To be honest, I haven’t been the biggest fan of his “modelling” for the past few seasons, but I must say, this photo has me all up in arms. The previous ads just had him looking way too awkward, and almost painful to look at. This one though, is amazing.
The suit is, of course, exquisite. And his pensive look finally fits.
Rad indeed.

Levi’s Commuter Series!
I have the blue one, and I must say, they are probably my best-fitting jeans next to my Levi’s Slim Taper.
The leg is slim, the back rise is higher than the usual, and the color is fantastic! There’s extra stitching where most wear from biking occurs, which also means extra support where it counts even if you don’t ride bikes ;)
And can we talk about the awesome reflective stripe in the hem? Yes!
Raf Simons is one of the 8 different covers of i-D’s Summer 2012 issue and it looks AMAZING. Photographed by Willy Vanderperre and styled by his good friend Olivier Rizzo (in his very own menswear collection) it’s pretty much a collectible.
I’m kind of digging Mr. Vanderperre’s take on the floral photography trend that’s taken the fashion world by storm.
I’ve seen this on buses all over the city and I’m so glad that this is happening! Like I had told my friend this morning, I’m happy that iconic brands like GAP are starting to really promote equality and acceptance.
Nick Wooster is going to J.C.Penney. Is it too early to hope for an all camo shop-in-shop? More details here.
JCP is clearly putting together an all-star team. Congrats Nick!
So first was Ellen, then Benjamin Fay, and now the street style king himself?
As Stanley Tucci once said in The Devil Wears Prada, “Gird your loins!”
What worries me though is that this IS middlebrow retail, so let’s not forget it. Let’s not suddenly imagine JCP as some kind of mecca for expensive fashion. We still need basic deals that WORK.
I’m very excited though. But maybe not too much about camo pocket squares everywhere.
This is what I’m talking about! Never has their campaign been so timely. But can we talk about the styling, too? So chic and simple. Effortless, yet evocative of strength.
