While Dior’s haute couture runway was referencing 50s and 60s silhouettes and Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel haute couture pulled out an old illustration of Coco Chanel as guide, Kitsuné reached back into the fashion zeitgeist to…Brokeback Mountain. The film that gave romance a more nuanced spin inspired the Paris-based brand’s Fall 2011 men’s collection. With [...]

Just as our wallets have been slimmed the last couple of years, the Fall 2011 European men’s collections have pared down the silhouette into a long, lean, brooding machine. Taking a page from Rick Owen’s playbook, designers played with lengthening proportions. Tops became tunics, while boots were long and slouchy – not unlike a nod [...]

It’s been men’s fashion week over in Europe and how fitting it was then, that we stumbled across this stunning editorial “Letters from Mateusz.” Shot by the talented Teuku Ajie, the black and white images have a raw sex appeal to them – contributed partly by shrunken fits modeled by Polish model Mateusz Rogenbuk.

As such, it was a mellow Friday morning when we revisited London-based Lina Osterman’s Fall 2010 collection. We last checked out her collection at London’s Fringe catwalk for Spring [...]

Fiasco magazine has turned into quite the hotbed of photographer and stylist talent – all of which makes sense considering founder Vincent Nord is an accomplished lensman himself. We were perusing through the latest issue of Fiasco, #5 Lost, when we chanced upon Caius Christoe. The Australia native turned New York resident plays with the [...]

Sure we’ve been reading that manly men are back, but we still don’t mind some androgyny here and there especially if it involves the leonine features of Dutch model Bastiaan Van Gaalen and some Raf Simons. The oft-spotted GQ favorite took a turn in an edgier mag with photographer Greg Gex for the latest issue [...]

Looks like Opening Ceremony isn’t the only retailer with a soft spot for heritage brands. New York-based boutique Steven Alan debuts today its collaboration with classic line Dockers Collegiate. Check out the updated button down and khaki (naturally) designs for men and let us know what you think (prices run from $148 to $248). It [...]
