David Hart FW14

David Hart AW14

David Hart's Fall 2014 Collection debuted at Industria Superstudio in NYC.  The theme was "The Twilight Zone," with clever details like hand painted cracked lenses on the models' glasses, television static effects in the jacket prints and shearling collars, and a single model holding a chained pocket watch to set the tone.  

Apart from his natural instincts for choosing color and print, Hart is very skilled in tailoring a classic suit in quality textiles for a modern silhouette.  There is so much diversity in his color palette, models, and assortment, yet somehow it all ties together beautifully in one tight, refined collection.   

The presentation was part of New York Fashion Week Men's Day, sponsored by Cadillac.  On display just outside the venue was the Cadillac ELR wrapped in a print from Hart's Spring Collection.

It was an honor to be able to shoot backstage for David Hart again this year.  Special thanks to Kien Hoang, Key Stylist for the Oribe Haircare team.

David Hart's SS14 collection is a brilliant display of menswear.  The aesthetic clearly takes cues from the past, but proportions and details keep each piece modern and wearable.  I wanted to take the whole collection home!  His masterful use of color and print are surpassed only by the quality of the clothes - craftsmanship we have already come to know and love from Hart's famous tie collections.  The Hawaiian vintage vacation theme was set to the live sounds of Nick Waterhouse.  From the music to the styling, the show was an excellent production.

It was an honor to shoot backstage for the Oribe Hair team, led by Kien Hoang.  I have worked on set in San Francisco with Kien before, and it was a delight that a model from the Bay Area was cast in the show as well.  It was such a surprise you guys I literally gasped when they announced this and everyone turned and looked at me it was really awkward when I found out Nick Waterhouse was playing live for the runway show and presentation!  Such a special group made me miss home.
