BEYOND THE PAGES
THE ABSTRACT ISSUE.
This is Beyond Man, the bi-monthly, online publication
dedicated to presenting innovative and explosive men' s fashion
' from men in fashion: from Belfast & Beyond' .
The last twelve months have been mind-blowing and it is with
the greatest pleasure that I present to you our fourth digital
volume of 2014 entitled ' The Abstract Issue' , taking on all
things creative, all things colourful, all things avant garde
and all things artistic. Pushing contemporary menswear through
haunting aesthetics, club scene styling, independent designers,
theatrical in-your-face streetwear and the hedonistic/bohemian
opulence of the natural world.
First up we have our cover shoot ANONYMOUS, from one of
Northern Ireland' s leading male fashion photographer' s Mr Lee
Mitchell. Featuring the androgynous and porcelain skinned
Stephen Edgar of Distinct Model Management donning a handful of
Marie-Claire Ferguson' s unique and spectacular millinery, worn
as masks to pretty much cover his wonderful face the entire
time. Sorry Stephen. Don' t feel bad folks, Stephen' s a Beyond
Man alumni, his face has had enough coverage.
In our second editorial CLUB KIDZ, we move from the studio to
the world of hypnotic dance tracks in some enchanting club
scene apparel mixed with an edgy and youthful take on the
partywear trends. Shot by fashion photographer & club snapper
extraordinaire Simon Crawford on location in one of Belfast' s
newest on-trend clubbing hotspots, known simply as BOOMBOX!
Then we come to possibly one of our most exciting and
proudest achievements of 2K14, the launch of our very own
unisex capsule collection entitled FAUXIALITE. Inspired by
those who know fashion, who live by fashion and aren' t the
celebrity style culture fanboys and fangirls who understand
j ack shit. A collection for the models, for the bloggers, for
the photographers and the die-hard front rowers. Captured
perfectly by BigBad Llama, an avid independent label wearer
from head to toe, shooting CMPR' s latest signing Aoife Malone
(blogger, model & garment customiser) alongside new face John
McDowell to produce a creative story of confidence and style
arrogance. #Fauxialite.
Speaking of creatives, we also have not one but two
phenomenal editorials from super stylist Jamie Russell on
another Lee Mitchell assist for the psychedelic SHINE,
complete with PVA glitter glue ensembles, glitter infused
hair spray and glitter soaked facials. Closing with WHERE THE
WILD THINGS ARE, as the prestigious and esteemed Glenn
Norwood of Norwood Photography brings Jamie' s ' haute culture'
bespoke, couture floral garments to life with the help of
London Collections model Gary Talbot and Pray for Paris
postergirl Nerissa Moore.
Basically The Abstract Issue is all about the artistic
photography and the stylists/designers/photographers who help
create it. Special thanks must also go out to the incredibly
inspiring Jonathan McKelvey of Uber Hair who manufactures the
art of hair on every occassion and celebrated MUA' s Rebecca
Bryson & Tippy Logronio for their flawless talents.
