Medieval Menswear Editorials

NEW ICON's Dark Knight Fashion Story Highlights Chained Metal Attire

— August 18, 2014 — Fashion
Nicholas Groome stars in "Dark Knight", a medieval-themed editorial exclusive for NEW ICON magazine. The fresh face-from Chadwick Models in Australia-is captured by photographer David Tan's lens while posing in a series of opulent and heavily accessorized portraits.

NEW ICON magazine's "Dark Knight" fashion story highlights a wardrobe of chain link accessories like metal-made hoods, armored knight gloves and other vibrant pieces that are a fresh translation of medieval looks. These historical styles are juxtaposed with more contemporary garments from the likes of Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta and Gucci among other familiar labels.

This captivating series is captured in the Sofitel Hotel in Singapore and embodies a feeling of fantasy and whimsy. The designer-enriched editorial looks to the past for its inspiration and embodies an ornate aesthetic.
Trend Themes
1. Medieval-inspired Mens Fashion - Creating clothing designs inspired by medieval styles with contemporary touches for men using chains and metal to create armor-like attires.
2. Fashion Photography with Fantasy Touches - Incorporating a fantasy element into high fashion photography with portraits that mix historical and contemporary styles.
3. Ornate Menswear Apparel - Using opulent and heavily accessorized designs in high fashion photo shoots to create a feeling of whimsy and fantasy.
Industry Implications

2. Fashion Photography Industry - Fashion photographers can take inspiration from the 'Dark Knight' editorial, using high-quality lighting and ornate backgrounds to create unique and captivating images.
3. Luxury Hotel Industry - Luxury hotels can use their properties as a backdrop for photo shoots, offering a new revenue stream while providing a unique and exotic setting for fashion editorials and campaigns.
