God Save the King
Photographed by Cameron Krone and edited by Michael Bargo, “God Save The King” is a tribute to the dapper dandy in all of us featuring the clothes of Tom Ford worn by David Fair. The juxtaposition of African tribal scarves and necklaces with the hyper stylish well tailored formalwear of Ford is very current and cool and the photos are styled beautifully. The thematic element of the paper crown ties the project together to make one of our favorite photo editorials we’ve seen in the past few weeks.

The Town Where it Snows Editorial – Popeye Magazine
Styled by Tomoki Sukezane and snapped by Junji Hata in this October’s issue of Popeye magazine, model David Bruni shows off some powerful looks for Fall in “The Town Where It Snows”. One wonders where they dug up all these interesting new garments. The overcoat with the kiss marks all over it is crazy, the rough wool duffel coat with the fur gloves is amazing, and the classic bandleader’s jacket with brass buttons is gorgeous too. The editorial is meant to be fun and maybe a little tongue in cheek but the clothes inside of it are serious and very cool.

Steven Alan – Spring/Summer 2010 Collection Short Film
The ever innovative Steven Alan made the decision to release his Spring and Summer 2010 collection in the medium of a short film this year instead of the standard dog and pony show of New York Fashion Week and the results are gorgeous. A couple’s retreat from New York to the countryside for a weekend is the backdrop in an effort to take the looks out of the usual context of urbanity and into a setting with a much slower pace and more space to let the visuals breathe. As far as Alan’s clothes, they are straight from your parents’ photos from the 1960’s with simple plaid button ups and relaxed denim for men and sweet summer dresses and light sweaters for women. Romance and the light hearted side of life is what the collection is all about and the film expresses it beautifully.

Robert Geller Spring/Summer 2010 – Runway Video
To loud rock and roll drums, Robert Geller’s models walk down the runway looking like cold and calculated libertines spying for victims with expressionless faces. A scarf dangling from a breast pocket is a thematic element that adds dandy flair to the darkest looks of his Spring 2010 collection. There are plenty of outfits to get excited about here. The tan pants with gray jacket and fedora look is devastating. And the black and white jailhouse print slacks are standout too. Watch the video and get hype for Geller in 2010.

Patrik Ervell Spring/Summer 2010 from Dazed Digital
It’s great to see so many designers going the step further to make their collections conceptual and now we can count Patrik Ervell among them with a very interesting and inventive idea behind his Spring and Summer 2010 collection. In an effort to craft wholly American menswear, Ervell experimented with rust and oxidization, with suits and sportswear stained by rust and jean jackets and button ups washed and aged, sometimes with metal incorporated into the cloth to give a luminous sheen. The romance and decay of industrial age America may be the inspiration but there is a lot of optimism and simplicity to the collection as well.

Marc by Marc Jacobs – Spring 2010
Marc Jacobs brings the style of 80’s teen movie anti-hero Duckie who plays opposite Molly Ringwald’s character in Pretty In Pink out of the time machine and onto the runway for his Spring 2010 Marc by Marc Jacobs line proving that Marc Jacobs wears his influences on his sleeve and usually to beautiful results. The eternal feud between Jocks and Nerds plays out in photos and this time everybody wins. The colors are loud, the patterns clash, and the hair is teased out ridiculously. The striped cardigan and the knit motorcycle jacket are excellent twists on nerdy staples. Special thanks to John Hughes for giving Jacobs the thread from which to weave a little 1980’s fashion gold for us all in 2010.

Commonwealth Utilities – Spring/Summer 2010 Runway
Commonwealth Utilities debuted their Spring and Summer 2010 collection on the runway last week in a very atypical setting which sets a refreshing change of pace for the label in 2010. With the barber chairs and iconic poster covered walls of Astor Place Hair in New York as the backdrop, one can surmise Commonwealth sought to distance themselves from other upstart companies debuting new looks at NY fashion week by switching it up and appealing to the everyman on the street rather than only those interested in men’s fashion. The looks are understated but well thought out, with sparse colors and crisp silhouettes. We hope Commonwealth will continue to surprise us in seasons to come.

Man Up Editorial from WWIT
In a recent issue of WWIT photographer Zach Burns and stylists Dennis Lye and Ivie Okhions along with model Thomas Bell keep it rugged in the Fall of 2009 with leather jackets, thick knit scarves, and some very handsome overcoats. The photos are no frills and look photographed in an abandoned industrial park. Some definitely sound style choices here, and of course some great looking clothes.
