Highly esteemed women’s wear designer-turned-menswear designer-turned film director Tom Ford made a huge splash late last year when he announced that he’d once again be creating beautiful wares for the fairer sex. His return was marked by a secret show at a salon on Madison Avenue with only 100 of his closest friends in attendance. A video from the show was just released today, almost four

In an unexpected contrast to their minimal "Un peu d'air sur terre" campaign shot by Ellen von Unwerth, Lacoste shot model Lasse Pedersen against a pop art background for Lacoste! Red Label S/S 2010 campaign. While I do acknowledge that it's not the most artistic or creative of ideas,  I have to admit that I've grown a bit tired of all the dark, dreary, homoerotic themes so prevalent in menswear

Long Sleeve Quilted Jacket, Ben Sherman $150 I just can't get enough of the "Heritage" trend that seems to have taken menswear by storm over the past couple seasons. Everywhere you look there's a nod to some sort of traditional, old-English style of dress. Some of it's discreet, and some of it's in your face. Some of it's a modern take on classic, and some of it's just down right original. Take

Check out Arcade Fire's new music video for "The Suburbs" directed by Spike Jonze! This is my favorite song from the recent album and I think they captured the emotion of the track perfectly with Jonze's flawless, but dark, depiction of a gang of youths who carelessly frolic about their suburban neighborhood until they lose their innocence and are forced to grow up. Doesn't it kind of

Granted, Oak's foxtail keychains (for men, mind you) are not exactly the same kind that were sent down the runway, and they don't come in neon colors. However,

If there are two things I love in this world it's (a) Cole Mohr, only one of the best male models of our generation, and (b) oversexed photographer Terry Richardson, the only man in the world with the ability to make a bag of garbage look ridiculously seductive. At first, the pairing of Richardson and H&M seemed a strange one....a low to mid range fast fashion retailer and the same guy who shoots

"My Grandma Vogue & Grandma W, what similar features you have!"In the midst of our current recession, the fashion industry is scaling down significantly. Magazines are reducing their budgets and cutting back on editorial expenses (i.e. photo shoots). Well, apparently cutting back means printing an editorial spread that looks eerily similar to a competing magazine's spread from years past (...

The most successful campaigns tend to make us forget about our meager student checking accounts for just a fleeting moment as we are swept away into the magical world of double-breasted pea coats and perfectly tailored khakis. Our most recent fantasy comes in the form of the latest Band of Outsiders campaign featuring Jason Schwartzman decked out in some of the finest threads known to man. The

The "Hollywood""HAHA!" The laugh I emitted when I first read an article about Quicksilver collaborating with The Standard on a limited-edition line of (wait for it...) boardshorts! There are 4 boardshorts which represent 4 cities (and the 4 Standard Hotel locations): New York, Miami, Downtown L.A, and Hollywood. The inside of each pair features a "city guide" edited by Natas Kaupas and tailored

Elizabeth and JamesTwo of this Fall's most anticipated menswear collections are also, to my dismay, two of the most disappointing. Back in February, Ashley Olsen announced that Elizabeth and James would be adding a men's line to their collection this upcoming Fall; after the huge success of both the Row and Elizabeth and James, I was looking forward to them finally branching into menswear.

I was watching a little television earlier this evening when my attention was drawn to a particular AT&T commercial. What sparked my interest? Well, it wasn't Mary J. Blige (who I barely recognized), and it DEFINITELY wasn't the selection of crappy keyboard phones AT&T was trying to shell out. Rather, it was the print on Blige's tank top which I immediately recognized to be from the Alexander

Alright, so just one more thing before I go on hiatus again (this whole semi-retirement thing just isn't working for me, is it?). I always love looking at New York Magazine's Video Lookbook...it's basically what The Sartorialist would be if he actually featured video. The NY Mag crew camps out in random spots of The City and catches people with the coolest, quirkiest, and most refined style. I

I sure hate that I missed these guys a few weeks ago at the Rock & Roll Hotel in D.C. (tickets sold out super fast). If you haven't heard of them by now they're called Pheonix (you've been formally introduced), they're French--an immediate plus in my book as you all know, and they couldn't possibly be any hotter right now. Hope you're enjoying your hot, humid Richmond summer. Be back soon!UPDATE:

Aside from the film used to open the Gareth Pugh F/W 09 show, this is probably one of the best video presentations I've ever seen. It is becoming more and more common for designers to introduce their collections with video installations

So, although vcuStyle is taking a break for the summer (hey...writers need vacation time, too!), there are just some things I can't keep to myself! For example, Louis Vuitton is opening a concept store in the basement of Japanese department store Seibu tomorrow and it looks OFF THE CHAIN! It's only going to be there for a limited time, though, and while you might be able to find Vuitton in a

OK. So in no way, shape, or form do I consider Paris Hilton to be a style icon. On the contrary, her fashion sense is quite questionable at times (Nikki, on the other hand, usually always gets it right). Anyway, I couldn't help but smile when I saw this picture of her rocking those Eiffel heels from the S/S 09 Yves Saint Laurent collection. I mean, WOW! In Los Angeles?!?!?! It's not often that

Pierre Hardy will be releasing a limited edition unisex sneaker line called "Perspective Cubes". Only 500 pairs will be available worldwide (check Barney's, Dover Street Market, and Corso Como) with a release date set for June 2009. I kinda want to buy a pair so that I can just sit in class and stare at my feet whenever I get bored.

Following their collaboration with Alexander McQueen (which was pretty boss, by the way), Puma is now teaming up with Yves Saint Laurent. Under the watchful eye of designer Stefano Pilati, the two companies have created a men's high-top sneaker which is very high fashion but, yet, at the same time has a lot of sportswear influence.

"...she's got jimmy choo's,ooo's,ooo's"The collaborations seem to keep coming and coming and coming, no matter how strange they've become. Take for example one of the latest one: Scottish rubber wellington boot company Hunter (the brand of choice for the Royal family) has teamed up with stiletto master Jimmy Choo to create a line of limited edition boots. While still maintaining Hunter's

Not only do the people living in New York City right now have the privilege of, well, actually living in New York City, they will also have the best day of their fashion lives tomorrow with the opening of the Topshop flagship store in SoHo and the Balenciaga Outlet store (the first one ever on our continent...or in our hemisphere for that matter) at

You know, I've daydreamed about a lot of things before (usually involving celebrities: either me meeting one, or dating one, or representing one, or better yet BEING one!) and in these daydreams I often imagine the celebrity dining out, shopping, partying, working, hanging out...you know, cool everyday type stuff that would only be cool if you were a celebrity. However, I've never imagined them

No, your eyes deceive you not, dear reader. A sexy Nicole Richie poses for BlackBook magazine's Music Issue as Lady Gaga wearing a blond wig, bangs, and Vuitton. The spread is very 80's and very Fall 2009 (as seen on the runways in New York and Paris). Nicole has been relatively out of the spotlight since becoming a mother, so I can't wait to pick up a copy of April's BlackBook to read what she

Not only will Thursday be the grand opening of the British retailer's stateside flagship in SoHo, but it's also the day that the Kate Moss Spring 09' collection hits the web. The Spring collection, Kate's ninth for Topshop, is heavily inspired by prints and will also feature lingerie. It's safe to say that, after this week is over, Topshop can just

In this month's issue of Details magazine, they asked designer Donna Karen to give her top 10 rule of style for men. Here's what she suggests:1. Sometimes men can be a little limited when it comes to trying something new. When I first used stretch fabric, I couldn't even use the word stretch until men realized how comfortable it was. Now they ask, "Where's the black stretch crêpe suit?"2. I don't
