Gary Graham Volumized for Fall With Layers and Textures

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

Inspired by Joseph Campbell’s book Hero with a Thousand Faces, Gary Graham divided the journey of the classic hero into three different phases: Departure, Initiation and Return. The garments from his fall/winter 2011 collection act as characters who subscribe to the journey through the phases. Models with black 80s rock’n'roll mullets walked through a crooked door into the hazy room and onto a homemade wooden plank covered in layers of wool-batik prints, hand knits reminiscent of Ukrainian shepherds and striped athletic socks. Garments were shown multiple times but presented with piles of different layers to demonstrate the versatility and wearability of the collection during a season when temperatures can be spastic.

RUNWAY RUNDOWN: Gary Graham Fall 2009

Edited by Kirby Marzec

Holy fallen leaves, Gary Graham’s Fall 2009 is very much reminiscent of his November Delaware days! I usually think those autumn inspired fall collection borderline dust-ridden attic finds, but I am obsessed with this collection. Filled with distressed leather jackets, paisley tapestry tights and coats, gorgeous reddish burgundy tops and dresses and intense collared shirts, Graham’s collection is teeming with impressive pieces. The man knows how to use earth tones and combined with his aesthetic touch of military, the collection is an overall Civil War, Americana success. Hats off, my dear!
