GQ's Abbey Road Collection for 2009

It was 1969 and John, Paul, Ringo and George knew that this was to be their last album. What they didn’t know was that Abbey Road would become one of the greatest albums of all time and that the cover would become perhaps the most well know of album covers ever.
Did you know that the cover photgrapher Ian MacMillan had only 10 minutes to shoot the picture. So at 11:30 in the more he took that famous click of the Beatles walking across the zebra crossing outside the studio. That was in 1969. Nearly 40 years later GQ’s own photographer Chance Buell took our Wazee Street version of Abbey Road at 11:30 in the morning.
Our Creative Director, Crystal Hass took her inspiration from that iconic album to design our first collection of men men’s hair design men’s hair styles for 2009. While Beatles had their differences in 1969 with themselves, with each other and with the world, they came together to produce a very strong, solid album. And so it is with this collection.
There is weight and texture and a decidedly square orientation of these designs that add strength to the male presentation. Strength to get through adversity and uncertainty that is with men today and was with the Beatles 40 years ago. Have a look.
