PLEASE DON'T FEED OR HIRE THE MODELS

Jim Nelson is taking a page right out of AnnER's playbook and making GQ very celebrity driven.

Instead of hiring Kerry, Baptiste, or Chad, Nelson & Co. decided to employ actors to showcase designer wares in the March issue.

Readers may recognize Sam Page, Joel McHale, or Chevy Chase.

Hmmmm.

Somewhere out there Noah's (Mill) and Garrett's (Neff) pocketbooks and bank accounts are crying......

TREND WATCH

For S/S 2011, The Men's Store is obsessed with the flare at the bottom of the trouser that Salvatore Ferragamo is offering.

We want all  of our pants for this season with this cut--ALL!!

So refreshing for Spring.

We offer the second image to show how the fabric moves down the runway.

Call us, obsessed-- for this pant!!

Fabulous, darling

GO GO-ING LOO LOO FOR SPRING

One of our perennial favorites Mark Vanderloo for Boss S/S 2011.

We were so mad for him during (well really, before-during-and after)  his reign with the DKNY campaigns of the 90s.

He was a part of that whole male supermodel pack with  Jason Lewis and  Alex Lundqvist.  Mmmmmm mmmmph.

What a wonderful iconic period:  Gucci--Tom Ford era; Fendi's baguette bags, VOGUE's INDEX debuted; Mamma M's  Ray of Light album.

OMO: ON MY OWN

POST MARK:

Readers already know that we adore Brad Goreski.  He's a breath of fresh fashion in a landscape of dullards and wannabes.  He's always impeccably dressed and groomed.   Always appropriate. No scrub, no schlub. A handsome guy to bring home to mom.

Since leaving a well known Hollywood stylist, Brad's new career started with a chapter  in styling for Kate Spade's F/W 2011-12 show.

He loves bows, the models had bows.  He likes school girl cardigans, the show had cardigans.  He likes animal print, the show had animal print.  He likes elbow-length gloves (in animal print), the models wore elbow-length gloves in animal print.

His imprint left the models impeccably styled.  Studied. And, gender specific, read:   girly.

Fabulous, darling

AROUND THE MULBERRY TREE

There are cute lads in London to begin with, but during  Fashion Week, the cuties tend to be out in full force.

Some adorable men at the Mulberry apres show at Claridge's.

HUMOR MILL

There's no shades of gray with AnnER Wintour.  People either love or loathe the impeccably groomed and well-clothed  editrix.

Same goes with the rumors, either very vicious or lathery lovely.

Lisa Hanawalt illustrates a HIGHlarious panel of the most inane rumors about VOGUE's HBIC.

We bet The Ms. does not find this aMUSEing in the least!!

WHAT'S OLD IS NEW

THE SAME OL', SAME OL':

Invitations to Michael Kors F/W 2011-12 arrived with this photo of how Kors looked in 1981.

While women's fashion can change drastically from season to season, menswear has NOT moved one iota in 30 years (proof is in that picture!!).

Is it too much to ask men's designers to jump on the fashion train and come up with some ground breaking designs.  Think outside the box!!!  The same shirt designs, the same jean designs, the same sports coat designs in a different fabric, a slight dart here or there is not new fashion or groundbreaking--IT IS BORING!

It's 2011, aren't we supposed to be in V-like jumpsuits  or 2001: A Space Odyssey white?  Designers:   don't just laugh at those costumes on TV or film, try designing them, try putting a spin on them--just do them.  Give us something new!!  

Adding a bigger flap pocket and huge stitching with white thread is NOT groundbreaking, we're talking to you True Religion or slimmer, skinnier suits for the office, we're talking to you Prada.

In the sixties, designers were looking to the future:  female liberation,  with the mini skirt; Courreges drew inspiration from space travel to create clothes with circles, squares,  triangles.

Come on Prada, Gucci and Marc Jacobs find inspiration in the next liberation:  gay rights.  Look up in the sky and design what we would wear to travel to Nebula 555.  Think outside the box!  Break some new ground!!

SOAP BOX

PROFESSIONAL BEAUTY:

"The key is to have a good makeup artist to help you when you go from show to show.....Also, no matter how drunk or hung-over you are, wash your face. You only get one shot with your skin,"  Olympian Johnny Weir offers a few of his tips for Fashion Week in NYC.

EN VOGUE

FRONT ROW FIERCE:

VOGUE editors are en masse at the Donna Karan Fall 2011-12 collection.

We have Andre Leon Talley, Alexandra Kotur, Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington, Virginia Smith and Tonne Goodman (not shown).

Kotur showed up late and squeezed herself between Wintour and Talley--leaving Talley to smirk, look away and be very annoyed.
