Model Matthew Bartow from Red Model Management New York photographed in vintage and designer punk/new wave inspired clothing for Ponyboy magazine menswear editorial “Neat Neat Neat!”.
“Fade To Grey” is the name of our latest Ponyboy menswear editorial, a song title from the new romantic band Visage, fronted by style icon Steve Strange. A favorite time period of ours, the late 70s to early 80s proved to be so creative and expressive, from the punk movement to the birth of new wave.
Robert Geller never ceases to amaze us here at Ponyboy. His casual, yet avant-garde collections are never boring and he is always a step ahead of the rest. For Spring/Summer 2017, Geller took us on a ‘Walk on the Wild Side” with leopard prints and neon colors. The designer’s inspiration cleary came from the 80s, primarily the music and underground scene of new wave Berlin. He stated that he channeled the creativity of German post-punk bands like Einstürzende Neubauten and Nina Hagen. Weller gave us edginess in many forms, one of our favorites being polaroids fastened to jackets and trousers. Model Max Von Isser wore a jacket with an interesting strap detail, a bondage effect. Fur pom-pom keychains attached to the trousers added an eclectic accent. Neon colored washed silk cropped pegged trousers ruled the show. The record-style bags that incorporated the Tower Records font were just genius. Our infatuation increases with every collection that we’ve seen and we eagerly anticipate what this design mastermind will create next season.
