The NME Awards last night was a pretty stylish affair, most of the music crowd were dressed smartly although no one went for broke like the Arctic Monkeys at the Brits.
Dazed and Confused: Madonna April 2008
Okay, okay- so Madonna on a magazine cover isn’t strictly menswear news but if anyone has pushed the boundaries of androgyny, it’s Madonna.
Justin Timberlake signs for Givenchy
Another day, another celebrity endorsement deal. Forbes report that Givenchy have signed Justin Timberlake to be the face of their new men’s perfume, which launches this autumn.
Loden Dager for Uniqlo
New York label Loden Dager are the latest in an
increasing line of designers to team up with Uniqlo,
creating a Spring/Summer mini collection. The collection is strong, with the
check shirt being the only really ugly piece on it. Some might say it’s a bit
dull but it’s a collection designed for high street consumption, so that
criticism is like complaining that you can’t wear Gareth Pugh’s collection to Tesco.
You Would If You Could… Bright Suits
There are endless trends and endless items you can wear to copy them. However, some looks are just out there to be seen.
Wearing one colour all the time
While not as interesting as Lindsay Lohan going impersonating Marilyn Monroe, there was an intriguing feature in New York magazine about
topless
people who wear all one
colour. Don’t worry, black wasn’t allowed – otherwise it would have just
been a feature on Goths.
Update: Ewan McGregor for Davidoff
A few weeks ago, I posted on the first pics from Ewan McGregor’s campaign for Davidoff’s ‘Adventure’ fragrance. So when this TV advert rudely interrupted my usual Sunday morning T4 routine, I was surprised to realise what it was. Unlike most luxury label adverts, this little film is subtle, succinct and pretty spectacular.
Puma x Yo! MTV Raps
Following on from the Alfie x Puma
collaboration that reader Jerome posted the other day, Puma have gone even
crazier with these Puma
First Rounds. Continuing their collaboration with the Yo! MTV Raps series,
these trainers are custom made for Cool
Kids fans. If hot pink doesn’t scare you, then you can get these from
boutiques come spring.
Burton get a bit cheeky with their Japanese Denim
If you’ve looked at our Jeans coverage in
the past then you’ll know all about raw & selvedge denim. You’ll also know
that the best selvedge denim comes from Japan. Not necessarily all denim from
Japan is expertly made on great looms and this is why Burton’s attempt
at Japanese denim is a bit cheeky.
Pete Doherty turns down modelling gig
According to Dlisted, Pete Doherty has turned down a modelling job offer from lastseason.com because there wasn’t enough money it.
Perez Hilton looks vile… again.
I can’t really be bothered to talk about any of the men at last night’s Brits. What a snivelling, dull bunch they seemed next to all those fabulous dames. Makes me want to become a lesbian.
DETAILS March 2008-Hayden Christensen
The latest issue of Details proves that this is a magazine for the fresh faces and rising stars.
Another designer robbery as MAN designer James Long’s autumn/winter 2008-9 collection goes missing
This is becoming absurd, not to mention extremely frustrating to read about. Vogue.co.uk reports that MAN designer James Long has had his autumn/winter 2008-9 collection stolen. The young designer suffered at the hands of thieves a mere hours after his show took place last Friday. We reviewed the MAN show earlier in the week.
A.P.C’s Top Ten Essential items
The Top 10’s on Men.Style.com are pretty
fascinating, purely because they give you a tiny window into a designers life
and influences. As you’d expect, most designers name a Mac and a piece of
clothing amongst their top ten essentials, but some are more abstract than
that.
Design Your Own Converse
Remember the fun we had designing new Nike Dunks? By “we” I mean “I” and by “designing” I mean “changing colours”.
Unconditional at London Fashion Week
Unconditional is without doubt my favourite collection which shows at London Fashion Week. Autumn Winter 08 is a real return to form for the label with some fresh new looks. Last season’s show was nice, but was a bit of a safe collection for them, delivering more of the same fine gauge knits, draped and gathered garments and chest-baring T-shirts …
Gareth Pugh at London Fashion Week
Mr Tumnas* trousers anyone? No, didn’t think so, but then that’s not what outré designers like Gareth Pugh are for. He exists so Kylie can wear him and people will say “Ooh, Kylie’s wearing Gareth Pugh, she’s still got it”.
Deryck Walker at London Fashion Week
Deryck Walker started his career with Boudicca, before working with Robert Carey Williams. His clothes are sold in Dover Street Market and his side projects include art installations in some of the edgiest galleries. But despite this résumé, his latest collection is surprisingly conservative
Todd Lynn at London Fashion Week
Canadian export to London, Todd Lynn showed his latest collection for men and women this week in London. He continued to cement his reputation as the king of rock n’ roll, with this edgy dark collection, which will appeal to his fans who include U2, Marilyn Manson and The Rolling Stones.
