Menswear and editorial is at the top of its game. With so many great collections, stylist & creatives, its no wonder that competition is momentarily so high.
But sometimes its not about the greatest creatives, background & imagery as Nicola Formichetti shows us in his latest shoot with Allen Taylor.
For this shoot Nicola has stripped it back, the majority of the photos are black & white but through selective styling & a keen eye for detail Formichetti’s picture pack a heavy weight punch.
Allen’s image ties in remarkably with the styling. Interesting combinations of haunting gothic sheik made up of heavy leather layers, reptilian skins & crucifixes. Folded scarves add on as a great headwear accessory – Eye patches & headbands. I kind of wish my head is 2” inches wider to right ‘VOGUE’ on the back… (I once went to have 2pac shaved in my head! Not the same).
Through to ‘chav’ (Chav is a British word for yob) sportswear range, gold sovereigns ring, gold chains, gold head detail it’s all there giving the looks a sort of “Sheik council” vibe (if that’s possible!). Caps & rain jacket pullovers complete the look.
Hermés, Versace & other designers all feature in the shoot, which is for Vogue Hommes Japan.
Amazing shoot. I love it, always love Nicola’s work. Always leaves me satisfied until the next time!
