Beyond Man: Volume Three

BEYOND MAN

VOLUME THREE SEPTEMBER 201 4.

BEYOND THE PAGESEvolution is defined as a process of growth, formation or development. In

biology it refers to the change in the gene pool of a population from

generation to generation by natural selection or mutation. In fashion terms

however, evolution means something else entirely.

Designers create life in their work and with it they hope to advance and

progress the efforts of their previous collections, constructing something

further or additional. Something fresh, unique and something…more. None of

this can be achieved without looking back at what has come before, in both

historical sense and the designer’ s integral world of imagination.

In our opening editorial ATLANTIS LANDING, we look to the future of design

with the selected works of local graduate collections. Incorporating

elements of alien and oceanic life forms, textural peculiar fabrics and

other-worldly, avant garde styling as visual creative Jamie Russell pushes

the boundaries of the age old question of life on other planets and how

water is the crucial factor in securing an answer.

Like I said, we can’ t always simply look to what the future may hold.

Teaming up with the newly opened DR. MARTENS store right here in Belfast we

showcase the history and evolution of the punk movement in STAND FOR

SOMETHING. Street style goers, fashinistas, bloggers and photographers alike

are all partial to a pair of Docs these days. Just one example of how a

trend can move and develop over time from social economics right onto the

highstreet.

We’ ve also teamed up with Instagram fashion illustrator Jake Ofrasio who has

taken six of our own statement editorial images from our first two issues

and created mixed media alternatives in the form of his own exciting and

colourful fashion drawings.

There’ s also more throwbacks to the punk era, found in the Derry based RoCo

Man 2015 shoot, shot by prestigious London fashion photographer David Vail.

Taking on blunt cuts and the odd bit of silver hair to capture RoCo’ s unique

styles for the year ahead.

Of course one crucial aspect of the aesthetics of evolution is the

‘survival of the fittest’ concept. Found in MOMENTUM. An athletic,

sports luxe inspired editorial featuring fifteen year old CMPR signing

Cameron Kelly and new kid on the block Marc Neill who likes to colour

his hair and take selfies. A lot.

I can’ t talk about evolution in the world of fashion and not mention

tailoring, suiting and all things formalwear. It wouldn’ t be right.

Enter Dublin based fashion photographer Aaron Hurley’ s lookbook for the

then unfinished works of the National Tailoring Academy and the

students’ cutting edge designs. All from the Diploma of Bespoke Fashion

Tailoring. Basically the next generation of Savile Row.

Finally we close with POLYCHROMASIA in which the multicoloured, acid

trip hair from hair stylist Jonathan McKelvey of Uber Hair Belfast,

breathes new life into the world of eccentric and statement streetwear.

Backed by a trio of models, confined to a terraced house, shot by

Mitchell Cahoon, PC displays menswear in a brand new light and that

light is most definitely not black and white.

So go ahead guys. What are you waiting for? Enjoy Beyond Man: Vol. 3 and

I will now leave you with a simple quote from Richard Dawkins. “You

can' t even begin to understand biology, you can' t understand life,

unless you understand what it' s all there for, how it arose - and that

means evolution. ”
