FORCES OF FASHION
“In di cult times, fashion is
always outrageous.” The pithy
maxim by famed Surrealist
designer Elsa Schiaparelli
best describes the times we
live in. But for these four
men and women, all singular
in their approach to style,
maximalism isn’t just a passing
phase—it’s rooted in their very
sartorial identity. While for
one it may be a love for logos,
for another it’s a penchant
for dramatic silhouettes.
What unites them is their
strongly individual approach
to rule-breaking, no-holds-
barred fashion. Photographed

WHERE THE WILD
THINGS ARE
Since arriving at Gucci,
Alessandro Michele has
turned us on to his magically
surreal vision of fashion. For
all the fl ights of fancy, though,
he’s designing for today’s
world. By Hamish Bowles.

MANISH TO THE MAX
He refuses to categorise
himself as a maximalist, would
hate for his clothes to be liked
by all, and believes that his
exciting life makes for the
best inspiration. Manish Arora
and his unique aesthetic
defy defi nition, says Priyanka
