Scott Schuman, the diminutive dictator behind The Sartorialist, has a reputation for being….sort of a…dick. And in the June issue of GQ, he takes a moment from bullying Tavi Gevinson to rain a few F-bombs all over the magazine industry, Dolce & Gabbana and the president of Saks Fifth Ave.

The fine women you see below jamming on their American opus Shiny Gun are the band Open Ocean. All with southern roots and Brooklyn homes, they also all happen to be independent jewelry designers. Let me introduce to you: Dirty Librarian Chains on the keys, SFK on guitar and main vocals, Cheek-ie on drums. Basil Whatley grooves on bass and is also from the south, but does not make jewelry, and thus not in the shot. Though he is a badass graphic designer. I crashed their rehearsal the other night at Sound City in Williamsburg, and caught a short vid of the waves of cool funk and post-punk disco rising in the intimate practice space. Pardon any rockiness, it was making my body bounce.

Jack of all fashionable trades and modern-day Renaissance man Milan Vukmirovic describes his new bi-annual magazine, Fashion for Men, as “very elegant, simple, modern and,” above all, “masculine.” Truly, its 620 pages are dripping in testosterone with collaborations from guest of honor Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci (hence the snarling rottweiler on the cover) and streetstyle auteur Tommy Ton and the manliest of them all, Anna Dello Russo – the only (alleged) woman in the mag . This Male Model Humpday, we take a look inside the mega-tome’s premier issue with three strapping spreads starring Chris Moore, Eric Puzio, Ian Mellencamp and one of our fave gents, Travis Cannata.

Bitches came to werq this week. Part of the joy of Fashion Week is that we tighten it up and put out our greatest. Sunday best every damn day. Droves of street style bloggers and reporters brought out the big guns and snapped it all up to show the world what happens outside of Lincoln Center. Some of the outdoor photogs are sourcing these looks to bring back to their companies to replicate, that’s how much we’re turning it. See the standouts of The Werqing Class.

Online super retailer Net-a-Porter asked a panel of industry experts, including Paper Magazine‘s Mickey Boardman, gal about town and Harper’s Bazaar Editor-at-Large Derek Blasberg and Bloglovin’ founder Mattias Swenson to select their top ten favorite blogs. If FashionIndie hadn’t done enough coke at 54 to powder the nose of every actress in Hollywood ten times over thus rendering all emotions dead below the larynx, our feelings would be super hurt right now. Check out the list below, if you care to (you shouldn’t).

Tommy’s first assignment for Paris Vogue was shooting Tavi for the Une fille un style pages. He flew to her home in Chicago and took some very ‘silly’ photos. “I SPENT THE ENTIRE DAY AT TAVI’S HOME AND WE HAD LOTS OF FUN PLAYING DRESS-UP AND TAKING SILLY PICS.”

Tommy Ton, the genius behind Jak&Jil, is mad at Jimmy Choo claiming the 24:7 campaign is too similar to his own work. “Is it me or does the jimmy choo 24:7 campaign look a lot like…ahem…you know what i mean :S.”
