Graced with the opening and closing of the show was Australian model, Jordan Barrett. With the entire show styled by the incredibly talented Melbourne-based stylist, Brett Bowen.
All models were swathed in structured menswear nodding to contemporary street style, coupled with sleek accessories and featuring The Zeo hat by ZIGGI ZUVER.
The method of his latest collection, as described by Cassin himself with his exclusive interview for RUSSH magazine;
“Every Justin Cassin piece is designed for comfort and exudes a unique style of laid back sophistication – they will live through the seasons and be worn occasion after occasion. I was hoping to capture a moment in time. 2022 is very different from 2019 [as] we are emerging – there is hope. We return to the workplace and rediscover social life, celebrating life once again.”
“The pandemic and lockdowns have given us greater appreciation and clarity,” explains Cassin. “People want to embrace art and creativity, fashion and fun. I think the future is bright.”
All of this is evident, not only in the garments but everything else about the show. From the clean set design and lighting, to the mood, music and the way each model moves with such an effortlessly cool, laid back attitude.
A bright future awaits indeed.
