The Collections by Giampaolo Sgura for Hercules
Indulging the Season–Stylists David Vivirido and Miguel Arnau join forces for a collections story in the latest issue of Hercules. Enlisting an eclectic lot of boys that include Alexandre Cunha, Antonio Navas, Jamie Wise, Jordan Stenmark, Matt Woodhouse, Matthew Terry, Patrick Kafka, Peter Lissidini, Ryan Barrett, Simone Nobili, Timmi Radicke, Vladimir Ivanov and Zac Stenmark, styles from Versace, Givenchy and more are captured by the lens of Hercules regular Giampaolo Sgura.
Givenchy Fall/Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week
American Splendor–Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci looked to the stars and stripes to dress his uniform for the season. Minotaurs tamed, Givenchy’s men paraded down the runway with decorated hoop in nose. From somber black ensembles, dressed with a version of the American flag to skirts and knits adorned with stars, the season’s theme came loud and strong. Revisiting past collections and borrowing their standout pieces, ranging from leggings to boots, the new factor was limited, but embellishment in full effect. Embracing an earthy brown, Givenchy toiled with mosaic prints when not running its gamble through red, blue and white. Encrusted with studs, sequins and stars, the convergence of sharp tailoring and sportswear was at once the same Givenchy of recent memory that has dominated the hiphop landscape.
Mugler Fall/Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week
Changing Agenda–Treading closer to the conservative rulebook, Mugler takes a more streamlined approach to the fall/winter 2012 season. Gravitating towards the suit as the collection’s core base, a better aptitude for wearable garments is executed but a bold spirit still remains. Cast in black, burgundy and midnight blue, the man of Mugler is placed at a crossroads. While several jackets, capes and other fine items show a hand at tailoring and fine fit, others tend to mask substance with style. With silk and worked fabrications making their debut and dissecting designs, Mugler is at once a foot forward with interest, but a mixed signal when arriving at a cohesive union of style, construction and intent.
Dsquared² Fall/Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week
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.
Corneliani Fall/Winter 2012 | Milan Fashion Week
The Great Tailor–Kicking off Milan Fashion Week, Corneliani takes to the runway with a sea of somber gray, navy and a hint of winter white. Fusing voluminous billowing silhouettes with a knack for tailoring, classics come across with a laid-back sartorial essence. From outerwear with oversize lapels to a cape, trimmed with fur or a cardigan tied at the waist, the Corneliani man possesses an undeniable elegance, fused with a certain practicality. Whether it’s a coordinated suit or sweater and pleated trousers, the Italian label furnishes an aesthetic that masters the ideal balance of purpose and style. Rounding out sharp two-button suits, double-breasted coats and lush knits with a strong suit in textures, Corneliani presents a season, marrying tradition to a relaxed modern attitude.
Milano Style — Outside the Frankie Morello Casting
Welcomed Sighting–Before the kickoff of fashion week, photographer Sara Cimino captures a round of models outside Frankie Morello’s fall/winter 2012 casting. From laid-back to spruced up, favorites, new and old were abound, ranging from Francisco Lachowski and Hans Hatt to Sebastian Sauve.
