VMAN Calls Up 80s Glam and Gore with Hunter Clem Lensed by Domen / Van de Velde AOC Fashion

V MAN is calling all vampires, who will loose their bloody minds over ‘All Hallow’s Eve Summons the Glam and the Gore of the 80s’.

Inspired by the cult classic vampire flick ‘The Lost Boys’, the fashion story brings together photographers Domen and Van de Velde; model and photographer himself Hunter Clem; and the well-known creative director Nicola Formichetti. [Clem was introduced to VMAN readers earlier in the year.]

Formichetti explains "This Halloween shoot was inspired by Hunter (Clem)’s love for the '80s! It is our own unique story about a modern-day version of the cult film, where Ziggy Stardust meets Billy Idol and goes to a party thrown by the misfits—it's like an abstract version of a vampire."

Blumarine Takes Flight in Spring 2022 Images by Harley Weir for Numéro Berlin

Blumarine’s Nicola Brognano’s fashion lust is reserved for the 00s but with a twist: “My Blumarine is more dirty, bitchy, sexier.”

Fashion News at AnneofCarversville.com

Creative Director Nicola Brognano arrived at Blumarine in 2019, prepared to invigorate the beloved 90s brand that had lost its luster. Brognano’s fashion lust is reserved for the 00s, a time when the Italian designer was obsessed with Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and the era of ‘Mean Girls’.

AOC’s reference is important because in the words of the designer to a Vogue reviewer: “My Blumarine is more dirty, bitchy, sexier.”

“I was obsessed with them when I was younger (in Southern Italy),” he explains about Spears, Lohan and Hilton. “Even growing up and thinking about becoming a fashion designer, I have always wanted to make women feel as sexy and powerful as they were.”

When he first arrived at Blumarine, Brognano brought back from the dead Blumarine’s butterfly top. [Did you know that Google also brought back Feedburner from the dead, and AOC is running our RSS feed on it?]. The designer told Dazed that Versace has its Medusa and Blumarine has its butterfly.

By every measure, Brognano’s Blumarine rehab is working out just fine, with pop culture powerhouses like Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa and Rihanna signing on as clients.

Stylist and collaborator Lotta Volkova is always described has having a “sharp and Knowing eye for the cheeky and surreal”, according to Vogue’s Liana Satenstein. That pov about Volkova is universal.

Photographer Harley Weir IG] joined the Blumarine Spring 2022 fashion passion party in Milan, shooting these atmospheric images for Numéro Berlin.
