Weekly Instagram Roundup: Tom Ford, Kris Van Assche, and More

This week’s complete social snapshot, distilled for your pleasure.

From the hottest celebrity parties to the regretful morning-after shots, ESSENTIAL HOMME‘s Weekly Instagram Roundup brings all of the hottest designer, model, and trendsetting pics from the week directly to you. After all, no one has time to scroll through anything but the best.

Tom Ford

Though the designer/director missed out on gold, Tom Ford‘s supporting man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, took home Best Performance by a Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture — Drama for Nocturnal Animals at this year’s Golden Globe awards. Decked out in a look by the designer himself, the film marks the second project by Ford to hit the big screen and his first time being recognized by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for his work.

Christian Williams

Model Christian Williams captured the riotous energy that Sibling London brought to the London Fashion Week Men’s runway, the brand debuting a knitwear (what else?) line of deep navy and burning maroon. The collection itself is a fervent attempt to reclaim the union jack and reinvent a coveted English punk vibe through loud and unexpected detailing.

Ed Skrein

Unconcerned with his film Deadpool’s Golden Globes engagement in America, actor Ed Skrein returned to his homeland for London Collections Men’s and Belstaff‘s impressive Autumn/Winter 2017 showing. The brand, inspired by the British Navy for a dual offering of both men’s and women’s lines, debuted a ’60s-inspired collection with minor embellishments for a classic feel in execution and scope.

Kris Van Assche

Dior Creative Director Kris Van Assche saturated his Instagram feed with the French brand’s high-brow Summer 2017 campaign prints. Starring the likes of Rami Malek, Boy George, and A$AP Rocky, a recent favorite of the designer, the images were shot by photographer Willy Vanderperre and usher in a darker, austere vibe for the fashion house.

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast

Don’t miss the latest look at ESSENTIAL HOMME October/November 2016 cover star Luke Evans’s villainous turn in the upcoming “Beauty and the Beast” from Disney. The previous trailer shattering viewing records, this sneak peek, debuting during the 2017 Golden Globes Award telecast, features a first listen of the film’s lead, Emma Watson, singing and the pitchfork wielding villagers that Evans leads with his staple collected control.

You’ve gone backstage, and followed all our favorite looks on Instagram. Show tunes? Oh right, check, you did that. But just in case anything might have slipped through the cracks, here we recap our favorite snaps from London Collections: Mens Spring/Summer 2017.

Phoebe English

In her first menswear presentation, luxury designer Phoebe English translates her attention to construction and textile choice for a capsule collection that offers a fresh take on minimalism.

Xander Zhou

Xander Zhou presents a recklessly diverse collection that includes witty plays on the baggy-pant-exposed-boxer combo and the destroyed sneaker, echoing a design sentiment that is ever-tip-toeing the line between street and high-fashion.

YMC

YMC’s latest effort exudes easy cool, with matching sets in breezy fabrics and contrasting patterns that make for purposeful but uncomplicated outfits.

Edward Crutchley

Making functional look fashionable, Lou Dalton‘s re-imagines staples like the rain coat and bomber jacket fitting for summer.

Belstaff

Belstaff’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection embodies the style of the American road movie, conjuring up images of Marlon Brando and Steve McQueen as clear inspirations with leather motorcycle jackets and tunics.

Katie Eary

Katie Eary brings stars and stripes (and barracudas) to the mix, just in time for the Fourth, with a focused color-palette and debatably summer-appropriate textiles.

Hardy Aimes

Continuing its tradition of stream-lined, timeless shapes, this time Hardy Amies presents fresh linens and bright checks perfect for the season.
