Blackface Is The New Black In L’Officiel Hommes

Ah, blackface. It’s baaack. Apparently, as magazine sales plummet, editors try ever more provocative ways to grab the attention of readers on and offline. The latest? This decidedly politically incorrect spread in L’Officiel Hommes in which a bunch of Caucasian male models get painted a darker shade and outfitted with Afro wigs in order to pantomime being African-American. The racially charged, er, “story” is entitled “Keep It Goin’ Louder,” although what that has to do with racial passing is unclear. Get a gander at the rest after the jump and then sound off in the comments. Keep reading »

Meet My New Boyfriend: Ruslan

Maybe you have a case of the Mondays? Not me! Meet my new boyfriend. His name is Ruslan, and he is hot. I don’t know anything about him other than that. Anyway, when I woke up this morning, there he was, in my bed. It was like something out of a dream. And yet it seemed so real. So, he rolled around in his Alexis Mabille underpants while I made this video of him. I thought I’d share it with the rest of you poor, less fortunate souls. Jealous? Yes, yes you are. I’ll tell him you said hello. (Not.) [Fashin] Keep reading »

Fashion Trend Watch: Male Models With Boners

In “Work Hard Play Hard,” Vice magazine kicks off what is sure to be the latest in fashion layout trends: male models sporting erections. Sure, the tie is great. Absolutely, what guy wouldn’t want to own that suit? And nothing says, “I’m worth it,” like a well-fitted pair of slacks. But what makes the man is the inappropriate, fully-clothed boner, isn’t it? I’m sure you would agree. Honestly, I don’t know who came up with this concept, but I think it is patently hilarious. Here’s to hoping it takes off, and the pages of GQ and Esquire are filled with men whose penises point the way in their pants. [Vice] Keep reading »

It’s That Time Of Year, Folks

Exciting news, guys. Fashion Weeks are upon us — it’s men’s fashion week right now, so NYC women’s ready-to-wear is right around the corner — and you know what that means. Two words, my friends: Models. Falling. Even though I’ve personally argued against laughing, there’s just no denying that there’s nothing more fascinating (not to mention schadenfreude-inducing) than seeing any one of the great beauties of the world fail at, well, what is basically glorified walking. Never has that been more apparent to me until this dude went down at Vivienne Westwood. That’s all I got to say here. [Stylelist] Keep reading »

Male Models Feast On Knuckle Sandwiches

It’s men’s fashion week, and evidently, distressed denim is so 2009. Hot model-y dudes marched down the Dsquared2 runway looking like they got their asses (and faces) kicked before the show started. But what does it all mean? [Milan, 1/19/10] Keep reading »

Introducing “Twilight” Manties Model Kellan Lutz

What does Marky Mark of The Funky Bunch have in common with Emmett from “Twilight“? Manties! Kellan Lutz will be slipping on the boxer-briefs Mark Wahlberg made famous for Calvin Klein in the ’90s. From what we’ve seen, Lutz is quite photogenic and his abs are poppin’, but can he fill the shoes underwear of the beefed-up rapper-turned-model-turned-actor? You be the judge when the campaign comes to a billboard near you soon. [NYMag] Keep reading »

What About The Male Models?

Maybe it’s because, in this post-Zoolander society, no one takes male modeling very seriously. But maybe—shocker—it’s because skinny male models just aren’t as widespread a problem as skinny female models. Keep reading »

Apparently, Men’s Sample Sizes Run Teeny-Tiny, Too

Most designer clothing for women is sized ridiculously small (we’re looking at you, Alexander Wang), and the sample sizes that dress the models on the runway can be even more petite. It hadn’t really occurred to us that the same extreme proportions would apply to male models until New York magazine revealed that the Olympic fencer Jason Rogers was cut as a walker from Louis Vuitton‘s Paris show because he couldn’t fit into the pants. Come on, this Hottie McHotterson is too fat for the runway? Keep reading »

J.Crew Finds Real Men To Obsess Over

Forget those perfect male models with their minimal body fat and flawless hair. J.Crew is here to show that real guys are what’s hot now, and we wholeheartedly agree. For their November catalog, 11 real men were chosen to model in “The Real Guy’s Style Guide.” It’s all thanks to one guy, hotelier Sean Macpherson, who complained about the cashmere. Jenna Lyons, J.Crew’s senior vice president of women’s design, stepped in to help, and after noticing what a hottie he was, asked him to be our man candy. Joining Macpherson are ten other dudes, including musician Smitty, author Tom Folsom, designers Byron & Dexter and filmmaker Lee Daniels. They dish details about their lives in handwritten Q&As and model iconic J.Crew items. Go to the J.Crew site now to drool.

We also have to say, that’s some customer service department they’ve got there. [WWD]

Your Grandpa Is A Total Supermodel

Fashion houses are getting creative with their models. First we saw kitties modeling United Bamboo dresses and skirts, then a U.K. dog model (with a contract to boot!) … now, the newest “it” models: goofy grandfather types. For their fall/winter 2009 lookbook, UNUSED dressed up the sweetest older man to sell their clothes. That’s him, above. Personally, I love the guy—there are only so many 28-inch-waisted, high-cheekboned male models one can take. Check out more, after the jump! Keep reading »
