Models.com shares with us the campaign DNA deprived us of…kidding! Styled by David Bradshaw and photographed by David Sims, Calvin Klein’s new star Will Defiel has some huge shoes to fill…as in those of AJ Abualrub. After shedding his platinum look and thirty pounds, the young model took Milan and Paris by storm appearing in shows for all the heavy hitters including Yves Saint Laurent, Versace and Neil Barrett.




DNA Models is a tease. They just posted preview images from a couple upcoming fall campaigns: Ryan Taylor photographed by David Sims for United Colors of Benetton, Marcel Castenmiller photographed by Mario Sorrenti for Kenzo and Will Defiel photographed by David Sims for Calvin Klein.

Youthful and spunky, Farhi by Nicole Farhi is like the little brother you never had. This fall, Farhi takes on the classics with a modest injection of rich autumn based colors like red and green. Not too wide and definitely not slim, Farhi delivers a streamlined collection with a consumer friendly silhouette. Smart and current, this is a collection anyone can wear. Cozy knits, corduroys and staple-ready outerwear are the perfect addition to any wardrobe come this fall.

Featuring models Moritz Meyer, Marko Brozic, Isaac Carew and Rory Torrens, the latest collection from London based design duo Chris & Tibor was shot by famed photographer Kai Z Feng. The fall collection titled, “The Krays Meet Teddy Boys” is inspired by the notorious Kray twins who became infamous during the 1960s as part of London’s “swinging” scene. Amateur boxers turned crime leaders, the duo became celebrities in their own right by virtue of their chain of nightclubs. With the Krays as muse, Chris & Tibor have turned out a cutting-edge collection of prairie, dot and patent leather bags that embrace a color palette of black, blue, red and gray. Moving outside the typical, Chris & Tibor also utilize oiled birth feather fabrics as well as rave hi-fi techno film materials. The result is a selection of bags so luxe, it should be a crime.

Founded in 1989, British designer Nicole Farhi is celebrating the twentieth year anniversary of her label. Farhi like many other designers had started out with womenswear before branching out to include menswear. Reflecting on her beginnings, Farhi expressed that she “was designing women’s clothes that had a masculine touch.” It only made sense for the next step to be a venture in menswear, so the following year she did just that opening a men’s store in Floral Street, Covent Garden. Celebrating this achievement, this fall’s collection inspired by the Japanese design aesthetic boasts a range of limited edition pieces that are meant to reflect the story of Nicole Farhi as a label. Each representing a special occasion, the garments will be embroidered with the number twenty in gold and “Nicole Farhi Menswear” in black.

Last week we previewed the upcoming fall collection from Oliver Spencer and now we have the full lookbook available. It’s light towers and a day at sea for model Joe Moreline.
