HARDING
FASHION EDITORWhat are your top
three moments
from fashion weeks,
and why?
1. Loulou restaurant with
Patrick Demarchelier.
There’s only one Patrick.
2. The Prada show- it’s always magical.
- Sitting opposite
Aziz Ansari and dancing
along to The Beatles
at Paul Smith.
Two wardrobe
essentials every
man should own?
A great leather
jacket and a pair of
RM Williams boots.
The best thing
about your job?
The opportunity to
travel and meet / work
with photographers
whose work I have
long admired.
Is it possible to
predict ‘trends’?
And if so, how?
Yes, of course. Read GQ,
we’ll get you clued up.
What fashion advice
would you offer any
gent who asked
for some?
Choose fit and comfort
over fashion. There is
nothing more awkward
than looking pained
or uncomfortable.
The most prominent
thing about James
Franco on set?
James is intelligent,
charming and very
cool but above all he
was respectful and
professional. It was
very endearing.
PERRY OGDEN
SHOT OUR CAMEL AND
COLOUR STORY IN PARIS; P240What is your favourite subject to photograph?
People.
How does shooting fashion differ to portraits
and places?
Not that much as I tend to see everything as
one. Though with fashion you have to keep
an eye on the clothes.
What impact does photography have
on men’s style?
I think people are looking at photographs
more than ever before so there is definitely
an impact though it’s hard to know exactly
what that impact is.
The greatest moment in your career?
There have been many great moments. Going
to the Venice and Toronto film festivals with
my film Pavee Lackeen (The Traveller Girl) are
definitely two of the highlights.
And the most difficult thing about your job?
Dealing with customs!FROM TOP
Prada’s Men’s SS18
show in Milan in June;

MALLETT
INTERNED WITH
THE FASHION TEAMDo you have a favourite
story you worked on?
I quite enjoyed working
on the GQ Style on-model
story. I got to help with the
planning and organisation
of that shoot. To see the
process evolve from the
theme, styling and shoot
to it being on layout was
really rewarding.
How would you describe
your own style?
Fluid. I love the classic
nature of suiting and the
structured silhouettes that
it can provide. However,
I do also love attention
to detail and feminine
accents. Accessories are
also a major part of my
style as I believe it ‘putsthe cherry on the cake’.
Who are some of your style
icons and why?
Law Roach is definitely one
due to the work that he has
done collaborating with
Zendaya and Celine Dion,
as well as his creative
direction and progressive
thinking. It’s a path I’d love
to one day follow.
What’s your dream job?
I would love to be a part
of the styling team of a
main fashion house – Dior
Homme, Burberry or Ann
Demeulemeester are some
favourites. To put forward
my creative input and to
experience the process
of design would be an
absolute dream.You were a hand and leg
model in our previous
issue. Any plans to
expand your career?
I loved being in front of the
camera – it was interesting
to see the other side of the
story. I would be up for
anything in the modelling
field, I think it would be a
great opportunity to learn
more about the industry.
You’re moving to London
soon. What are you most
looking forward to?
I can’t wait to experience
the diverse fashion culture
as the scene in London has
played a part in shaping my
style. I’m also excited to
dive into all opportunities
that come my way.
