We sat down with Jeff, Ayad, and Ian of Passion Pit to rattle off a few questions before their set, and found out everything you really wanted to know:

Fashion Indie: So rumor has it you guys are sponsored by Marc Jacobs?

Passion Pit (looking shocked): No, we’d like to be sponsored by some dorky stuff (Ayad).

Manager- Marc Jacobs may be sending them some free stuff.

Ian- Usually what happens is that we endorse something, and then we get free stuff, like instruments.

Fashion Indie: Who is the most fashion-conscious member of your band?

PP: (Disagreement) Ian thinks he’s the most fashionable but Jeff and Ayad agree that it’s Mike.  Mike took a fashion class, which is where the name Passion Pit originated from. Fashion Indie agrees that it is most likely Mike.

FI: Cobra Starship did a collaboration with Leighton Meester (who we actually had to explain to the guys that she was from Gossip Girl, they had no idea who she was).  If you could do a collaboration with a celebrity, who would it be?

PP: Beyonce.

Jeff- No Solange.

Manager- …you probably could do that.

Ayad- We should stick with the original.

Jeff- Yeah, we might as well reach for the sky.

FI: Have you guys seen the movie Bruno? (No, not yet). If he were to style your next photo shoot, would it be the full velcro suit? Or the kilt with angel wings from the MTV VMAs?

PP: Neither, the banana hammock

FI: If you were to do a collaboration product or line with Diesel, what would it be?

PP (after some muttering, something about not liking the pricing too much, I think):

Ayad- I’d do more stuff for broad shouldered, shorter guys. (Clearly making reference to his stature).

FI: Alright, last question; who had better style as a TV father figure, Mike Brady or Bill Cosby?

PP (In up-roaring agreement): Bill Cosby, he had a bad ass sweater collection.

Passion Pit put on a killer performance. Corey is uploading videos to the Fashion Indie Youtube channel as I type! Check out more photos from their performance on Cult

After being convinced by Corey and friends that going to Jersey with them was a good idea, we decided to go to the mall and see Bruno.  There were a plethora of zeroes to be found, but my phone wouldn’t let me capture them all. At least she matches? 

Attention twitterverse: Universal is mad that no one is going to see movies because everyone is tweeting 140 character opinions about how all of the movies out right now suck.

“According to social media specialists, Universal is mad at you for driving away 73% percent of Bruno’s ticket sales! When movie-goers take to their micro-blogging sites and hurl instant critiques at helpless studios, all their marketing machinery is rendered impotent. Some of this summer’s alleged victims have included Bruno, Land of the Lost, and Year One.”

To quote ‘ohnotheydidnt’:

“So really there’s only one way to combat the Twitter effect: Stop making shitty movies.”

Nice.

You saw Bruno on Marie Claire, but now it’s time to see just a bit more of him on the cover of Attitude Magazine for July 2009.

A simple color palette, but amazing none the less. Dolce & Gabbana DUH! (reference Bruno for proper effect).

I almost fainted dead away into my Malt-O-Meal and Easy Mac when I saw these pics of Sacha Baron Cohen or should I say “Bruno” doin the googley eyed fool, snap in a circle three times somebody. My poor innocent virgin eyes have been violated and I didn’t even use my Pay Pal account to pay for it this time. I haven’t been this disgusted since Fergie made hot mustard colored piss on stage in her guachos, this is not fashion Indiez! I’m all for people promoting there wares but we’ve clearly crossed over into unsavory territory…………..unsavory and stank!

I know who’s to blame, it’s that Bobby Trendy’s fault what with his platformed foot apparatuses and random chiffon scraps, reprobate! Let’s pour out a little liquor for my homiez that will die when they take a look at these pale gamey clenched cakes. I hope Cohen catches a glittery rash of that swine ‘fever’ all up and down his taint for this foolishness and I hope it really, really buuuuurrrrnnnsss. I really don’t appreciate turning on my computer and gettin a face full of bedazzled man buns, this ain’t Chelsea!

