Indice dei contenuti per June - July 2021 in Da Man

Throughout the years, the DA MAN team has featured new and established stars from Hollywood, fresh talents and senior performers from Indonesia’s own movie industry, along with a slew of fashion designers, creative directors and other artistic headliners from the world of fashion. But one thing that I think sets this publication apart, is the appreciation we reserve for the models that appear in everything from our fashion spreads, watch highlights and even grooming stories. The world of professional male models is full of stories—stories of lucky breaks and breakthroughs, stories of extreme physical challenges and profound anxiety, stories of inspiring creative streaks and stoic professionalism. In short, there is so much more to modeling than just a handsome face or toned physique, and there are so many stories—both inspiring…

Perfect Summer DSQUARED2 serves up some nostalgia with its new retrothemed campaign, where the brand highlights its beachwear lines. Photographer Christian Oita was enlisted to capture the season’s looks. He links up with creative director Giovanni Bianco to capture DSQUARED2’s summer adonises. Cast in the spotlight, models Dean Perona and Christos Katsavochristos come together in picture-perfect form with the beach as their backdrop as they inspire in DSQUARED2-centric swimwear. Artificial light mimics the sun’s rays as Dean and Christos showcase must-have swimwear pieces for this year’s summer. Pop Aesthetic Hyper-colored and hyperreal, Dior’s men’s collection for fall 2021 is revealed in a series of captivating images infused with the acidic vitality of Kenny Scharf’s world. Brightly colored pieces signed by Artistic Director Kim Jones in collaboration with the American painter…

When we hear the word “diet,” oftentimes our minds think of a passing fad or some sort of trendy experiment of eliminating general food groups for shortterm goals such as weight loss. “Diet” implies restrictions, limitations and a one-size-fits-all mentality. And then we have the exact opposite of this approach in Ayurveda. Before we get into this ever-popular method, let’s back up a bit. Ayurveda, which comes from the ancient Vedic texts, is in fact, not a diet—especially not in the sense that we use the word today. It’s more of a natural healing science that originated in India more than 5,000 years ago. The word “Ayurveda” is a combination of two Sanskrit words that mean life (Ayur) and science (Veda). The literal translation of Ayurveda is therefore “the science…

There’s a wellknown line by American rock band Journey—“Don’t stop believin’, hold on to that feelin’”—that really fits Refal Hady’s journey. I first met Refal Hady for DA MAN’s 11th anniversary issue and found him to be a fun and casual guy. But, before we continue, a short recap might be useful here. Before Hady made his movie debut back in 2017’s “Galih & Ratna” and then went on to play in “Susah Sinyal” and “Dilan 1990,” he actually had quite an eventful life, to say the least. This down-to-earth guy was formerly a model, a host for MNC lifestyle and even spent a lot of time working behind-the-scenes. At the time, Hady mentioned that it wasn’t until he got casted as Galih when it all suddenly became real. “It…

Early 2020 was, in hindsight, definitely not the best time to start a career in the fashion industry. Of course, nobody knew back then just how bad it was going to be. So, it was with high hopes and expectations that Troy Neff signed up with STATE Management—a wellestablished modeling agency—in Los Angeles. And right after that, the world simply shut down. Fast forward half a year, however, and things took a surprising turn for the better when he was selected to be part of none other than Tom Ford’s spring/summer 2021 campaign and joined a shoot with the legendary designer himself. That certainly makes for an amazing origin story. DAMAN: Hi, Troy. Awesome to have you with us. How are you doing these days? Troy Neff: I’m doing great!…

Cartier watches are characterized by the timeless shapes of the Maison’s watchmaking repertoire. One of them is none other than the legendary Santos de Cartier. Back in 1904, Louis Cartier made watchmaking history when he created the first modern watch specifically designed to be worn on the wrist. Specially made for famous Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, the design of the Santos watch was based on the concept of form, a taste for minimalism, precision of proportions and an eye for detail. In a way, the Santos was truly revolutionary due to the fact that it was designed during the age of round pocket watches. The Santos de Cartier watch comes with a square or straight shape, rounded corners, seamless curve of horns that converged towards the strap and exposed screws.…

For the coming fall/winter season, a color palette inspired by the colors of the earth takes center stage as a dominant element on the menswear runways.

