Graham Tabor

        Just a quick one today (50th post!), but these images were way too badass to not share.
        Graham Tabor is a NY-based up and coming clothing designer who takes a very interesting approach to his collection, relating it to an archaeological dig "each fragment separate from the rest, almost veiling its origin", and referring to the wearers as warriors. Both statements are entirely just, as his designs look like they have endured battle, with strategically placed slashes, tangles, and bandaged feet. His collection, enhanced by the efforts of an entire collaborative team (photography- Miguel Villalobos, accessories- Kristin Victoria Barron, hair- Chinatsu Nobe, makeup- Fumii Nakagawa), transcends mere fashion and model and becomes a beautifully indistinguishable fusion of fashion, art, architecture, man, warrior and meaning.
        I was also taken with the fact that his collection, which entirely is for men (though I would wear any of it in a second), is so far from the typical menswear we see again and again, while still including menswear staples (such as the blazer). Tabor (and the rest of his team) is absolutely on to something, I'll surely be keeping an eye on him.

to see his collection, as well as a short bio and links to the rest of the team's sites, see Tabor's website.
