The new Zara Man campaign may just be their best one yet! A collaboration between Creative Director Fabien Baron (Founder Baron-Baron creative agency and The Impression magazine) and Fashion Photographer Craig McDean delivered a stunning, moody atmosphere set in a gritty industrial shipping yard. What truly stands out is the casting of fresh multi-cultural faces to front the latest collection. The cast of rising models includes Abdulaye Niang (DNA), Willow Barrett (DNA), Simon Bornhall (IMG), Kendall Harrison (Two Mgmt), Ihor Liubchenko (Success Paris), and Evan Moss (Vision LA). Fall pieces at Zara are a longtime customer favorite, and their use of modern tailoring, mixed patterns and statement footwear does not disappoint!

On a summer night in Gramercy Park, Photographer Sam Linder (1/2 of the design duo behind Linder) fused the eclectic worlds of the art purveyor and fashion enthusiast for an evening of borderline indecent... yet satirical appreciation of Polaroid film and digital stills.

  [caption id="attachment_15833" align="alignleft" width="522"]Sam Linder NYFW 2018 Sam Linder[/caption] The artist premiered his work in 6 mini collections. A theme discovered beneath the series of TV Stills and abstract Polaroids was the mystery behind each frame. The mind wonders what inspired the photographer to combine pop culture references... with the cringe-worthy aftermath of terrorist attacks, and a study on destruction and death? Walking through the exhibition, the space transformed into an intensified 3 am internet binge. Bringing to the surface our darkest, most intimate search history. Linder held the exhibition inside the National Arts Club (a National Historic Landmark founded in 1898). The mansion is situated along the pristine Gramercy Park, (home to Linder's studio, Jimmy Fallon and Uma Thurman). Open to the public, the National Arts Club's mission "is to stimulate, foster, and promote public interest in the arts in NYC." While some of the New Yorkers in attendance wore pieces from Linder collections, there was a wide range of looks: Statement footwear, high fashion streetwear, uncommon prints and plays of pastels with edgy accessories filled the space with original, badass style. This made for a reassuring juxtaposition of modern contemporaries against the backdrop of high-society design elements in a pre-war interior.

"Young people now form their identities almost as much through versions of themselves that live on 'the other' side of the screen as on 'this' side." - Sam Linder

The exhibition was an exploration of self, the Sam Linder that sits alone in the dark and turns a blind eye to censorship... only to expose the darkest parts of the web, which captivate and fascinate. Linder dissects that which modern society considers taboo and immoral, proposing to reveal a collective psyche of a raunchy, bizarre, morbid existence only appreciated by the inherently melancholic and unbiased.
