One’s got to Hassle to get a bit of Bal

1. Martyn Bal with Erik Hassle, 2. Graeme Gaughan (IPR), 3. Dean Mayo Davies (fashion writer), and 4. Erik Hassle with band.

So last night (yup, another one of those – ’tis the season, y’all) we went to the grand unveiling of the Martyn Bal s/s 10 campaign pictures starring Swedish singer Erik Hassle, shot by Richard Stowe.

The testosterone carrying part of the DANSK office (shut up, the doctors said we were almost like other men (or maybe they said ‘real’ men, but that’s insignificant to the story)) have long been screaming like little girls outside Zac Efron’s hotel (yes, we can make that comparison by experience) to get our hands on a little Bal.

Unfortunately, security at the IPR showroom was super tight so all we got away with were these pictures and some celebratory the-s/s-10-issue-is-nearly-finished champagne. Oh, and Erik gave an exclusive concert of tracks from his soon-to-be-released album, which were amazing and included a not-to-be-released-on-the-soon-to-be-released-album cover of La Roux’ Going in for the Kill a la Depeche Mode.
