Fashion Show
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.

Whatever Happened To A Nice Pair Of Jeans And Tee?
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.

Boy Problems: Our Struggles With Menswear
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.

"Elle"'s Gilles Bensimon Confesses To Poor Management Skills
- 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.

Tom Ford Reaches Out To Those Wrongfully "Deprived Of Luxury", Staffs Store With Butlers, Maids
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.'"
