Johnny Depp, 2009 People Magazine Sexiest Man Alive

I said “Thank God” above because frankly I am not into this whole Twilight “I would die for Robert Pattinson” hoopla. I don’t find him cute at all. But of course teenagers do and some adults too but he’s really not my type. Robert Pattinson is of course part of this year’s list but his rebel or devil may care “image” has all been done before. James Dean is the most recognizable one. But definitely, Johnny Depp is the one who has that image as well. And well deservingly so because he is it to the T.

In any case, Ryan Reynolds took the 2nd spot, Jake Gyllenhaal for the 3rd, Bradley Cooper for the 4th, Robert Downey JR for the 5th, Becks is 6th, Gilles Marini is 7th, GLEE guys took the 8th spot, Nick Cannon for the 9th, Adam Lambert (American Idol) took the 10th. John Cho (Harold of Harold and Kumar) is 11th, Daughtry is 12th, Jerry O’Connell is 13th, John Legend is 14th, and Robert Pattinson is 15th.

But where’s my Chuck Bass, I mean Ed Westwick? Hmmmm

The looks were heavily inspired by the stylish influence of Duke of Windsor, Rudolph Valentino, Gary Cooper, and Baron Nicolas De Gunzburg. The models, namely Baptiste Giabiconi, Iris Strubegger, and Oriol Elcacho are visions of elegance and fine tailoring from way back when. This is definitely a nice way to pay homage to the fine-cut suits to bring elegance in Spring 2010.

Designers worn by the models for the photoshoot were Dolce & Gabbana, Salvatore Ferragamo, Louis Vuitton, Lanvin, Versace, Comme Des Garcons Homme Plus, Yves Saint Laurent, Dries Van Noten , etc and brilliantly styled by JACOB K.

Grab your copy of the new VMAN Magazine issue on November 17th to see the complete “Gentlemen of Leisure” looks.

Zac Efron GQ May 2009

Zac Efron has a new movie coming out on Friday called, 17 Again. Zac plays the 17 yr old version of Matthew Perry. He has come a long way from being the cute guy who sings and dances with a basketball no less on 3 High School Musical movies. 2 were on Disney Channel and 1 raked in millions in the theater. And on Hairspray movie with John Travolata. This time around, Zac is stepping away from the cute and musical genre and slowly trying to make a name in Hollywood. Hey, having good looks and oh-so-pretty blue eyes doesn’t hurt either.

You get the feeling he knows he should be saying this, to the men’s magazine. That he knows a career built almost exclusively on the squealing ardor of preteen girls, on choreographed dance numbers set to expository pop tuneage so perkily inoffensive it makes early ’NSync sound like Howlin’ Wolf, is something a man has to live down before you can, y’know, call him a man. He seems like he wants to pass a test. And yet he’s not wrong. Cool Hand Luke is awesome! Compared to the movies of the ’70s, the movies of today look like cheap, mercury-contaminated Chinese toys! And Steve McQueen and Paul Newman? They were awesome!

“I mean—they lived here,” Efron says, gesturing out at the city, clearly meaning not Hollywood the place but Hollywood, the state of being. “They made it through all this.”

I’m quite intrigued with his hair style on the cover. It’s nice to see him in a suit, and in colors. He’s usually wearing some black or gray tees. And of course his *ahem* shirtless picture. Read the entire Zac Efron Interview at GQ Magazine and make sure to check out GQ tomorrow for Zac’s outtakes.

Eric Bana DETAILS May 2009

Not only that, everyone can look forward to watching Eric Bana play a villain in the upcoming movie Star Trek. With all the movies and more coming up under his belt, and a nice ride in the thing we call “fame”, Eric considers himself just a regular race-car nut Aussie guy with a wife, 2 kids , and a poodle name Mario.

He never planned on being Eric Bana the actor, or the comedian, for that matter. What he really wants is to be Mario Andretti. Between shooting movies, Bana can be found “fart-arsing around with my car, getting ready for a race.” Although he has more than one, his favorite car is a fire-engine-red ‘74 XB Falcon coupe that he calls the Beast. He’s had it since he was 15.

“Three of my closest friends—our relationship has been maintained because we’ve always worked on this car,” he says. “The car has transcended itself. It has become a campfire.”

Khakis

COLORS — Tones from stone to tan. Light or faded khakis are perfect for Sundays while darker colors are good for office work.

LENGTH — Anything the hits the ankle or breaks slightly at the hem would be most preferable.

POCKETS — Classic pairs have 4 pockets. 2 in the front and 2 in the back. Don’t be afraid to get some with slanted pockets for a leaner look.

CUT — Straight leg cuts with a slight low rise would be your best bet.

MATERIAL — If it says “wrinkle-free” it’s not khakis. They should be 100% cotton, washed twills and poplins.

CUFFS — Practice the balance of uneven and neat cuffs. 1 inch wide then fold over 2 or 3 times then scrunch at the end.

For more information about the Rules Of Khakis check out DETAILS.

Most Stylish Kid : Arlo Weiner

Arlo Weiner started showing his penchant for fashion at an early age of 3. He first asked for a top hat. His fashion has evolved through out the years. He had since asked his parents for ascots, striped bow ties, velvet jackets, and madras pants. Arlo Weiner is only 8 years old. Um, Yeah. Arlo’s style is mix matching bright colors and different patterns. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s part of Fashion Week in the near future because he plans on designing his own clothes once his Mom buys him a sewing machine. You’ll be surprised to know that jeans and shirts are not his thing. Well, I wouldn’t think so .

After looking at Arlo Weiner’s different looks accompanied by his own words describing his looks, I am more convinced than ever that I have been a terrible mother to my almost 11 yr. old kid. Darn It!

Gentlemen, are you shaking in your Chuck Taylor’s yet?

Designers On The Verge

Gone are the days when American designers are known for polo shirts, khakis, navy blazers, and solid staples styles. DETAILS magazine considers these 4 new designers from New York as the vanguard of American Fashion.

Patrick Ervell, 30, “My philosophy has never been about doing a major seasonal shift—it’s about gradually developing the collection.”

Adam Kimmel, 29, “It’s good to have fun as long as the clothes are kept in a masculine context.”

Robert Geller, 31, “I make clothes that have strength, which is very important for men.”

Alejandro Ingelmo, 34, “When I can’t think, can’t design, I walk around the city. I see the people walking and I see all this movement and the traffic and I’m very influenced by it.”

More information about Patrik Ervell, Alejandro Ingelmo, Robert Geller, and Adam Kimmel and their styles, respectively, can be found at DETAILS magazine.
