Weekly Instagram Roundup: Sean O’Pry, Thom Browne, 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.

Sean O’Pry

Male model Sean O’Pry shared a red carpet smirk from one of the City of Lights’ brightest nights, the Vogue Paris Foundation Gala. Known as the place for fashion elite to really let go, O’Pry arrived as part of Olivier Rousteing’s Balmain Army, wearing pieces from the French house’s Autumn/Winter 2017 collection.

Nicola Formichetti

Diesel Creative Director Nicola Formichetti shared a first look at the Italian brand’s latest shoe release, the SKBSneaker. Available in seven electric colors, the kicks’ knit-uppers and flexible soles allow for fashion and footwear tech to blend seamlessly—the announcement arriving on the heels of Diesel’s new sun-safe eyewear, residing within a similar technological capacity.

Thom Browne

American designer Thom Browne shed the heavy wool blacks and grays of his Autumn/Winter 2017 line to celebrate July 4th in style. Hoping to wish followers a happy independence, tattooed model Simon Kotyk donned a red, white, and blue one piece, complete with snapping, marine bag, to showcase patriotism at its most overt.

Salvatore Ferragamo

Salvatore Ferragamo flexed its devious side with a look at its latest scent, La Commedia, as part of its Tuscan Soul Quintessential Collection. A unisex fragrance, the Spring release is inspired by the harrowing works of Dante, named for his “Divine Comedy” narrative, and features the assumed fiery passion one would expect of the collection’s eighth iteration.

Zayn

After debuting his ZAYN x VERSUS line alongside Versace, the former 1D member took to Instagram to showcase a scrapbooked peek at ways to rock his namesake collection. Featuring a skateboarding home video, the looks feed into the punk vibe of the line’s Greg Harris-shot campaign, featuring model Bella Hadid—ZXV proving to be a young rebel’s latest uniform.

Zayn x Versus Versace Release Capsule Collection

Zayn continues his close partnership alongside designer Donatella Versace with a new ZAYN X VERSUS capsule collection under the Versus Versace heading. Mixing athleticism and function, the dual men’s and women’s release molds together the rough-and-tumble image of the “Pillowtalk” crooner with the sleek and refined vision of the Italian house. Bomber jackets, parkas, and sweat tops bear the markings of the line with ZXV and Versus patches dotting the black/green/wine colored pieces, providing a stark attention to detail through the hardened ephemeral. A continuation of the same punk rock vibe of the pair’s previous outing, the line is supported by a Greg Harris-shot campaign, starring the singer himself alongside model Bella Hadid.

Versus Versace Spring/Summer 2017 Campaign

Versus Versace descends into the revealing underbelly of pop-culture’s most hounded relationship with a new Zayn-starring Spring/Summer 2017 campaign. Shot by Gigi Hadid, the former One Direction member’s real life flame and model-of-the-moment, the images are an honest peek at the celebrity couple’s lifestyle, Hadid’s camera-front role substituted here by model Adwoa Aboah. A visually dark departure for both—Hadid the apple of every Versace boy’s eye in her Dylan Blue campaign, Zayn serving his best smolder in his recent Giuseppe Zanotti prints—the images cement the power couple as a fashion mainstay. Though the singer’s dual-gender collaboration under the brand doesn’t drop until June 2017, the campaign is a telling look at what’s to come—a punk rock rebellion whose “all black everything” vibe feeds into a raw #versusuncensored messaging.
