Da Man的Style Fall/Winter 2019目录

Over the past couple of years or so, complaining about the ubiquity of athleisure has become probably the biggest trend in fashion. And this season—for better or worse—we see that brands and designers also think that the pervasiveness of sporty influences in fashion has overstayed its welcome a bit. In its place has come a new appreciation for suits, tailoring and structure. This is definitely a welcome change, not the least because it has sparked many great fashion houses to really show just how creative they can be within the confines of more rigid frameworks. Speaking of designers and brands, another highlight in this issue of DAMAN Style is the way Indonesian designers are becoming increasingly recognized on a global stage. From commercial and creative collaborations to dedicated shows exhibiting…

DSQUARED2 ABSOLUTELY INSTAGRAMABLE Dsquared2’s fall/winter 2019/20 underwear campaign is inspired by chiseled Instagram influencers. Devin Truss, who’s known as a fitness model, becomes the new face for the brand’s print campaign for this season. Meanwhile, August Gonet, Diego Villarreal and Matt van de Sande starred as models for the accompanying video campaign that was designed to look like Instagram Stories. Wrapping things up, Alessio Pozzi and Elliot Meeten appeared in Dsquared2’s editorial campaign for its underwear selections this fall/winter. LOUIS VUITTON VIRTUAL REALITY Under the direction of Virgil Abloh, Louis Vuitton takes its campaign menswear to a retro futuristic landscape with the help of the creative photographer Kenta Cobayashi’s and his normative digital tracing effect. Cobayashi is a Japanese photographer based in Shibuya, Tokyo, and is known for his mesmerizing…

Today, London Fashion Week and London Fashion Week Men’s—or LFWM for short—has established itself as one of the most creative and innovative fashion showcases in the world. Perhaps this should come as no surprise, what with London being one of the most multicultural, vibrant and diverse cities among the rest of the fashion capitals. From emerging designers to heritage labels and internationally recognized fashion houses to independent boutiques, there really is no place like London. For this year’s fall/winter season, the runways of London were awash with deeper background stories, utilitarian designs, patterns, tailoring and myriad variations of outerwear. With that in mind, one of the highlights is none other than Burberry and their own Chief Creative Officer, Riccardo Tisci, telling its story for the season. Titled “Tempest,” the collection…

Andrea Pompilio grew up in an environment full of art. His father was an architect, his mother a painter, and his grandmother a boutique owner. For himself, after studying fashion at art school—his childhood dream was to become a fashion designer—in Pesaro and at the Istituto Marangoni in Milan, Pompilio built up his résumé working with well-known brands in Milan, New York, Paris before revealing his own signature brand in autumn/winter 2011. It was in January of 2013 at Pitti Uomo that Pompilio started a collaboration with Japanese footwear brand Onitsuka Tiger, introducing an iconic sneaker, only to then design—each season—the “Onitsuka Tiger x Andrea Pompilio” capsule collection. This complete ready-to-wear proposition includes everything from footwear to apparel and accessories. Fast forward to 2019, the Italian-born designer has become the…

Four years ago, we sat down for a chat with Ba’i Soemarlono and Joe Lim, the creative brains behind POPULO Batik, about elevating batik to a global scale—to bring batik to, as the ancient Romans would say, the populo. This year, as the brand celebrates its 25th anniversary, its message goes beyond the uplift of tradition and focuses on inclusivity and sustainability. This is a tale of a brand with a mission, as told by Soemarlono to DA MAN. DAMAN: We last had the opportunity to really chat with you back in 2015. Can you share with us some of the highlights in your work since then? Ba’i Soemarlono: As you might remember, POPULO Batik’s focus has always been to work on an international level. We wanted to bring Indonesian…

Years after his leap into the fashion industry, John Halls has proven to be a notable model. With his signature bearded look and his naturally stylish moves, he continues to charm the industry through various editorials, campaigns and runways. He exudes confidence everywhere he goes and that particular trait is really hard to pass. For those of you still unfamiliar with him, Halls was a pro soccer player and at one time played for one of the biggest clubs in England, Arsenal. He retired in 2012 after an injury and never looked back. Moments before taking home the “International Model of the Year” at this year’s DA MAN Party, we sat down with the British model and talked about his modeling ventures. DAMAN: Hi, John. Awesome to have you with…

