Hilfiger’s New Man: Word is Peter Som might be hired on as a consultant at Tommy Hilfiger. He wouldn’t be our first guess, but he makes a helluva a lot more sense than Miguel Adrover who was apparently on the short list. {WWD}

Reader Jen found this familiar looking pink and orange dress by a brand called Single on the Cusp website. (In case you don’t live in one of the few cities with a Cusp it’s basically Neiman Marcus’ answer to Barneys Co-op.)

Anyway, since she was so obsessed with the Christian Dior resort original that Eva Mendes wore to the house’s Spring 08 couture show, she placed it immediately.

And since that picture ran everywhere for months, because Eva looked drop dead amazing, it’d be kind of hard for anyone remotely into either fashion or Eva not to realize that it’s a total rip of Galliano’s fitted-on-top, poufy-on-the bottom sherbet creation.

Yes, you’d have a hard time finding the original Dior a year later, but that doesn’t mean you should spend $300 on the copy.

Walking on Houston the other day, I noticed a change on the perennial Calvin Klein billboard: men. Good bye naked Eva Mendes, hello guys and girls in jeans.

Then last night on Bleecker, I spied a sparkly jacket and jeans in the window of Cynthia Rowley, for men.

Not to mention both Nicolas and Roland Mouret (re-)adding menswear to their repertoire.

And, Scott Schuman’s recent editorial in Fantastic Man features Chanel menswear.

All of this, coupled with the fact that my best friend (a girl) keep stealing my clothes, the preponderance of boyfriend jeans, and Band of Outsiders, Michael Bastian, and Thom Browne showing up in Vogue on women and men have me thinking that we’re having a manly moment.

Am I nuts, or does it seem like menswear is the new womenswear?

Is Eva Mendes fashion’s next exhibitionist?

First she posed on the cover of (now defunct) Jane with just a couple flower bunches for a bra.

Then more recently, she posed for a Vogue Italia shoot that had people writing headlines like “Eva Mendes Does Topless and Toe-lickin’ “.

And now, her new ad for Calvin Klein’s Secret Obsession is (so far) banned from television networks for baring way too much of just her, once again.

All she needs now is for Juergen Teller to snap a naked Polaroid of her and she’s all set to be the next Lily Cole…

“However this story shows what a great model Eva is…[She’s] taking advantage of the props at her disposal. Her right hand gracefully holds her cigarette. She is aware of the dangers of smoking but doesn’t care.” - Women Management Blog on Eva Mendes’ Steven Meisel Vogue Italia shoot.

Calvin Klein can’t get enough of Eva Mendes these days.

They named her the face of their perfume, showered her with post-rehab presents and just named her the new body of their underwear line.

Tom Murray, the president and CEO of Calvin Klein, told Vogue UK, “We are trying to get across that these new products are for fuller busted, shapelier kinds of women.”

It’s a big leap for a company that’s glorified waif-like figures like Kate Moss and Natalia Vodianova who barely even need a bra.

Now that they’re embracing voluptuous women for their underwear campaign, can we get some curvy girls on the runway too?
