on the Run–Contemporary street style meets luxe refinement in a new spread for Hercules, lensed by Giampaolo Sgura. Employing the sporty aesthetics of labels such as D&G and showcasing sharp suiting from the likes of Gucci, stylist Miguel Arnau (Motif Management) brings a duality to an impressive cast that includes d’men Simone Bredariol, Federico Cola, Samuele Visentin as well as Elia Cometi alongside Elite’s Elbio Bonsaglio, Sergio Cazzaniga and Andrea Preti. / Hair by Davide Diodovich @ VFirst Ageny Milan with makeup by Laura Stucchi @ Close Up Milan.
