Thomas Burkovatz strikes a pose on the cover of Essential Hommes' latest issue with styling from Rene Gloor and captured by duo Karine Welter and Oliver Rust.

It was bittersweet when Viktor & Rolf announced that they would not be showing a full-fledged men's fashion show for SS14. They opted against it since the duo are dipping their toes back into haute couture, where they first started. So for the upcoming season, the forward-thinking designers tapped Thomas Burkovatz to don their collegiate inspired college of asymmetrical jackets, graphic knits and boxy trousers. Viktor & Rolf's calming color scheme was in line with the rest of the fashion luminaries and as they mixed the blues with the collegiate theme, what resulted was nothing short of an excellent interpretation of the allure and nonchalance of youth.

Yuangui Mei and Dan Cui are tasked with shoot and styling a myriad of models for this shoot in the SS13 issue of GQ Style China. Alexander Ferrario, Andres Bird, Arthur Gosse, Guilliaume Babouin, Hao Yunxiang, Malcolm de Ruiter, Rui wang, Simon Sabbah, Tang Xiaotian and Thomas Burkovatz all wear the season's top fashion, from Prada to Raf Simons in the lengthy shoot.

Matthew Brookes and Serge Girardi's collaboration continue to impress, this time for the cover of the latest issue of Les Echos Sériee Limitée. The issue is dedicated to Alessandro Sartori, formerly of Z Zegna and now the creative director of Berluti. In the shoot, Brookes and Girardi capture and style Thomas Burkovatz, Benoni Loos, Luka Badnajar, Antoine Miller, Jeremy Barrois and Richard Bouwman in gorgeous sportswear from Berluti, under the direction of Sartori.

Ivan Muselli and Nicholas Galletti work together for the July/August 2012 issue of Essential Homme. In the shoot, they capture and style Jeremy Dufour and Thomas Burkovatz in a stunningly dark and haunting rooftop shoot overlooking a stunning vista of Paris featuring dramatic light and equally dramatic fashions.
