NOCTEM for Christopher Bates–The darkness and intensity of the new fall 2014 menswear collection by Christopher Bates has been captured immaculately in a new shoot and accompanying short film by photographer Ramin Deravian. The striking outing features models Jarret (Elite Toronto) and Jennifer Steele (Sutherland Models). From a pristine tuxedo to a set of biker leathers, Bates’ designs are given an air of menace as Deravian demonstrates the influence of 1980s film classics like Blade Runner. On-point styling and the strong collection at its core make this two-pronged campaign rather exciting indeed. / Styling by Julianne Costigan. Grooming by Caroline Levin (Page One Management).
