TRENDSPARK: Men In Color-blocking



As dictated by Raf Simons in Thomas Lohr’s spread for GQ Style Germany #16 Fall 2009, color-blocking isn’t just for the ladies! I didn’t think color-blocking would be flattering, let alone masculine, on the guys, but by the looks of these incredible Simons pieces, I’m liking the looks of it! Keep your eyes peeled for the color-blocked suits, because I can see these bad boys hitting mass market sooner rather than later!
Thanks Coute Que Coute!
SPREAD UM: GQ Style Hearts Karl Lagerfeld

GQ Style just had a spread that very Karl Lagerfeld inspired. The shoot features a lot of Chanel pieces, and a blazer with the legendary designers face on it.

Tom Ford Has Penis Envy

“As much as I’ve tried, it has been consistently harder to get images of nude men onto magazine pages and billboards than it has nude women. There’s a double standard at play here: magazines that are happy to fund ads featuring an artfully-lit female nude will balk at an image of her male counterpart.” Tom Ford on the “real” penis envy.
The designer recently curated an issue of GQ Style (pict above) and was shocked when he found, “They censored all the penises!”
“I was really pissed off about that. That wasn’t why I got [involved]. It was supposed to be full-frontal male nudity, which was the way we shot it, and then the magazine censored all that!”
“Because I find the human body beautiful. I don’t find sex objectionable. Violence is objectionable.”
We couldn’t agree with you more Ford.
