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.

Bed Fellows–As any Dolce & Gabbana number is, the designing duo turn out a grand feature for the latest issue of Antidote, collaborating with photographer Giampaolo Sgura. All shoes, underwear and plenty of smiles, Dolce & Gabbana’s favorite boys get together for an outing in between the sheets: Adam Senn, Arthur Kulkov, Corey Baptiste, Guy Robinson, Jae Yoo, Justin Halley, Noah Mills, Paolo Anchisi, Sam Way, Sam Webb, Sebastian Lund, Tim Ruger and Travis Bland. / Hair by Guido with makeup by Pat McGrath.

Fall Frenzy–Featuring a host of labels including Phillip Lim, Kris Van Assche and Alexander McQueen, GQ Russia’s fall issue is packed with fashion from the season’s favorites. Enlisting AJ Abualrub, Mitch Norris, Pete Bolton and Tim Ruger, the energized foursome keeps it lighthearted with the occasional straight face in ensembles outfitted by Ekaterina Melnikova, while Doug Inglish captures the action.

The Test of Time–Building up stars with a certain sustainability, VNY heads into the spring season with established models such as Sean O’Pry and Lenz Von Johnston leading the pack, while a bright young roster that includes Corey Baptiste and Malthe Lund Madsen continues to burn bright. Filling any openings with fresh new talents like Jack Vanderhart and Simon van Meervenne, VNY may just continue the streak of the it boy.

In My Solemn–Moody and cool, Tim Ruger is photographed by Walker Brockington for the sophomore issue of VAGA magazine. Styled for an easy outing, Tim is outfitted by Fernando Lahoz in knits and light outerwear. / Grooming by Daniella (Workgroup LTD).
