Huntsman
June 9th, 2011 by Genesis and Rachel Kara | Published in Headline, Sydney Man
Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers, it starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters…sings modern day Euterpe, Florence - of the Machine. The young Sydney man becomes like hunter and layers for perhaps the city’s coldest winter to date.
Emperors, kings and the greatest of men hunted. Epic tales were written about those who did. Symbolically the hunt came to glorify the quest for truth and salvation and in more secular circles - the struggle of the lover to attain his beloved. Although those days are long gone, the legend of the hunt persists to inspire Fall/Winter menswear collections. Just think Pringle of Scotland, Lanvin and Dries Van Noten FW11. For this winter mens look we have made pelt of such tradition and updated the huntsman’s wardrobe. Faux furs, check shirts and heavy corduroys. What he hunts for is none other than a heart to warm this winter.
