Ideal for hybrid days of outdoor play and S&M (standing and modeling, please!), these hi-top sneaks/sandals have enough lace breadth to really hold it down. Kris Van Assche, a Royal Antwerp Academy graduate and Yves Saint Laurent and Dior Homme alum, his eye for dressing up menswear is finely tuned. By paring down this one sneaker on, he’s made it mightily refined.

“As one of the most important French fashion houses, Yves Saint Laurent today possesses formidable potential, which I am confident will be successfully harnessed and revealed through the vision of Hedi Slimane.” — François-Henri Pinault, chairman and chief executive officer of PPR, Yves Saint Laurent’s parent company.

Well, I can safely say I didn’t see this coming. On the heels of Raf Simons exiting Jil Sander, Stefano Pilati, long-plagued by rumors of replacement, has departed from Yves Saint Laurent. And it seems that designer turned photographer Hedi Slimane will once again turn designer and slip into Pilati’s recently vacated shoes.

VICE, always willing to go above and beyond for their purely unironic love of fashion, responded to the Occupy Wall Street movement in their own unique way by styling four male models à la American Psycho‘s completely deranged but still completely bangable Patrick Bateman. Dressed in Dior Homme and Vivienne Westwood suits while brandishing caviar, their smug good looks and signs like “Suck 1% of My Dick,” and “It’s Not My (De)Fault,” the boys went down to Zuccotti Park to hang out with the 99%. And luckily, no one ended up with a chainsaw through their back.

I’ve got at least two new items to add to my Birthday/Christmas wish list and Lindsay proves it can be easy being chic while lying through your teeth under oath. And a rap icon’s body turns cold without having his gat explode.

Rei Kawakubo, the brilliant mind behind Comme des Garçons, is typically almost as quiet as Martin Margiela. However, there being nothing typical about her, she’s let WWD into her black-clad world. She talks about her new Beijing store, what new designers are doing wrong, and the growing strain to create something undeniably new.

The second my pants become too short on my legs, they wind up on the racks of a Salvation Army or Goodwill. But if the Fall 2010 menswear collections in Paris and Milan taught me anything, it’s that flood water pants are going to be huge this fall. Designers and labels like Dior Homme, Junya Watanabe and Rick Owens showed a variety of short, flood-water pants and slacks in their Fall 2010 collections.
But you’ve got to be careful with this one otherwise you’ll end up looking like you’re too poor for new pants! Rock the floody pants with a pair of nice patterned or solid socks and oxfords or boots. Lots of layers and accessories will make the floody pants look trendy and intentional instead of dorky and accidental.
