Absolute Ash

Absolute Man
Balmain Homme
The First Collection

Huge Magazine
Photographer: Satoshi Sakurai
Stylist: Tsuyochi Noguchi
Model: Ash Stymest

This editorial has been doing the rounds all week, but it is definitely worth a repost. Whilst I still cannot shake the whispers of Hedi from the back from of my mind, I find this shoot quite simply stunning. The ladies may have Balmainia, but I am excited to see what may be in store for the gents...

Currently playing: Run This Town ft. Kanye West & Rihanna - Jay Z

I adore Ash Stymest...he's actually in a band with a friend of a friend who I've met a few times...he is an extremelyyy versatile model and I'm excited to see what is to come for him!
I do hope you're doing well, darling. I missed you!

FabBlab said...

The reason Ash draws you to his pictures is because he's so intense. These are brilliant.

When I first saw this ad I thought HEDI SLIMANE HEDI SLIMANE HEDI SLIMANE...I was a little surprised (and disappointed because I am anxiously awaiting his ever-elusive collection)to find out that Balmain is behind it, but the looks are great! I love the mix of edge, sophistication and tailoring. Noguchi did an amazing job styling the looks. I can't wait to see more! I wonder how Christophe Decarnin will evolve menswear at Balmain.

Oh. My. Gosh.

All I can say is that this editorial, from the photography, to the model, to the styling, is perfection, period. I've never before seen one focusing on men's fashion done so impeccably!

layia said...

Ruta said...

these are awesome. just so woahhh. i can't even express how much i love these.

Cait said...

were we suppose to be looking at the jeans? He reminds me of the tough kid from the Chocolate war movie who got all the kids in his neighborhood to beat up Gerry Renault because he told them he was gay.

ellie said...

He's such a rocker!

simon n josh said...

Thanks for the note. Oh, I watched L change the world. He's so good..but this is for all those L fans, I suppose..I still want to know what kind of jeans he wore in that movie. Even hunched over, he can really make these jeans the best.

the oaks said...

That model is stunning. and those clothes makes me a lot more exited than those for the ladies.

Rice Candy said...

These are freaking awesome. There's so much energy present and a sense of- paused speed. Also love the fearless posing from the model+ the hair, totally awesome, and the B&W well.. that just adds that special visual sprinkle.

Good post!!
