"Les hommes privés" was the history of members-only private clubs originally set up by and for British upper class men in the 18th century, and popularised by English upper-middle class men and women in the late 19th century and early 20th century.
We would love to present our editorial as one of the propositions related to the theme "Hierarchy". In this case we refer to dominance hierarchy that has been a part of society since early stages of humans' evolution. Dominance hierarchy arises when members of a social group interact, creating a ranking system. In social living groups, members are likely to compete for access to limited resources and mating opportunities that seem to be really common especially nowadays. It leads to creating a social order that we could compare to the rules of a jungle.
While working on this project we have focused on presenting one day from the lives of two gentlemen as well as members of a private club and therefore on showcasing the newest trends of British and international designers of casual smart and street couture.
This project is a modern vision of members only clubs inspired by London West End. We wanted to focus on exclusivity of those places as well as emphasise the fact that the only people who can gather in those places are specifically selected by entitled people. It clearly shows this gap between luxurious life of upper class and simple, humble existence of working one.
It has been a big collaboration of NO.5IMAGE Creatives, founded by Klaudia Nowak and Paul Perelka and a fashion brand #TheKrag that has been invented by Magdalena Dudarska and Frederick Szydlowski.
This editorial features several fashion brands such as: KTZ, Finsk Studio, Consistence, Sandor Lakatos and Kiki Minchin.
We have incorporated some typography work on each image to specify what pieces are from what designer.
Please do not forget to tag people when posting on social media profiles (little reminder as it happened before).
