Dior Homme – Summer 2016 by Willy Vanderperre
Belgian artist Rinus Van de Velde and musician Oliver Sim, star in Dior Homme‘s smoldering Summer 2016 campaign, collaboration between Creative Director Kris Van Assche and noted photographer Willy Vanderperre for the tenth time, the project subverts the rules of traditional masculinity with creative newness.
In this season’s campaign the Dior man metamorphoses into Dior men — charismatic and distinctly individual, they playfully subvert the rules of masculine dress while at the same time upholding its traditions,” Van Assche said.
The campaign features singer and lyricist Oliver Sim, actor Alain-Fabien Delon, artist Rinus Van de Velde and model Victor Nylander, who essentially play versions of themselves in the still images and accompanying film, “Stranger in a Room.” The film is named after a song of the same title by Jamie xx that also features the vocals of his xx bandmate, Sim
Van Assche said the men are all dressed in pieces from the summer collection “that feels in keeping with their individual characters — something they might well wear themselves.”

Gucci Spring Summer 2016 campaign
Gucci travels to Europe, Berlin for its Spring Summer 2016 campaign, taking inspiration from the visual language and aesthetic of German ‘80s pop culture.
Photographed by Glen Luchford with Alessandro Michele’s creative instinct ,the urban setting of artistic and brutalist city from rooftops to warehouse clubs provides a raw backdrop to a carefree and hedonistic tale, echoing the spirit and decadence in its clothing and accessories for the season.
We glimpse Polina Oganicheva, Peyton Knight, Elizabeth Moore, Nicole Atieno, Mia Gruenwald, Anka Kurydina, Viola Podkopaeva in a powder room, together, mirrors creating dynamic and bold effects, the use of reflection suggesting a feeling of after-dark intimacy, while the interaction between the protagonists suggests a strong, unheard script. There is a dreamy, surreal atmosphere at play too, epitomized by a shot of a model on a skateboard holding a peacock.
