Mr Card and his Card Tricks

Anotherman I'm not usually one to rave about the latest 'IT' people, probably because I'm usually terribly slow with getting on board with who's 'IT', who's not and all the usual party shennanigans and the fact that I'm a bit of an old biddy.  There has been a buzz about Gary Card and his set designs and the fact he's been in a Paul Smith campaign has raised his profile a little bit more.  The fact is, at least this 'IT' person has some super skills.  Here he is in the new issue of AnOther Man, photographed by William Selden and styled by Nicolas Formichetti, modelling amongst sets that he has created himself.  I love that the styling and the set design has come together so seamlessly.  A ramshackle sixth-form type art studio with an array of quirky cardigans pulled from a wide range of designers.  Who knew Missoni, CdG and Paul Smith could look so in sync with each other?  The eclecticism of the styling on Mr Card is making me want to rummage all my stripes, pastels and brights to recreate similar modes of attire, replacing the trousers with a solid coloured skirt perhaps but keeping the bow ties, cardis and brogues.  As for the sets, may Mr Card keep on at his craft...
