Marlon Gobel in IDOL Magazine

I had the pleasure of interviewing Marlon Gobel for IDOL Magazine's Kitsch Issue. After leaving Marlon's man-glamourous Swarovski sponsored show I knew I had to feature the collection, which was one of my favorite's of the season. In this interview, we talk about what trends he's ready to see go-away, Elton John, and what it was like to work with Christian Louboutin.

Some of my favorite pieces from the collection were the Swarovski Crystal bow-tie, Navy Bullet-Dented Quilted Suit, and the Crystal Blue Armor Jacket to name a few. The quilted suit fits like a glove and is to die for. A perfect and cool updated version on the classic navy suit.

Essential Homme's Block Party

I fell in love with all the high waist trousers I saw on the runways for fall. So, for Essential Homme's September Issue I wanted to take a fun and youthful approach to Grandpa's trousers. I loved all the Phillip Lim trousers and sheer turtle necks. YSL and Juun J did fantastic elevated trousers as well.
