The Age of Men

So the mens winter collections have battled the catwalk for the limelight and here are some of my personal favorite contenders. Some stand out collections this season for me include; Givenchy, Mugler, Alexander McQueen and Burberry. Two garments that have made their debut this season are the mens skirt/dress and the cape. Wether it be inspired by femininity, darkness or warriors everyone from Mugler to Jean Paul Gaultier and Dior are adapting the design to the male ensemble.

The above images are my personal favorite outfits and collections from this season. I love how designers are combining usually feminine garments such as the skirt but blending it with a boyish look such as Givenchy.

Capes this next winter are going to be a big thing in the mens fashion scene. Wether your a Jack the Ripper or a Roman warrior, a cape will be the new Jacket.

The skirt or man-dress, not entirely accepted by society unless you're a Scot in a kilt, but definitely a garment that will be changing the face of menswear with an almost 'masculine-ist' come back. 

Here are two pictures, one where im wearing a kilt at fashion week and one where im wearing a cape ...

The Rut

last week i again, had the pleasure of working with photographer Grant Adam (Adam-x Photography) on an interesting editorial shoot. Using my collection, 'Dead on the Sidewalk' I wanted to portray images of power inspired by the rutting period of some male animals such as deer where they battle over females. Models are myself and my brother AJ Johnstone.

Dead On The Sidewalk

 

I have finally got round to blogging the look book images of my 'mini' Resort collection 'Dead on the Sidewalk'. Inspired by films based on Frank Miller comics such as 'Sin City', 'The Spirit' and '300', I drew influence from the colours, shapes and religious undertones. Some of the garments are now available to buy online, click on the image below to visit the E-Store
