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. ”
