Marc by Marc Jacobs always seems to surprise people that it’s actually good, which I still find hard to believe after so many great seasons in a row. The faux vintage mixed with high fashion styling always seems to match pop culture perfect and inspire all those people on LOOKBOOK.nu and Chictopia to try new things with their garage sale finds.

Hedi Slimane for Prada

The brilliant Hedi Slimane was chosen by Prada to photograph their latest menswear campaign. Simple and refined, just like it should be. These photos continue the tradition of greatness both Slimane and Prada display time and time again when it comes to integrating high fashion into other artistic mediums. These are not the flashiest images out there but they are striking, Slimane knows how to reduce a subject to it’s pure, essential elements. In a time when technology and the increased exposure of amateur photography into the mainstream pressures professional photographers to go overboard on effects, Slimane shows that the best choice is to go with substance and let the photograph prove itself.
