—01. Inventory Issue 06: Neighborhood SS12 editorial.

Words

Not only is Neil Bedford an extremely talented photographer, he's also a pleasure to work with. We're lucky enough to have counted him among our contributors since Issue 02, and I'm proud of the work we've done together. Often challenging, and always incredibly well executed, I feel strongly that his editorials, usually produced with Stephen Mann, are an essential part of our magazine. These images go some way to illustrating that point, but for an insight into his work beyond Inventory, you really should take the time to explore his new website.

A selection of behind the scenes imagery from the Issue 05 editorial Stereograph. The story, styled by Stephen Mann and shot by Neil Bedford, focuses on the clothing and footwear of Paul Harnden, and is one of my favourite editorials to appear in the magazine to date.

Words

We don't normally post that much runway imagery, but the Missoni Spring-Summer '12 collection warrants the attention. Styled by our friend, and regular Inventory contributor, Stephen Mann, the show featured lots of simple light layering and considered combinations of pattern and colour. The collection merges elements of sportswear and technical detailing with neat cuts and Missoni's iconic knitwear resulting in something inventive and modern, yet equally wearable. Click on the link below to view the show in its entirety.
