The tuxedo can be a problem area for men who shudder at pomp and circumstance—for men who thrive on edge. At this year’s CFDA Awards in New York, photographer Tommy Ton captured a few trendsetters who found a balance of both worlds, and who might make you think twice about the tux (below).

Oak wants to take you to the dark side.
To celebrate Fashion Week, Oak has invited some of its favorite local indies, like Vena Cava, Philip Crangi, and Black Sheep and Prodigal Sons, to explore their inner kinks and create limited-edition pieces evoking the idea of bondage. The result is a limited edition collection that will be showcased starting on the 8th for a show called “Bond Age”.
Naughty fashionista’s can find pieces inspired by spanking, voyeurism, and a little S&M at Oak. Be sure to head to the premiere party to get a little extra dirty with cocktails from Belvedere Vodka.
Thanks to Refinery29 for spotting this delectable event.

The Gap’s new collection featuring 3.1 Phillip Lim, Band of Outsiders, threeASFOUR, Michael Bastian and Philip Crangi jewelry has hit stores today. Above, chicks from NYLON rock the looks, further proving that NYLON’s staff lacks style (sorry lady but white rimmed glasses are SOOO Chloe Sevigny circa 2004 it hurts). I really, really want everything from the mens side of this collection since it’s the first time Gap is releasing mens goodies from Michael Bastian.
I will be at the Gap today, as should you, sad, yet uberly true.

Unlike last years collection, which featured Doo.Ri, Rodarte and Thakoon, this collection will expand beyond womens white tees and feature menswear and jewelry.
