Antonella Graef was photographed by Steven Chu to appear in this editorial entitled "Opening Act". Chu chose Antonella for the shoot as a way to congratulate her for opening the Givenchy Spring/Summer 2010 show. The simplicity of this editorial is what makes it stand out. I also love the fact that the majority of the shots are in black and white.
Anna Selezneva was photographed by Richard Bush and styled by Sarah Richardson for an editorial entitled "Eco Warrior" which appears in the Fall 2009 issue of i-D magazine. The editorial spreads across 10 pages and shows Anna posing against a rocky landscape styled in a number of avant-garde pieces. I really enjoyed the styling and the location of this editorial. Usually Anna is styled as a good girl or on a runway but this is a good look for her, it shows her edgier side. I also love this editorial because it features a few of my favorite Fall/Winter 2009 pieces. The thigh-high Prada boots (in the third image), the over-sized Y-3 coat (in the fourth image), the Diesel Black Gold jeans (in the fifth image), the Dsquared2 Jacket (in the sixth image) and the Marc Jacobs jacket (in the last image)
Photographed by Chad Pitman, Martha Hunt and Daria Pleggenkuhle are transformed into androgynous females and males for an editorial entitled Transformers which appears in the Fall/Winter 2009 issue of GQ Style UK. This editorial really proves that both Daria and Martha are very versatile and have striking looks while playing as either gender.
Founded by Lucho A. Bolivar, this label is entitled Bolivares. Incorporating timeless style, while still working to maintain relevance and a contemporary attitude. Hand-made in Peru, Bolivares uses a traditional color palette, artisan motifs and colors that better represent his own Latin heritage. I really like the sweaters in this collection. They look very warm but also do not look extremely heavy. I'm looking forward to seeing more knitwear from Bolivares.
Photographed by Alasdair McLellan and styled by Nicola Formichetti, Ed Westwick of Gossip Girl appears on the cover of Arena Homme+'s Fall 2009/Spring 2010 issue. The issue is dedicated to the legacy of Ray Petri (1948-1989), a major influential figure in men’s fashion.
Photographed by Joachim Mueller-Ruchholtz and styled by Anders Sølvsten Thomsen, Nicolas Ripoll is featured in this editorial entitled "Light Of the Morning" which appears in the Contributing Editor Magazine. This styling of this editorial has a very light and airy feel thanks to designers like Acne, Tom Ford, American Apparel, Uniqlo, Simon Travers-Spencer, B-Boy, Nike, Alexander McQueen, J.W. Anderson, Jasper Singhai Chadprajong, Shaun Samson and Vivienne Westwood. My favorite looks are the look on the title page, the looks in the second row and the look with the Simon Travers-Spencer jumpsuit which is tied around Nicholas's waist.
Photographed by Matthias Vriens-McGrath, Josh Harnett appears on the cover of the Fall/Winter 2009 issue of GQ Style Germany. I always love when magazine covers are beauty shots (shoulders up) because it catches your attention more than the covers showing full bodies. The simple covers make you want to pick up the magazine and look within.
I don't think I can express enough my love for Naomi Campbell. In my eyes, she is the Supermodel of the world and it is no suprise that every editorial, runway or campaign she is a part of is a success. This time, Naomi was photographed by Karl Lagerfeld for an editorial entitled "Naomi :: Stranger In Moscow" that appears in V Magazine's September 2009 issue.
Photographed by Karim Sadli, Clément Chabernaud appears in the Balmain Homme Fall/Winter 2009 ad campaign. Balmain is one of my favorite designers so of course I love this campaign. However, I feel that more garments and accessories should have been shown. "The Absolute Man" editorial I have previously posted shows more pieces from the Balmain Homme collection if you are interested.