1 WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL PRINT PIECES CAN WORK FOR EVERYDAY WEAR? Animal print has been given quite a boost this season. Outerwear or sweaters are perhaps the easiest—and most universally acceptable—options for this family of patterns. Or shoes. The leopard print tasseled loafers from Celine’s fall 2019 is arguably one of the must-have items this season. Leopard print, by the way, is a rather neutral pattern that can compliment most skin tones and works well with most colors. It’s a versatile print that’s more interesting than, say, camouflage or even floral. But, this is the kind of look that needs to be laid out beforehand if you really want to impress. 2 WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AMERICAN, ITALIAN AND BRITISH SUITS? Every man needs a suit—perhaps more than…

Although the first fashion week was held in New York, the name of the event itself is derived from the French phrase défilés de mode, which literally means “fashion parades” and refers to the ones that were held in Paris couture salons. Way before they were all organized into one big event, fashion shows were held in the City of Light as early as the 1700s: Designers would put their designs on mannequins for the clients to see and purchase. It was that simple. But now? It’s not just about showcasing designs for buyers to see. No, it’s all about the exposure, the who’s who at the front row, who walked down the runway, collaborations and live streams on various social media platforms. It’s a jungle out there and we…

Change in fashion industry, as they say, is inevitable. From trends to the designers and the collections, all will change with the seasons. Naturally, change is also happening in New York City, including at New York Fashion Week: Men’s. Historically, New York Fashion Week: Men’s was launched in 2015 to provide an inclusive and supportive platform dedicated to emerging and established menswear designers. Since then, it has become a separate entity to New York Fashion Week and evolved its own identity. And then things changed again. Starting this fall/winter season, both fashion weeks were combined into one, with menswear and womenswear runway shows overlapping. On the downside, several big names were notably absent. Still, amid all of these shifts, New York Fashion Week: Men’s and New York Fashion Week hasn’t…

The fact is, as a brand, John Hardy is, first and foremost, all about creating artisanal handcrafted jewelry that would last a lifetime. Since it was established back in 1975, the company also takes pride in the values of community, artisanship and sustainability—long before other brands started considering these important matters. John Hardy’s iconic bracelets and necklaces are still handmade by artisans in Bali, not only because of the extraordinary skill of the artisans, but also to help the community thrive. Polly Purser is the Director of Heritage at John Hardy, a role that she has held for five years now. Growing up in Bali, she immersed herself in the island’s culture and fell in love with the brand, the craftsmanship and its philosophy. She started her career in the…

Look up “Trevor Drury” on the web and you’ll find a ton of info about his music, news about his latest singles and links to music videos as well as his songs on Spotify, Soundcloud and other online platforms. Take a quick peek at Drury’s Instagram photos, though, and it becomes instantly apparent that he’s a pro model. And for sure, he has worked with quite a few big names in the fashion industry such as Hermès and Tom Ford. That being said, it’s quite apparent that his heart lies in music, where he has just opened a new and exciting chapter. DAMAN: Hi, Trevor. Awesome to have you with us. Not too long ago, you released a new single, “Chapter 4.” First of all, congratulations! Can you tell us…

There’s never a shortage of people who will—at the drop of a hat—passionately debate the merits and demerits of the global fashion capitals. But, of course, nobody debates as passionate as the Italians, right? Non-PC jokes poking fun at national stereotypes aside, Milan’s fashion scene has always had this distinct and uniquely Italian passion to it. And this vibrant energy has always accompanied every iteration of Milan Fashion Week, from the build-up prior to the shows, the runway events themselves and the aftermath that follows. Gucci would be a good case in point. When Milan Fashion Week fall/winter 2019/20 opened, the brand was still feeling the backlash of having taken the wrong step in today’s global cultural minefield. The show it presented however, was unmistakably Gucci: costume jewelry and oversized…
