MASCULIN, FÉMININ


An abandoned house in an English suburb serves as the setting for our latest online exclusive fashion feature, a study of the season’s menswear that takes the recent turn towards androgyny in a darker, more romantic direction. Photographer Andrew Vowles and stylist Jason Hughes mix clean-lined suiting with lace and frills to offer a new perspective on the possibilities of playing across traditional gender boundaries. New faces Jonas Boons, Boyd Gates, and Aleksandr Gordeev exude a quiet, contemplative attitude as they bring a strong, masculine force to their outfits, which mix textures, fabrics, and proportions—from Burberry’s lace jacket and Gucci’s pleated collars to Dior Homme’s argyle vest and Raf Simons’s cropped skinny trousers. The result is a look that is both hard and soft, powerful and gentle, all at the same time.
