Bruce Weber Thinks There Could Be Some Gay Smooching in Future Abercrombie Ads

MIAMI–Last night, part-time Miami resident Bruce Weber hosted a signing for his new book, All-American Volume Twelve: A Book of Lessons amidst of Art Basel-mania at The Standard.

While party guests including Chelsea Handler–who attended with her beau, hotelier Andre Balazs–Riccardo Tisci and Anouck Lepere sipped tequila in the Standard’s waterfront garden, we caught up with Weber for some questions about the inspiration behind All-American, working with Grace Coddington, and whether we can expect a gay kiss in an Abercrombie ad anytime soon.

We, on the other hand, started to think about what would happen if other design houses were to do the same.

How’d she do it all? With some seriously genius self-marketing skills.

Asian Beauty Products That Might Just Save Your Skin: Okay, so maybe they won’t save your skin, but they’re certainly bizarre and intriguing enough to warrant a test-run. From charcoal shampoo to a chin contour mask to collagen-boosting marshmallows, we’re curious to see what will be first to hit the shelves of Sephora first (or, alternatively, be banned by the FDA).

Model-Turned-Actress, Everybody’s Doing It: Models are good looking people, and so are actresses. Actresses appear on magazine covers, and so do models. So it makes sense that models might whet their palates and give acting a try, right? Right. We rounded up the many, many models who have transitioned from runway to silver screen and analyzed how seamlessly and successfully they made the jump.

AE and A+F: Under Pressure

It’s hard to believe that the term “fast fashion” wasn’t even in our vocabulary just a few years ago. Stores like H&M, Zara and now Topshop – which operate on a business model based on getting new shipments in stores and in front of our grabbing hands more often than Little J changes her lipstick Read more →
