Nice, clever and clean with sharp cuts, colour play and contemporary relevance.

Early George Harvey image

For a young man who cuts such a clear path through the London Fashion Scene, photographer George Harvey is one of the most unaffected new talent you could hope to find. But don't let the nonchalance fool you. In record time Mr Harvey has been ensconced in the ID camp, shooting covers and edits with a striking graphic quality and a beautiful sense of color control. George's images are pop, now , tight, fast and fluid. Tune in as he shares with TI his thoughts on the image trade.

ANTHONY VACCARELLO & LOU DOILLON

Vacerello has an idea of a woman and she is certain and strong. But even as she is angular and structured, she remains always, always, feminine.

Leonardo Aguirre is a rising talent on the design scene, based out of Los Angeles. He specializes in highly structured yet deconstructed clothing, with lots of intricate tailoring. There's a continuing thread of tension throughout his season less collections. Pieces are added to the continuous dialog, each a small fractal component of his overall vision.

Sonny Groo slinking through Paris: Image via mykromag.com

It' s clear by now that I'm deeply intrigued by the styling and editing work of the driven young Sonny Groo. Hailing from Amsterdam, Sonny is one of those rare individuals whose passion for the industry transcends the common hunt for fame and money. You get the sense that the boy is doing what he does out of a sense of destiny. We had a late breakfast on the day after the final show of Paris Fashion Week where Sonny brought me a copy of the gorgeous first print issue of Mykromag. It was like being handed this beautifully crafted black box filled with images by new photographers shooting pieces by new designers on new and sometimes never before seen models. I loved the audacity and the elegance of the book and treasured it. During our conversation, tears came to Sonny's eyes when he tried to express how important it was for him to see and create beautiful images . We were in this shockingly modern organic food cafe on rue des Pyramides as the last of the visiting fashionistas came sprinting down rue Saint Honore. I remembered thinking...now here is the extreme degree of passion you need for success in fashion.

"I STARTED IMAGINING CLOTHES THE SAME WAY I STARTED CREATING IMAGES:
WITH A SENSE OF CURIOSITY AND INNOCENCE DRIVEN BY MY NO-BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND. NO SCHOOL. NO TEACHERS. NO TELLY. NO BOUNDARIES. NO FORMATTING.
I LIKE THE IDEA OF A WORLD THAT WE COULD LIVE AND SHAPE BY OURSELVES, ONLY BY OBSERVING.
EACH OUR OWN. MY CLOTHES HAVE ERUPTED FROM THIS WORLD OF MINE. THEY ARE ASEXUAL, ASEASONAL,
THEY COME FROM NO PLACE, NO TIME, NO TRADITION, YET THEY COULD BE HOME ANYWHERE, ANYTIME.
THEY EXUDE A SENSE OF DISCREET CHIC, THE ESSENCE OF TIMELESS STYLE, DRAWN ON A MONOCHROMATIC
AND GRAPHICAL CANVAS. PALETTE OF BLACKS, TOUCHES OF PURE WHITES AND INTENSE REDS. SOPHISTICATED
MODERN CLASSICS FOR ANTI-CONFORMIST INDIVIDUALS."
