John Varvatos Gets Down to The Roots

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 12:33:03 +0000

The Roots, the Grammy-winning, ass-kicking, Jimmy Fallon-backing hip hop band from Philly, will be the collective faces of John Varvatos‘ Fall 2011 campaign.

“I’ve been a huge fan of The Roots for years,” says Varvatos, “They are one of the most innovative musical forces on the planet.”

True story. Also, Black Thought, most underrated MC. There, I said it.

Danny Clinch shot The Roots at Republic Airport in New York right as they were getting off the plane — an homage to how rock stars traveled in the 70s. Creative director Stephen Niedzwiecki explains:

“The way The Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and The Beatles traveled had a huge impact on the direction for this season’s campaign…Led Zeppelin’s plane had fireplaces built in. So that’s what inspired us to shoot them in that way.”

And that’s why Led Zeppelin is fucking awesome. Anyhoo, in addition to the airport scenario there are other “image-based” shots that will debut in the September issues of GQ, Esquire, Vanity Fair, Details and other fash mags.

And as a special treat, The Roots threw together a little impromptu number on the tarmac:

Evan Rachel Wood Talks Tattoos & Being Bisexual In Esquire

McArthur Joseph — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 19:37:01 +0000

Evan Rachel Wood has come a long way from playing a confused and semi psychotic preteen in the 2003 movie Thirteen. She recently stripped down and opened up in the latest issue of Esquire about her ink, past relationships, and sexuality.

On her relationship with Marilyn Mason:

“I think one of the things that freaked people out so much is that we looked so different.”

On dating women:

“Yeah, I’m more kind of like the guy when it comes to girls. I’m the dominant one…I’m opening the doors, I’m buying dinner. Yeah, I’m romantic.”

Wood is certainly a fascinating individual and an amazing actress. It’s good to know that know can be candid and real.

And in one last ditch effort to save print, Esquire is launching an “Augmented Reality” issue featuring Robert Downey Jr. The issue is using the same technology used to produce the yellow first down line in football to produce an interactive issue. The codes (like the one shown on the cover) will display video or commentary from Robert Downey Jr. throughout the issue, and even include a Lexus ad.
