ADDICT: Rock & Republic
Rock & Republic spiced up their new ads with a little bit of raw sex appeal. Too bad you’re still Rock & Republic and no one cares about you. If I’m paying $250 for jeans I don’t want some mega boot cut, crap jeans with gaudy back pocket details.

SPREAD: Knoepfel & Indlekofer For Z Magazine
I love photo shoots like this. The girls looks gorgeous and the guys look tough, it’s perfect. I love how they kept that edgy look but used significantly dressy clothes.

SPREAD UM: “Santa Monica, CA” Behati Prinsloo for Flair
This spread gives you a good look at the Prada over the knee wellies (out of the water!) and plenty of other thigh high boots – pretty unexpected on the beach. The tousled hair and bulky sweaters are more fitting, especially on breezy beach nights, my personal favorite time to visit. This laid back spread was shot by Matthias Vriens-McGrath.

PRINT IS DEAD: Conde Nast To Cut Back!!!

- Budget reductions of around 25% at Details, Traveler, Glamour, Gourmet, and Teen Vogue.
- Unknown budget cuts at the rest of the Conde mags—except the New Yorker, which is escaping unscathed, according to the NYO.
- The various mag editors get to determine how to achieve their budget cuts.
- No immediate magazine closures are predicted, but some of the weaker titles may reduce their frequency.
- Layoffs are coming.
I’m going to say it again…Print is DEAD!!

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!
