Weekly Instagram Roundup: Sean O’Pry, Philipp Plein, 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.

Sean O’Pry

The world’s highest paid male model showed exactly why he holds that title with a new portrait by photographer Chris Colls – showing off his Massimo Dutti jacket, no doubt a parting gift for starring in the brand’s Autumn/Winter 2016 campaign.

Philipp Plein

After serving up a Spring/Summer 2017 sportswear collection that validates the collection’s “first rule, no rules” tag, German designer Philipp Plein brings his eponymous brand’s savage sports line to cities worldwide – the global rollout beginning with Milan, Paris, and Amsterdam.

Luc Besson

Visionary director Luc Besson spent over seven years writing his latest sci-fi epic “Valerian,” and the first trailer does not disappoint. Starring Prada Resort 2017 charmer Dane DeHaan, alongside designer-muse and model Cara Delevigne, the film is an explosive playground replete with aliens, rocket ships, and yes, even Rihanna.

Versace

Two fashion icons, photographer Bruce Weber and Donatella herself, team for Versace‘s latest men’s campaign of passionate masculinity. Highlighting real-world men alongside Weber’s particular model favorites, the new images mark the first time in 17 years the duo has worked creatively side-by-side.

Riccardo Tisci

Givenchy Artistic Director Riccardo Tisci re-teams with NikeLab, after redefining training earlier this year, for a new shoe of dramatic flair. The NikeLab Air Zoom Legend x RT is a look to the future with a color palette of pastel purity.

Brioni

ESSENTIAL HOMME August/September 2015 cover star Michael Shannon kicked off this year’s heated award show circuit with the HFPA celebration of the 2017 Golden Globe season. Decked out in a bespoke navy checked mohair suit from Brioni, the brand’s recent restructuring shows itself in this mashup of new design and classic construction.

Tom Ford Makes Dramatic Return to Film with Nocturnal Animals

Leave a reply

Video: Focus Features.

One of the buzziest films to show at TIFF this year, Nocturnal Animals is the bleak, sensually gritty drama you’ve been waiting for. Written and directed by sartorial savant Tom Ford, Nocturnal Animals, his first film since the critical darling A Single Man in 2009, follows the tumultuous world of an art gallery owner, Amy Adams, and her ex-husband, Jake Gyllenhaal, as he releases a violent thriller novel dedicated in her vengeful honor. Part art-house think piece, part gut-wrenching psycho-drama, the film is a daring choice for Ford, whose previous work he dubbed one of his most personal creative efforts – one that earned him a place in the halls of Tinseltown’s most visually enticing and aesthetically engrossing directors.

Starring alongside Adams and Gyllenhaal are a slew of glittering Hollywood names, including ESSENTIAL HOMME August/September 2015 cover star Michael Shannon as Detective Bobby Andes – an officer with thinly veiled motives, as well as film favorites Isla Fisher, Laura Linney, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival and based on the divisive novel “Tony and Susan” by Austin Wright, Nocturnal Animals is a Hitchcockian, psycho-sexual foray into a razor-sharp world filled to the brim with skeptical mistrust, serrated unease, and, in true Tom Ford fashion, wonderfully decadent wardrobing.

Nocturnal Animals is scheduled to release in theaters November 18, 2016.

Prada’s Latest Campaign Channels the New Wave

Always striving towards artistic originality, Prada dives into the New Wave essence in its newly launched Fall/Winter 2015 Uomo campaign. Captured by British photographer Craig McDean, the campaign offers a black and white film and a series of photos featuring cinema’s biggest leading men right now—Scoot McNairy of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” “Gone Girl,” and “12 Years a Slave”; Michael Shannon of “Man of Steel,” “Take Shelter,” and “Revolutionary Road”; and Tye Sheridan of “Mud,” “The Tree of Life,” and “X-Men: Apocalypse.” In an almost disconcerting space of grey vacuum, the actors move spontaneously side by side the rhythm of the music in the video. There is neither a fixed narrative nor a linear progression: it is simply McNairy, Shannon, and Sheridan stripped of artifice. The kind of austere and sober aesthetics in the campaign reflects the utilitarian and industrial ethos embedded in the collection composed of elegant, clean outlines with details suggestive of uniforms.
