Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably noticed that menswear is having a moment. And it’s not just the boys who are benefiting. Now, more than, ever is the time for ladies to start stealing from men’s closets. “I have to admit that I have always been a fan of women’s casual style–from Read more →

Our menswear contributor extraordinaire, Long Nguyen, co-founder and style director of Flaunt magazine, has just wrapped up the menswear shows in Paris. Check out his review of Kim Jones’ nautical-inspired collection (think surf not sailing) for Louis Vuitton; Riccardo Tisci’s usual but nonetheless thrilling collection mixing themes of sex, the Gothic, and Catholicism; and Rei Read more →
We spend most of our time covering womenswear so we delight in the menswear shows because designers tend to take much bigger risks on the runway. Pink lace up bikini briefs? Intricate bondage? Quirky colorful top hats? Koosh-ball-like head coverings? It was all there on the runways of London, Milan and Paris.
So we had to know: What do “real” men think about these outrageous ensembles?
To find out, we reached out to our friends in the media who aren’t fashion-affiliated–like Daniel Edward Rose of The Observer, Jo Piazza of Current TV, who, while a lady it’s true, admits she has the mindset of a 13-year-old boy, and Elie Mystal of our brother site Above the Law. But we didn’t stop there: we hit the streets of NYC to poll all the men we could find about these crazy looks.
Magic Mike opens today. Maybe you’ve heard of this male stripper flick starring the gleaming pecs and chiseled abs of Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer, Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello that every media outlet–us included–can’t get enough of? And, maybe, you are, like us, unabashedly excited to go see it, ASAP?
Hopefully you are. Because to whet your whistle, we’ve rounded up fashion’s own ‘Magic Mikes’–the nearly naked male models strutting the runways right now in Paris. And while the Paris men’s shows are only halfway done, these specimens of male perfection have already graced the runways of London and Milan, oftentimes wearing very little. The beginning of Versace’s spring show and maybe all of Frankie Morello’s are essentially strip-club ready. Have a look. Happy Friday and you’re welcome.
A few hours ago the always outspoken A.P.C. founder Jean Touitou tweeted the following: Milan & Paris fashion weeks look like a 3rd reich fantasy. Aryen shaved legs men sporting shorts. That shit got to stop. You could say the looks above merely reflect the recent trend towards the 1930s and military style, or you Read more →
Long Nguyen is the co-founder and style director of Flaunt. Paris–The question on everyone’s mind prior to Raf Simons’s show last night was whether the newly minted Dior designer would be exhausted by his new duties for the storied house. Simons is showing his debut couture collection for Dior in less than four days–would he Read more →
Could a Kanye West men’s line be in the works?
Maybe, according to Ford Models who recently tweeted: “Is Kanye also doing a menswear show this week in Paris?”
Obviously this is still just a rumor–Kanye’s Twitter was uncharacteristically silent and the rapper has yet to confirm or deny if he will indeed be showing. However Ford Models doesn’t usually make a habit of spreading gossip–perhaps the agency helped supply Yeezy with male models and the menswear line is mere conjecture. So far, anyway.
Band of Outsiders, a brand beloved by cool boys and girls alike, just upped its awesomeness by staging the “Longest Show Ever” to showcase the 2013 spring menswear collection in Paris.

He’s a front row staple at fashion week, counts Anna Wintour as a friend, and has even collaborated on a collection with Rachel Roy, so really it was only a matter of time before Knicks player Amar’e Stoudemire got into the fashion business full-time.
At yesterday’s Calvin Klein event in Milan, Stoudemire told WWD that he was working on a men’s fashion line.
One of the best parts (and my favorite part) of Florence’s famed menswear trade show Pitti Immagine Uomo is the incredible street style on display.
