Prada did something unusual for its men's wear show: it stocked the cast with famous actors. Willem Defoe, Jamie Bell, Adrien Brody, Gary Oldman, Tim Roth, Emile Hirsch, and Garrett Hedlund all walked around modeling Miuccia Prada's latest collection of snobby, bemedaled clothes for playboys. The Times rated them as models, and opined that Hedlund More »

Men's fashion week has wound its way through Milan and Paris, leaving streaks of body makeup and memories of ridiculous clothes in its wake. When your stockbroker is also a leather daddy, buy him Versace. He'll thank you. And if you stare intently at the yellow pants for long enough, a picture of a handsome, stylishly dressed man appears.

Our Paris correspondent, Nilina Mason-Campbell, has apparently been amusing herself by getting male models to deliver their cheesiest pick-up lines in their native tongues. The results are, frankly, enlightening. After all, the language of love is international. More »

Attention dudes: The banana hammock is officially in. Adjust your purchasing plans accordingly. And ladies, it might be time to reconsider your tastes, starting with Glee's Matthew Morrison. And the unrelated-but-illustrative image at left should maybe help too. More »

A piece published in the Guardian yesterday has forced me to come to terms with something I've been fighting for a long time, which is this: I think male cleavage is kind of hot. More »

Turns out famous hairstyle Rod Blagojevich had a shopping habit that was fucking golden. He and his wife Patti spent over $400,000 on clothing over seven years, and they owed more than $90,000 on their credit cards. More »

Now that Gap makes "boyfriend" jeans for babies, the whole "boyfriend" trend can seem heteronormative and lame. But I still love wearing men's clothing — though I prefer to buy it for myself. More »

A new photo book by Daniele Tamagni explores the phenomenon of sapeurs, a clique of extraordinarily dressed dandies from the Congo. In the midst of war and abject poverty, these men dress in tailored suits, silk ties, and immaculate footwear. More »

Although Michelle Obama's Jason Wu inaugural gown received mainly plaudits, Slate's Jesse Sheidlower has a brickbat for the president. He mixed white tie and black! And his tux jacket had a notched collar! More »

Fashion week has begun, and ladies aren't the only ones getting presented a new vision for fall: There are a few designers showing for men today. Perry Ellis (designed by John Crocco) pictures Spring 2009 as a parade of plaid shirts, seersucker suits and pink shorts. Would any guys you know dress like this? (Click the photo at left for a gallery of selected looks.) More »

Our fascination with menswear? Kind of obsessive. And it was only further provoked by an article in today's Wall Street Journal on the new Thom Browne-designed line for Brooks Brothers, Black Fleece. In case you've forgotten, Thom Browne supposedly "revolutionized" menswear by creating a new men's suit silhouette: One with a cropped leg. We always thought this is funny, because — call us fashion losers or even worse, June Cleaver — but we just can't imagine some straight man in a meeting with other straight men and wearing a suit that purposefully displays his ankles.

Maybe we're fashion retards, but we just don't get contemporary menswear. Because "real men" — that is, straight, beer-drinking, X-Box-owning, porn-watching men — are never going to wear skinny suits with cropped legs. But what we don't get more than contemporary menswear is today's lead story in The New York Times Thursday Styles section on the just-concluded contemporary menswear shows in Milan. We aren't More »

• After being bounced by Elle in favor of Joe Zee, the magazine's founding creative director Gilles Bensimon finally speaks. "I was never good with giving direction, day by day. I never asked to be director of a magazine," he says. "I was only photography director. The first day I got the position... I go, 'oh my gosh that's a mistake." [WWD, 1st item]

Most of the men in our lives have a similar issue with today's clothes: How to find stuff that isn't so tight as to make them look gay/Euro/"vegan", but isn't so boxy as to make them look Republican/frat/fat. Enter Tom Ford. We referenced Ford's $75 socks earlier, but after reading pieces in the WSJ and Washington Post about his new Madison Avenue store, we feel compelled to add that the 3-story "atelier" is going to be staffed by real maids and butlers in an effort to make it seem more like Ford's own home, and also that his target audience is not simply metrosexuals but specifically '"rich businessmen in the U.S. and developing countries who 'have been deprived of luxury.'"