I’m over the funny factor of Bruno, I’m sorry, but I’m over it. I would have rather had Ed Westwick on the cover. Just saying, I think this spread is gross and disturbing. Check out the rest of the spread on Cult.

A few Bruno quotes from the mag:

Dear Brüno, how can I get some “Efron hair”? Or at least some “Pattinson hair”? Ich vouldn’t bother getting a Zac Efron hairstyle right now, cos ich am about to change mine and he’s certain to copy me again. In terms of grooming, ze only thing he hasn’t copied me with ist getting his ballensack pierced— vell, he hadn’t had it done ze last time ich saw him.

Dear Brüno, what do you sleep in? In reality, ich sleep in a seaweed body wrap
under a Zac Posen Navy-Cut Nightshirt. In mein dreams, ich sleep naked in a giant reed basket drifting slowly down ze Nile, cradled in ze arms of Daniel Radcliffe.

Dear Brüno, is it okay to “manscape” down there? It’s more zan okay; it is most essential. Be careful if you do it yourself, though—yesterday ich tried to self-wax mein arschenhaller
und glued meinself to ze bed. Manscaping ist important, but not as crucial as getting regular anal bleaching. If Brüno didn’t get his schmutziger arschenhaller bleached twice a month, his shtinker vould resemble Dizzy Gillespie during a trumpet solo. In Austria anal bleaching ist considered so important zat it’s paid for by ze state. In fact, you cannot run for office if you don’t have a vhite arschwitz. Indeed, ex-chancellor Kurt Waldheim vas elected on ze back of a prishtine anus. Zere are added benefits to getting ze bleaching—on my last session, mein beautician, Klaus, found ze long-lost head of a David Beckham action figure up zere.

Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio and Sacha Baron Cohen’s character Bruno are styled based on the famous 80’s Versace ad campaign for the July 2009 cover of UK’s Marie Claire.

Sacha Baron Cohen is Bruno, in theaters July 10.

Sacha Baron Cohen continues his reign of terror in Paris when he decided to get penetrate Jean Charles de Castelbajac’s fashion show and did this…

[H]e whipped out a fold out chair, placed it in front of the front rowers and started writing love letters to girls in the audience. Then he jumped on stage shouting into his mobile phone and walked down the catwalk with the last model.

He was also spotted sucking on tampons during Stella McCartney’s show.

Bruno better have some amazing editing cause I can’t imagine any of this being funny if everyone knows who this Cohen is. I almost feel like Borat was one movie that just can’t be imitated and the humor of the “outsider interacting with a strange world” thing isn’t going to get the same laughs twice.

Thanks to The Cut for pointing this out…

For the last six months or so, Sacha Baron Cohen and his alter-ego Bruno have been filming all around the country terrorizing the unknowing masses. So it’s no surprise that the fashionable Austrian showed up at Milan Fashion Week to terrorize the unknowing fashion masses. The above image is Bruno crashing the Agatha Ruiz de la Prada fashion show.

Well last night photographer Greg Kessler caught Cohen outside the Versace show unable to get in. Bruno was dressed in all McQueen, naturally. Kessler reports that Bruno was seen frantically making phone calls and crying into his mobile phone trying to get into the show while be

Sacha Baron Cohen, star of Borat, is lining up a new list of offended plaintiffs as he films scenes for his new movie Bruno, based off his gay Austrian journalist character from the Ali G show.

Universal ponied up more than $42 million for “Bruno” and is eyeing an October release, so it may not be coincidence that suspicious news and video from Kansas surfaced in late March. Local papers and the Associated Press all seemed fooled, soberly reporting about a fuss at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport.

Members of a film crew “had permission from the airport to film a scene on March 18 based on a ‘European man’ visiting America,” the AP said. “But security workers became concerned when they began dancing in tight short shorts, kissing and fighting in the lobby.”

Dancing in tight short shorts? Kissing and fighting? Oh, yes, this may be the best possible representation of a gay fashion person ever!!!  Get ready for the backlash Sasha!!!