Take a glance at the seasonal offerings from Lanvin, Hed Mayner, Fendi and Acne Studios for inspiration and ideas in layering sandy tones, or even how to pick matching pieces when you want to go the full monochrome route.…

Youthful Edge Alexander McQueen’s menswear fall/winter 2021 collection is a continued focus on silhouette, bold volumes and clean lines, along with saturated color and papercut prints. Creative Director Sarah Burton describes that the designs that she oversaw for the collection in terms of silhouette and depth, emphasizing a restrained approach that puts form over facade. Spliced oddities complemented the youthful edge iterated by the pervasive whiff of sportiness. Paper cut prints delivered additional flair, transforming coats, shirts, sweaters and tracksuit with imagery drawn from the label’s heritage—especially the dove and skull imagery—and playfully skewed. A Classic Shape Although it is part of Louis Vuitton pre-fall 2021 collection, the Distorted Damier denim jacket is inspired by the spring/summer 2021 show. The piece celebrates the house’s new Distorted Damier signature. Reproduced as…

Growing up in Hong Kong, according to British actor Gavin Stenhouse, shaped the way he approaches life and for that, he wouldn’t change it for the world. At one time, his acting teacher at drama school said that he needed to get rid of his Eastern ways—which made him realize just how lucky he was to have experienced living in Asia. Then Stenhouse moved to England and attended Guildhall School of Music and Drama where he met incredible teachers who taught him everything about acting and the ancient history of acting, a subject that has always fascinated him. DAMAN: Hi, Gavin. Thank you for making the time to answer our questions. How are you doing? Gavin Stenhouse: I’m doing great, thank you so much for asking! DA: Obviously, we’ve been extremely…

Acid Drop Not to be mistaken for neon colors, pops of acid hues were shown on many of the runways in London, Paris and Milan. From rich pigments of lemon yellow, traffic cone orange to electric green and cherry red, this summer is looking fresh, optimistic and colorful. Take, for example, the creations from Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Fendi and Etro, where the popping colors were predominantly seen and are definitely here to stay. White Side Big fashion houses the likes of Fendi, Prada, Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen and Givenchy are employing all-white hues and purist lines for a clean slate this season. And while pulling off an all-white can be risky, it’s one of the best style moves you can make. Take a hint from Givenchy, Fendi, Prada or Louis…

Shave It Right For some of us, shaving is just a regular, day-to-day activity that simply needs to be done. But actually, much like having a proper skincare regimen, it pays to get shaving done right. It all begins with timing, and understanding how shaving help exfoliate the skin to keep it looking fresh. Proper preparation—including picking the right tools and supporting products—are also game-changers. One more thing to look out for is understanding skin types. That being said, there are also some pretty universal tips when it comes to proper shaving. To ensure a smoother shave, starting right after a hot shower helps, as the heat opens up the pores and softens coarse hairs. Lastly, aftershave treatment can’t be skipped, not just to moisturize the skin, but also to…

HAPPIER THAN EVER Billie Eilish Building up on the momentum gained by Billie Eilish’s multi-Grammy Award, record-breaking debut album “When We All Go To Sleep, Where Do We Go?,” her highly anticipated sophomore album—titled “Happier Than Ever”—features no outside songwriters or producers, and was written by 19-year-old Eilish and her brother Finneas who produced the album in Los Angeles. The 16-track studio album itself is filled with a lot of stories. In “Your Power,” she recounts an abusive relationship and how it affected her. Still, Eilish expresses her hope that this song can spark change and reflection. That being said, Eilish continues to shatter the ceiling of music with her genre-defying sound. MCCARTNEY III IMAGINED Paul McCartney Personally curated by Paul McCartney himself, “McCartney III Imagined” continues the tradition of…

Getting and staying fit is not exactly a super-complex endeavor, but there’s a lot of things that you can tweak to get the most of every workout session. One element that can have quite a big impact on your gains is the way you structure your workouts. Now, obviously, there are a gazillion ways when it comes to structuring workouts, especially when you consider equipment availability or preference, the types of exercises you like to do or feel good about, your current fitness level and your current fitness goals and so on and so forth. And far be it from any of us to judge one workout regimen to be superior or inferior from other sets, but if you happen to be interested in a way to mix things up…

Kim Jones continues to inspire creative dialogues with pioneering personalities from the world of contemporary art for Dior Men’s collections. And for the maison’s Fall 2021 collection, the artistic director has chosen American artist Kenny Scharf, who is known for his inimitable graffiti and fantastical paintings of anthropomorphic and imagined creatures. Influenced by Scharf’s hypnotic work and poised between utopianism and cosmic travel, Kim Jones started a whole collection with luminous vitality. Several paintings from Scharf, such as “Viva Mare Viva Mar,” “When The Worlds Collide” and “Globo Mundo” have been given a new medium by Jones. These works now live through the collection, along with special technical treatments. In this special interview, DA MAN chats with the renowned artistic director about the collaboration, the collection and more. DAMAN: HI, MR.…
