Lucky Blue Smith Introduces KITH x Versace Menswear

Leave a reply

While the collection debuted during last NYFW, Kith x Versace has just released its first campaign starring supermodels Lucky Blue Smith and Bella Hadid (who is featured in its women’s campaign). Both models have worked with each designer before, and this collaboration marks the first large-scale luxury partnership for the New York-based streetwear label and Versace’s first mass collaboration since it worked with H&M back in 2011.

Items from the collection combine the signature opulence of Versace (including the brand’s classic colors, silhouettes, and loud prints) with Kith’s unique city edge, resulting in over 100 styles. The men’s collection includes outerwear (including camel hair topcoats and velour puffer jackets), formalwear (silk blazers), sportswear, accessories, and footwear. The collection also marks the first time in history that the quintessential Medusa logo has been redesigned.

KITH x Versace will be available online on February 15th, and at KITH and Versace flagship stores worldwide.

Weekly Instagram Roundup: BVLGARI, Neil Barrett, and More

Leave a reply

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.

BVLGARI

Italy’s own Giulio Berruti, the rising actor, posed alongside the fashion elite at BVLGARI‘s Fall/Winter 2017 Fashion Week event. Gracing the hallowed halls of BVLGARI Hotel Milan, the event kept it all in the family, with those in attendance witnessing Bella Hadid’s crowning moment as the new face of the brand’s accessory line.

Neil Barrett

The British-born designer embraced his brand’s Italian roots for Neil Barrett‘s Spring/Summer 2017 campaign. Shot in Venice by Scott Trindle, starring Keiron Haynes and Swann, the prints feature the geometric identity seen in the brand’s previous runway, the images a breezy look at the architectural triumph, the Nordic Pavilion.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences

Shine your shoes and get your themed cocktails ready, the cumulation of Oscar season is finally here. In the LA heat, outside the Dolby Theatre, the red carpet has officially been rolled out—the flashy holy ground for everyone from “Nocturnal Animal“‘s and ESSENTIAL HOMME August/September 2015′s Michael Shannon to “Arrival”-snub Amy Adams. If there’s any hope against a complete “La La Land” shutout at the Jimmy Kimmel-hosted event only time will tell.

Kris Van Assche

Dior Homme Artistic Director Kris Van Assche took us behind the runway for a look at the French brand’s new season. After a macabre Autumn/Winter 2017 runway at Paris Fashion Week, as well as the New Wave Spring/Summer 2017 campaign, it would appear that Van Assche is looking at a more demure taste, shown here on model Dylan Roques.

Lucky Blue Smith

Insta-model and runway pro Lucky Blue Smith jumps from one ad campaign, Tommy Hilfiger Denim, to the next with the recently announced H&M Loves Coachella collection. Debuting in March, the California-drenched pieces are modeled by Smith’s family band, The Atomics—the sun-streaked image a predecessor to an upcoming video in conjunction with both the line and Coachella’s rocker vibe.

Tommy Hilfiger Denim Spring/Summer 2017 Campaign Video

Leave a reply

Video: Tommy Hilfiger Denim.

Tommy Hilfiger Denim nods to ‘70s motifs and preppy classics in its Spring/Summer 2017 campaign, a video and photography series that reflects the energy of the label and the versatility of the collection’s namesake material. Starring Anwar Hadid, Sofia Richie, and Lucky Blue Smith—the brand-favorite model who most recently appeared in Hilfiger Denim’s Autumn/Winter 2016 campaign—the new range plays with linear patterns and patchwork, all featured in the line’s signature white, blue, and red color scheme. The sun-drenched and youthful Downtown Los Angeles aesthetic provides a snapshot of the changing face of the brand, evident in its recent Tommyland installation in Venice Beach, featuring Anwar’s sister Gigi Hadid. Through these ventures, the commonalities between youth, California, and culture can be seen as the new heart of the classic label, a sentiment honored in the campaign’s closing statement: “Live Love LA.”

Hilfiger Denim is available online now.
