FATHERDUCK London SS14

FATHERDUCK LONDON SS14

I had the opportunity to work once more with t-shirt brand FATHERDUCK London to style the lookbook for their SS14 capsule collection.  Again Jake Rosenberg of the Coveteur was on board as photographer.  This time around the brand wanted a more athletic mood to the lookbook so I paired the duck inspired tee's with mesh track pants and shorts and threw in some gear like elbow pads, whistles and mouth guards to reference sportswear.  Another fun shoot and it sounds like this collection will be available through Topman so keep your eyes peeled.

Lines are blurring between men's & women's fashion and stigmas on what men can and cannot wear are lessening. The 80's saw very masculine silhouettes incorporated into womenswear and nowadays the opposite is happening somewhat for men. Feminine shapes and materials such as fur are being used more and more in menswear and more men are shopping in the women's section (hello bryanboy), buying everything from bags and platform boots to accessories and denim.


This rabbit fur coat is a beautiful example of how a man can wear a woman's jacket and still keep a masculine quality. Dressed up with a crisp, small collared white shirt, a vintage cummerbund and some patent leather loafers, this W10,000 ($10 US) flea market find creates a luxurious winter look.


The multi-layered silver chain which I reformed by adding the feather & the shiny denim are also slightly feminine but they are rock and roll enough to keep this outfit from becoming too girly overall.
