Details, Ring Jacket SS16
I shoot two cameras in the studio to account for two eyes. And multiple personalities.

PJ Linen
Still thinking about linen for summer.... love this color PJ wears... more from this quick soho shoot here if you're interested.
Patrick Johnson in NYC
Relaxed casual summer suiting made easy by PJT. NYC Showroom now open for appointments.
Every time i'm shooting for PJ i'm find myself wanting cotton suits in every shade they offer. It's a problem.
Tux Week: Texture Plus
I know it's Monday but Tux Week is still going. Throwback to the little fishing island of Ischia, off the coast of Italy, with Zeph in a super textured Eidos tux jacket. 7 different colors in this cloth. Love it.
Love it so much I made a blazer in the same cloth after this shoot.
Tux Week: Don Drapey
Completely unstructured, hidden closure double breasted dinner jacket made from an off white basket weave wool, with trousers in a midnight wool grosgrain. Have you ever seen something so drapey, light & unstructured yet so beautifully fitted? P Johnson pushing it for the Woolmark Prize.
Tux Week
Curation is a big part of my job, so here on the blog without a specific client it's a nice exercise to curate sideways across multiple jobs. Henceforth this coming week will be Tux Week. Until I started sifting the archives I didn't realize how many great tux concepts I'd shot in the last few years, not even counting the real weddings.

Ghurka Trousers
I'd never seen anything like them... Ghurka suit trousers - basically a beautifully crafted cross over strap system, originally useful for British officers losing weight - these ones made by Rubinacci.
(Styled by Marcus Malmborg, for Plaza Uomo Magazine, thanks to the Rubinacci store in Naples. )
Couldn't help but notice Ring Jacket's linen ghurka shorts coming this spring too...
So now you know. . .
One Light Portraits : Christian Kimber
100% genuine, like the leather on his sneakers.
Christian Kimber // 50mm, ISO 100, f1.6, 1/200
SIDE NOTE // nice to see the belted EIDOS cardigan out and about on a few people this season. So luxē. No longer reserved for slow saturday mornings inside.
One Light Portraits: Alex Restivo
Unplanned, we utilized a nice black painted wall in the back of the EIDOS showroom to punch out a few portraits and details after the show. The black comes up a rich indigo tone. Octobank firing as low as it would go, 50mm wide open (some of these hit 1.2)...
I'll share some over the next few days, starting with my friend Mr Alex Restivo.

SIDE NOTE // I've been shooting a lot of people wearing Stòffa recently and love it -- suede shoots so well, in color or black and white. Such a great texture to wear or to shoot. I also feel like suede has a bad wrap for being 'fancy'... but more and more it's becoming so much easier to dress down with brands like Eidos and Stoffa. Sure, you should care about it to a certain extent but you also need to wear it. And not care too much. It's tougher than you think.

Eidos AW Lookbook 2016
In a mad 30min rush before the Eidos presentation yesterday, we managed to punch out the AW16 lookbook. Great to see familiar faces popping up each season. Full look book will be on www.eidosnapoli.com soon... until then, a few favorites...
