Tommy Hilfiger and Marky Ramone Party Like It's 1979

Filed under: Events: On the Scene

Marky RamoneIt's not a party in SoHo unless the fire marshals turn up. And New York's Bravest were out in force Wednesday for the mob scene at Paper magazine's bash inside the Hilfiger Denim Store on Broadway.

Eddie Bauer Will Try to be Less Lame

Filed under: Style in the News, Men

Woman wearing Eddie Bauer safari gearWhen it comes to phenom labels that have been on the decline for a really, really long time -- Eddie Bauer stands in an elite class with notables like the Gap and Tommy Hilfiger. Once upon a time, those mega-bland, kahki-laced styles were all the rage ... but then came the late 90s. Since then, they've clung to a narrow band of loyalists who crave safari-casual and high waisted jeans. Now, EB is smack dab in the middle of a soul-searching reinvention, which includes launching a new back-to-their-roots line of outerwear named First Ascent, designed by real-live mountain climbers.

Is there a proper length for men's cutoffs?

Filed under: Clothing, Men


When you've got a pair of old jeans that have gone out of style, but you can't make yourself to throw them out -- there's still a way to breathe new life into them: turn them into shorts. You know, get after them with a pair of scissors just above the knee. At least, that's the way we thought that cutoffs were made.

Now that men's cutoffs are finding their way back into all sorts of fall collections, the cutting has apparently been done for you. Does that kill the whole über-casual, granola vibe for anybody else?

Don't get us wrong -- we love us some cut-off shorts. The fit is slimmer than with regular shorts, and somehow they look more comfy and more refined. It's just that buying a pair of pre-chopped designer cutoffs just seems like a waste. Is the sustainable clothing trend already over? Guess we can chalk it up to another fashion statement hijacked by savvy hipster retailers. Oh well, they still look cool.

Tommy TV

Filed under: Runway Trends, Style in the News, Vintage and Retro, Celebrities with Style


We love fashion-oriented television programming. Especially, when Bravo TV is playing host on its channel.

The cable network has made devoted Project Runway fans out of us over the past few years. And while we cringe every time the thought of Rachel Zoe (yuck!) airing a reality show on Bravo this fall crosses our mind, we ultimately are kind of anticipating Zoe's TV debut because we know Bravo can make anyone's life look even mildly interesting.

Men's Undie Awards: the results are in

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie, Men


It's conventional wisdom that dudes don't care very much about what kind of undies they're sporting. Well, we say that's only a half truth -- almost all guys are partial to one form of underwear or another. There are few who are so bold as to one day go boxers, and the very next day, go briefs. That's crazy talk.

Now that the results are in from the 2008 Undie Awards, we know that plenty of dudes care about their skivvies enough to nominate their preferred pair for greatness. Not to mention, their votes helped fight cancer. Overall, the winners were all pretty safe choices, because that whole male lingerie thing hasn't quite caught on yet. Still, exotic choices like the male thong were on the ballot, and apparently a lot of men and their partners find them highly desirable.

Joy Bryant, not just a pretty face

Filed under: Celebrities with Style


Typically, when discussing the talents of a model-actress-whatever the conversation stops pretty much as soon as it begins (Think: Paris Hilton, Mischa Barton).

But Joy Bryant would definitely have to be the exception to this rule. The Yale graduate's resume is very long and quite impressive.

So, you can only imagine our excitement when we saw the mini interview Nylon magazine posted on its site featuring the former Tommy Hilfiger model. The fashion glossy caught up with Bryant at the party for the launch of Surf Girls Roxy.

On how she got acquainted with waves and surfboards: "Well, a couple years ago I was dating a surfer who was really hot, so he got me in the water. So there's your story! But I think if I learned to do that stuff early on, I'd be so sick right now. I'd be retarded."

Spoken like a real bad ass.

Tommy Hilfiger launches online TV channel

Filed under: Style in the News


Fashion and music have gone hand and hand since as far back as we can remember.

Dame Vivienne Westwood helped usher in the punk style that is still very popular in the UK by dressing the Sex Pistols and Adam Ant; Jean Paul Gaultier outfitted Madonna in those now infamous cone-shaped bras for her world tours, and as of late, Gucci's Frida Giannini has been taped to design 20 different looks for Lenny Kravitz's upcoming 'Love Revolution' European tour.

Elle auctions off designer water bottles for the planet

Filed under: Style in the News, Style for a Cause


Elle magazine has teamed up with eco-crusader Laurie David to auction off some Sigg aluminum water bottles decorated by some of fashion's elite designers. Diane von Furstenberg, Kenneth Cole, Stella McCartney and others have decked out each bottle with their own unique doodles and slogans. They even allowed Donna Karan to participate, even though she hates bunnies.

I don't know what they used to apply their designs, hopefully something that doesn't smear -- since I imagine these things will garner some pretty high prices. The auction is being launched in conjunction with Elle's 3rd annual Green Issue, and the proceeds will go to David's stopglobalwarming.org -- bidding starts on April 17.

Short shorts: Hot spring trend...for guys?

Filed under: Men

Men of the world, please listen to me: I don't want to see your upper thigh -- and, chances are, nobody else wants to gawk at your hairy, flabby man stems either.

Yet some runway designers (and even some men's fashion blogs) are advocating a return to the kind of revealing menswear that's best left to the 1970s. Now that the spring looks we saw on runways last fall are finally making their way to the street, expect to see a little more leg from your fashion-forward buddies.

But never fear: you don't have to join this trend. There's plenty of ways to look good, stay cool, and avoid dressing like some annoyingly endogenous, American-Apparel style hipster. So have some self respect, damnit, and check out five more modest options that offer a more manly amount of coverage.

Tommy Hilfiger to go fur-free

Filed under: Style in the News

According to British Vogue, American designer Tommy Hilfiger has just announced that he will no longer use fur in any of his forthcoming clothing collections. A representative for Hilfiger told WWD, "We want to ensure high ethical standards." Of course, Hilfiger has not written off the possibility of using faux-fur in his label. Going fur-free puts Hilfiger in good company (Miuccia Prada and Stella McCartney are also fur-free). Certainly, this will also put him in good favor with animal rights groups.
