Mr. Porter
The fashion industry has always been made out to be some sort of private club that only the elite of the elite are allowed into. So when folks, like those from Mr. Porter, present the designers, stylists, buyers, and editorial peeps like real people, we always find ourselves giglling just a little bit.

You think men’s bracelets only recently came into style? What rock have you been living under? Men have been rockin’ this look since the beginning of time — well, more like since 9000 B.C.
Clint Rainey dove back into the men’s “arm party” archives for New York Magazine. What he came out with at the end was a pretty awesome infographic, making us all realize that none of us were the first ones to make friendship bracelets cool.
Check out the awesome illustration by Mark Nerys after the jump.

Ricky Martin returned to the Broadway stage a few days ago as Che in the revival production of ‘Evita,’ but you could tell something was different about the ‘Livin’ La Vida Loca’ heartthrob. Oh yeah, that’s right. He came out on stage to his adoring public with a suave-looking mustache instead of his normal bit of scruff.

Once again, Robert Pattinson and Daniel Radcliffe are going head to head, but this time it has nothing to do with either the sexually frustrated vampire in ‘Twilight’ or the prepubescent wizard in ‘Harry Potter.’ It’s all about style.

Digital Media Editor of The Daily Telegraph Emma Barnett was cleaning her house this past weekend and found a new pair of chinos her boyfriend bought for himself from the UK brand Madhouse. As if it wasn’t bad enough that he’d left them on the floor as someone else’s problem, stitched inside the pant was a white patch with unusual washing instructions:
“Machine wash warm. Inside out with like colors… Or GIVE IT TO YOUR WOMAN, It’s Her Job.”
Whether it was intended as a joke by the manufacturers or simply a way for grabbing some extra media attention for the company, this message has sparked a frenzy across the Internet, especially on Twitter.

Both Kellan Lutz and Zac Efron tremendously stepped up their game style wise this past year, but perhaps one has done so more than the other.
After his breakout in ‘Twilight,’ Lutz started utilizing more of his wardrobe and sitting front row at Fashion Week, all his pieces perfectly fitted to his body shape. Then there’s Efron, who’s always had that cool street vibe going on since his days in ‘High School Musical.’ But when his body of work started maturing, so did his level of sophistication.
Even though both gents each have distinct looks and have been recognized countless times for their style, who do you think is more suave? Kellan Lutz or Zac Efron? Vote in our poll below.

Mark McNairy caught the eye of GQ and became one of this year’s Best New Menswear Designers because of his uncanny ability to take old-world menswear classics and infuse some newfound energy into them. This often means creating men’s wingtips, oxfords and the like with bold-colored soles, like the new saddle shoes from his New Amsterdam spring/summer 2012 collection.

GANT Rugger did not go the route of practically everyone at New York Fashion Week when presenting his fall 2012 collection. Instead of a runway or a traditional show-and-tell presentation, the team occupied New York’s The Fat Radish and treated the men’s style elite to dinner and a show.
On the menu? According to bloggers Tom and Lorenzo, roasted lamb and grilled sea bass. On the models? Sportswear inspired by characters you’d see at a restaurant.

J.Crew’s Ludlow suit is such a staple of the brand’s menswear branch that not only are all kinds of NYC men flocking to get their own, but now there’s an entire men’s boutique dedicated to this thriving suiting style in Manhattan’s Tribecca district.
Why does that location sound so familiar? It’s because J.Crew’s Liquor Store, a landmark of the Big Apple and men’s fashion, is already there, and has been since 2008. But it looks like it’s small suiting section shoved to the back of the store has been getting a little crowded.
