Summer Preview–With an easy stream of images coming to mind at the sound of the word ethereal as our catalyst this issue, we approached the latest edition with a dual purpose – capture those interesting collection moments that deserved attention, whether it was the subtle Mugler that is overshadowed by the more flamboyant or a fantastic bold print at Louis Vuitton while also leaving room for our first love – the editorial. Culminating in a fusion of the two styles, our summer issue came together with a great sampling of the season. / To celebrate our upcoming issue, use the code SUBSCRIBE at checkout & get 20% off an annual subscription (4 Issues) or PREORDER the summer issue here at 25% OFF.

The Art of Racing–Brazilian race car driver Ayrton Senna served as the muse of designer Thom Browne’s latest collection for Moncler Gamme Bleu. Lending his quirky creations a new dimension, yellow, red and white dressed an entertaining wardrobe, fit for the spectator. Starting the show with padded jumpsuits and moving towards shrunken tailored garments, cheerful suiting separates championed Browne’s race car driver. Eventually arriving at his signature palette of gray and navy, volume-induced jackets, long coats as well as layered cold-weather essentials completed another season of fun for the beloved designer.

Apocalypse Now–Emporio Armani gravitates towards the darker side of fall with a somber hued showing for the new season. Mixing a retro attitude with Armani’s brand of modern, a laid-back wardrobe of essentials come together with an array of arresting accessories for plenty a piece to entice the stylish. Donning an oversize beret tipped to the side or a hooded scarf, the man of Emporio Armani calls attention to an empowered lineup that explores various silhouettes and cuts, while also propelling the timelessness of staples like the pinstriped suit.

Excess to Light–Frankie Morello takes their man on a journey for the fall/winter 2012 season. Showing the latest collection in three different stages, a moment of excess represents hectic city life, complete with materialism. Richly adorned, tapered suiting sets the ground work for an exploration of self, translated into subtle gradients followed by exotic prints. Paired with charming boots, a more casual wardrobe emerges as shorts, shirting and lightweight jackets make a bold move against the season cool. Evolving into the utmost stage of simplicity, colors and prints eventually give way to a more quiet dimension, illustrating the season’s final canvas.
