Taylor Fuchs. You know, the one with the gap in between his two front teeth that you just can’t ignore. The one with the very gap that he can attribute for most of his success today, along with his looks of course. Well, model turn talk show host Tyra Banks has gotten a hold of him and has 8 questions to ask.

Tyra breaks down Fuchs for you in one short and (umm) interesting read.

What do you think might happen if Tyra did a Top Model for males?
It could be good to alleviate some of the negative stereotypes that are associated with male models. One of the biggest misconceptions about models is that they’re obsessed with their looks and very narcissistic. But in reality, most models treat modeling solely as a source of income. Our other interests, goals and hobbies have nothing to do with our job or physical appearance.

Male models are usually paid less that there female counterparts. Thoughts?
As of right now it makes sense because in the general public there are a lot more females spending money on clothes. But I’ve noticed more men caring about their personal style. Hopefully this trend will continue and slowly lessen the discrepancy between pay checks.

So, to catch your eye, does someone have to be even more attractive than you?
I never make that comparison between myself and anyone else. It simply just comes down to whether I am attracted to her or not.

And just how does one snag a male model?
The same way you would snag anyone else. Be genuine and look for a connection.

If you could be a female supermodel, who would you be?
Doutzen Kroes.

In high school were you: homecoming king; jock; pretty boy, or nerd?
I’d like to think I was a little bit of everything.

Does someone call you beautiful every day?
One thing I’ve learned from this business is to ignore people’s opinions of your physical appearance–good or bad. If you take them personally, you will drive yourself crazy.

What else is interesting about you?
I guess just the randomness of my lifestyle. I am always attempting to try new things in new places.

As anyone will tell you, when working in the industry, building bridges and making connections are one of the most important things to do. As any elite insider would tell you, building bridges with fashion’s biggest names will instantly trump any smaller connections made along the way. Well, things just so happen to work out in your favor when Tom Ford happens to take a liking to you.

Splashed all over Ford’s website and appearing in the designer’s eyewear campaign alongside Anna Jagodzinska, model Jon Kortajarena seems to have learned the advantages of having friends in high paces.

On Tuesday, the Spanish model took to Germany to claim his title as “GQ’s Model of the Year“. Arriving as the epitome of suave and sophistication in a black velvet diamond Jacquard jacket complete with bow-tie, I was sure he was drenched in Dolce & Gabbana. Seeing as the D&G duo have been dabbling in velvet for a while. Though, when looking back at Tom Ford’s Fall 2009 lookbook, it seems that Kortajarena reaped the benefits of working with the former brain behind Gucci.

Now it’s time to out your imagination to work – do you think he bought it, got it as a gift, was given it from the shoot, or stole it? I’m shooting with kept it from the shoot. Seeing as Ford was also in attendance at the awards, I’m pretty sure it’s not stolen goods.

Officially making Prada’s studs, Gucci’s legging-pant hybrid, and Dior Homme’s high contrast take on an architect’s view of bondage, among the most photographed of the season. Highlighting the current mood of a modern hardcore street edge seen on runways abroad.

Showing Nakata interacting animals and at one point plane, the essence of power and movement are added in the form of computer generated objects. Creating a certain interest factor that is slightly hard to find in the label’s current campaign.

It’s been a little over a week since I first told you of Mark Ronson’s love affair with the Gucci Fall 2009 collection. Well since that time, the DJ has struck again. Still with good reason of course. With the launch of his first Icon-Temporary sneaker boutique taking place within his last Gucci outing during Paris Fashion week, Ronson continues to leave barely any look from the Glam Rock inspired Fall 09 Gucci collection safe.

Which makes me wonder if he would foam at the mouth if he were to ever find out that the English R&B/pop artist, Mr. Hudson, was the first to be spotted out in the house’s Spring 2010 collection...

October 29 – Known already to put his own spin on the looks that have seen the spotlights of the runway, at the “Music Unites Fall Masquerade Gala” which honored Ronson and Georgina Chapman, the musician broke up all of the black shown on the runway and instead pairs his glittered woven single breasted bowie evening jacket over the very same union poplin skinny shirt that he has been spotted in twice before.

October 23 – Channeling the perfect feel of his current sneaker collection and swapping out the runway’s pony tassel moccasins with his own nautical inspired sneakers, a personal touch is added to a salt & pepper shadow bouclé skinny suit.

Making for an unexpected combo.

October 22 - The night before, at the Fashion Group International’s 26th annual Night Of Stars, Ronson showed an ever dapper side than usual…which speaks volumes since you’ve seen what he’s done in the past.

Losing the black visage striped legging evening pants, which were spotted on Leandro Maeder in V Magazine recently, Mark cleans up the bad boy image and opts out for a more traditional pant, but still keeps a level of coolness with a few glittery details on the jacket and visage print on the tie.

I’m keeping my eyes peeled for more Ronson outings, since I’m sure Gucci will most defiantly be involved.

Have you ever fallen in love with something that you’ve seen come down a runway, only to later develop an extreme urge to have it? Well worry no more. Seeing that the virtual shelves of our favorite online stores are constantly being restocked with the latest in all (most) of your runway delights, I’ve decided to keep track.

While taking to one of my personal favorite designer goods sites, mytheresa.com, I took note of their “Shop the Shows” feature. Since they only sell the most current in womenswear and we all know that menswear happens to be fashion’s underdog, Homme Times now brings you a brand new feature.

As the weather continues to drop for some, or at least the rain for those us in New York, chic alternatives to your Spring/Summer wardrobe are needed at the moment. In most cases, Fall is dubbed the increasingly awkward stage in dressing. Reason being – it’s usually not too cold to wear your full-on “fight the snow/cold” get-up, but it’s not all that warm to not think about doing so.

In Duvetica’s Fall 2009 collection, the Italian brand best known for their unbelievable way of adding shape to a down jacket and make a typically unflattering coat into something edgy and worth a wear, a play on the new idea of “luxury today” is present.

Shot by Alessandro Bencini, their latest lookbook Shows luxe leathers and 100% nylon jackets paired with paint stained and ripped jeans. All of which bringing back elements of “fashion deconstruction”, seen throughout recent seasons (see Alexander McQueen Spring 2010 and Dior Homme Spring 2009).

Though the look is still pretty hard to pull off, a patent jacket will this season help to bridge that awkward gap known as the “transitional period”.
