BEYOND THE PAGES THE ABSTRACT ISSUE. This is Beyond Man, the bi-monthly, online publication dedicated to presenting innovative and explosive men' s fashion ' from men in fashion: from Belfast & Beyond' . The last twelve months have been mind-blowing and it is with the greatest pleasure that I present to you our fourth digital volume of 2 014 entitled ' The Abstract Issue' , taking on all things creative, all things colourful, all things avant garde and all things artistic. Pushing contemporary menswear through haunting aesthetics, club scene styling, independent designers, theatrical in-your-face streetwear and the hedonistic/bohemian opulence of the natural world. First up we have our cover shoot ANONYMOUS, from one of Northern Ireland' s leading male fashion photographer' s Mr Lee Mitchell. Featuring the androgynous and porcelain skinned Stephen Edgar of Distinct Model Management donning a handful of Marie-Claire Ferguson' s unique and spectacular millinery, worn as masks to pretty much cover his wonderful face the entire time. Sorry Stephen. Don' t feel bad folks, Stephen' s a Beyond Man alumni, his face has had enough coverage. In our second editorial CLUB KIDZ, we move from the studio to the world of hypnotic dance tracks in some enchanting club scene apparel mixed with an edgy and youthful take on the partywear trends. Shot by fashion photographer & club snapper extraordinaire Simon Crawford on location in one of Belfast' s newest on-trend clubbing hotspots, known simply as BOOMBOX!
Then we come to possibly one of our most exciting and proudest achievements of 2 K14 , the launch of our very own unisex capsule collection entitled FAUXIALITE. Inspired by those who know fashion, who live by fashion and aren' t the celebrity style culture fanboys and fangirls who understand j ack shit. A collection for the models, for the bloggers, for the photographers and the die-hard front rowers. Captured perfectly by BigBad Llama, an avid independent label wearer from head to toe, shooting CMPR' s latest signing Aoife Malone ( blogger, model & garment customiser) alongside new face John McDowell to produce a creative story of confidence and style arrogance. #Fauxialite. Speaking of creatives, we also have not one but two phenomenal editorials from super stylist Jamie Russell on another Lee Mitchell assist for the psychedelic SHINE, complete with PVA glitter glue ensembles, glitter infused hair spray and glitter soaked facials. Closing with WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE, as the prestigious and esteemed Glenn Norwood of Norwood Photography brings Jamie' s ' haute culture' bespoke, couture floral garments to life with the help of London Collections model Gary Talbot and Pray for Paris postergirl Nerissa Moore. Basically The Abstract Issue is all about the artistic photography and the stylists/designers/photographers who help create it. Special thanks must also go out to the incredibly inspiring Jonathan McKelvey of Uber Hair who manufactures the art of hair on every occassion and celebrated MUA' s Rebecca Bryson & Tippy Logronio for their flawless talents. " The longer you look at an obj ect, the more abstract it becomes, and ironically, the more real. " -Lucian Freud Front Cover: Photography: Lee Mitchell, Styling & Creative Direction: Lewis Cameron, Model: Stephen Edgar, Designs by Marie-Claire Ferguson.
