Giant Trainer Watch!

In Selfridges shoes galleries where once stood a massive silver stilleto now a light up hi-top takes its place. But what else should we expect from the World's number one department store?! (TM)

Shoot: Collections Story SS11

Photography by Tomas Falmer
Styling by Frank Strachan

In the new issue out now!

We're So Proud

A talent like Frank Strachan shouldn't be wasted. That's why we're glad he's really pushed the styling here for Kimberly Walsh's Diet Now cover.

Just Dandy!

Thank you for sending this to us this morning lovely people at the V&A.
A book about the rise of Dandyism in the 1960s and edited by Geoffrey Aquilina Ross, former editor of British Vogue, which will be released to celebrate Menswear Day during Fashion Week.
We will have our own special celebration with a line of tequila shots.

Blogger/Shop Collab

H&M have collaborated with a Swedish blogger to make a capsule range of clothing. Which is all well & good except it's reasonably dull. We would like to do a collaboration with Romain Kremer. Taking inspiration from his SS collection & fuse it with banana prints from Prada. We would charge only £5 a t-shirt & we would sell it on a market stall. Any offers?

SS Campaign Watch!

Bottega Veneta Shot by Alex Pragner. We love the bright blue sky.
It looks nothing like the sky we've been seeing for the past month *cries*.

Versace. Looks like a magic eye!

DSquared2 with Reid Prebenda. Thought they might have exploited the 70s theme a bit more..

Dolce & Gabbana shot by Steven Klein & featuring some of our favourite models; David Gandy, Sam Webb & Tony Ward's been dug up again.

Louis Vuitton Host A Cup & It's in San Fransisco This Year.

We're not sure exactly what that means (as sport isn't really our bag baby) Louis Vuitton sponsor a cup, we think it involves boats & it is being held in San Fransisco in 2013. On a separate note, We would like Louis Vuitton to sponsor the London Olympics in the mean time.
Add a bit of glamour.

Camp Attack!

We spotted these shirts in Selfridges last week, winking at us. They are a collaboration between Acne & Candy magazine ('The Worlds first transversal magazine') & are available in either silk crepe or Italian denim. We love that the shirts are names after characters from Dynasty; the puffy sleeved number is called Krystal, the shirt adorned with ruffles at the neck & sleeves is called Sammy Jo & of course the pussy bow is called Alexis.

Boys From Brazil

40 Graus modelling agency in Brazil sent us these pictures of one of their most recent castings.
That's pretty much it. Ooh muscley...

Time After Time

These babies are by Marc Jacobs & are his first foray into watches for men & we are very fond of them. The clear one with blue is our current crush.
The first drop is in February with another following in May.

Harry From McFly Cover Shoot

We put him in Bottega Veneta & DSquared2 but then decided less was more.
That's just how we roll.

For No Other Reason..

Than we love this photo. The colours are great, it's etheral. It's got a Disney castle in it.
Add it to your Spring Summer mood boards.

Ryan Bertroche

We really like Ryan Bertroche from Nevs. He recently starred in our October shoot photographed by Matthias Vriens-McGrath & has been shot for Calvin Klein & Frankie Morello. The End.

Glitter Bum

We're not sure exactly whats happening with Shirtology, who wowed us with extreme undies way back... We've been receiving random contact from them for the last year, this glitter bum being the latest, and we love it - whats not to love?

Theres nothing hotter

Than a hot man in a simple grey marl sweater.
Asos tow the line, with this wardrobe staple.

Spray us with your hose Baptiste...

We wont squeal with delight. Much.
Chanel's ss11 campaign. Baptiste in all his wet t-shirt glory.

Pirelli Calender Hotness

Thanks Karl Lagerfeld. We will alternate with our boys from the Dieux du Stad.

In Store!

Department stores are starting to look bare, in that no mans land after the sales before the new season deliveries. But...wait a minute...Selfridges...London's Oxford Street branch.
New In! The first time Christopher Shannon's collection has been available in store in the UK. About Bloody Time. Come on the rest of our department stores, start supporting the new breed of Menswear design talent the UK is offering!

Christopher Shannon SS11 @ Selfridges!

Spring Summer 2011 collection now available in store and online at Selfridges, for a limited period! Buy now before the horrid 'sold out' takes over. See the pieces in our new issues 20 page collections story. Those chinos are fantabulous!

Firetrap!!!

Stood in a confined space, in pitch black and a feeling of claustrophobia enhanced by a stuttering strobe overtook us. But then fading spotlights pointed out Firetraps offering for next Winter (yes,.. already!!!!) on thirty or so models surrounding us.
Perfect tough urban apparel for a cold snap.

Pet Peeve

We love shopping online, especially on a nasty rainy day as today, from the comfort of under our duvets. However. Surely when an item sells out it should disappear? Why is the image left there, teasing and taunting us. Winds. Us. Up.

A Few Days Late But

Maison Martin Margiela wishes you a Happy New Year.

Excuse Us But...

Why are the style press berating R.Pattz for not being suited & booted at The People's Choice Awards? Sure he looks good in a tux but at least he's wearing Dries Van Noten SS &
he looks fucking hot in it! Give your stylist a raise.

He Came To Our Office Today

He wore a bit more clothing & had slightly less stubble. We like his scar. It was probably when he saved a woman from a burning building or something equally manly
(wrestling a shark our second option) His name is Mark & he is from M&P models.

'And If You Don't Respect It, I'll Kick With My Jimmy Choos'

That is a Sugababes lyric people & now we will be able to sing it proud without mocking as Jimmy Choo is presenting it's first Men's collection for AW11 next week at Milan Fashion Week
& will be available at a handful of selected stores across the globe.
We're keeping our fingers crossed for The Kingsland Shopping Centre in Dalston.
(The ones above were from the H&M collaboration last year BTW)

Leather Up

This jacket from Jofama is rather nice don't you think? A leather jacket is a good transitional item that you can pretty much wear all year. So well worth forking out a bit.

Jake Is Single!

Taylor, Reece, Anne; None of you deserve him!

Campaign Watch: Givenchy

By sheer co-incidence we are wearing leopard print too.
Will it be a trend for Men this year?
We can only hope.

Tom Ford Eyewear SS Campaign

A more clothing than we're used to for a Tom Ford campaign. But very nice nonetheless.

Really?

We're not opposed to Aaron Johnson at all. We think Sam Taylor Wood has done good & we would be happy to see him half naked in our magazine. However we're a little disconcerted with GQ's Best Dressed Men list which has just been published placing him at the top.
From our initial search of Google dot com we have found little to inspire, though we agree he looks nice in a suit. Male celebrities have access to some of the world's best brands yet they never really ever take risks unlike our friends on the street.
It makes us weep.

Sunspel Sale

& it's 30% off. Much like this model's clothes.

Lolz

Frank Strachan our Fashion Director is a hard man to please so Levi's should pat themselves on the back for making a jacket that makes Frank so god damn jolly all the time.
We think it's the shearling collar tickling his neck.

A Late Christmas Message

We can safely say this is the last time we will mention Christmas for quite some time.
(Until we have to start working on the December issue in July at least) We saw this Louis Vuitton card in Grazia over the holidays & felt proper left out. However there was one each waiting for us this morning. All is right with the world.

Socks & The City

We arrived back at Attitude Towers this morning to find the spot of snow we had before Christmas had slowed Santa down, meaning we were welcomed back with a pile of gifts that would shame The Beckhams. We like these socks from Fly53. They are jazzy.
