Marc Jacobs, who recently posed nude for the campaign of his latest men’s fragrance Bang, explained the process in an interview with Calvin Klein. “There’s nothing I can wear in this ad that isn’t going to look ridiculous. At one point, I tried jeans and a shirt, and it didn’t work.

Good wicker clothing is hard to come by. Jean Paul Gaultier’s haute couture collection was inspired by Aztecs and their weaving tradition, but I just don’t have the kind of life that allows me to look like a human basket. These woven flats ($30, urbanoutfitters.com), which look a bit like pixelated snake skin, fit the […]

Just announced: Calvin Klein is bending their own conventions by selecting a single face to represent all three of his brands–Calvin Klein Collection, ck Calvin Klein, and Calvin Klein Jeans. Then again, the new CK girl Lara Stone is just a convention-bending kinda girl. [The Cut]

Details have been released about the swimsuit collection Lorenzo Martone collaborated on with jewellery designer Jules Kim. Dubbed Nycked, it’s got bows, it’s got lace and it’s got sequins.
