Fashionista Week In Review: Real Men On Menswear, American Apparel’s Awesome Aging Ad Star and Raf Simons’ Dior Debut

Real Men (Don’t) Wear Runway Menswear: Many of the menswear looks that are sent down runways are outrageous and unwearable, to say the least. We polled men on the streets of New York to see where, if ever, they would wear the codpieces, lace and lobster breastplates.

Introducing Team USA’s Glamourous Gymnasts: Gymnastics is one of our favorite Olympic events (we know we’re not alone!), so after the five girls representing the US were revealed, we took a closer look at who they are and how their make-up routines stack up to their uneven bar routines.

American Apparel’s Latest Controversy: On Monday, we got a hold of images of American Apparel’s latest ads starring a 60+ gray-haired woman named Jacky, complete with obligatory crotch shot and similarly suggestive poses. We talked to Jacky about how the whole modeling gig came about–you’ll love what she had to say!

Haider Ackermann Fall 2012: Autumn Leaves

Haider Ackermann Fall 2012: Autumn Leaves

PARIS–Haider Ackermann knows something about passion. This much is clear from his dreamy fall 2012 collection, shown yesterday in the ornate salons of the Hôtel de Ville.

The show kicked off with subtly elongated silhouettes: tightly fitted maxiskirts, high waisted flared trousers and structured belts set the focus on a feminine waist and played with the trompe-l’oeil effect of endless legs.

The latest person to voice their support for the designer is actress Eva Green, who told Vogue UK, “He will make a comeback, I just know it.” This comes after a string of big-name
industry players have come out to show their support. When asked whether or not Galliano could come back to fashion, Dior’s current head designer (and long-time Galliano collaborator) Bill Gaytten told the Financial Times, “We’ll see. It’s not over until it’s over. I can’t say any more than that right now.” As for Vogue Italy’s always-provocative Editor in Chief Franca Sozzani, she bluntly told The Daily Beast that Dior should, “Hire John Galliano back.”
