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.

Show: Jil Sander Spring 2010
Item: Face-Print Cardigan Personal Favorite
Price: $712.80 | £440.00 | €501.60
Features: “White printed cardigan, button front, long sleeves.”

Time for some new campaigns, don’t you think?

For Spring 2010, Lanvin enlisted the photographers Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin to model the new collection. The ads exhibit a feeling of love and happiness between the couple with lots of kissing going on. The ad is a step away from previous ones and I have to say that I like the previous ads better. I’d rather have models in front of the camera, and the photographers behind, that’s what we have them for.

But, it certainly does grab your attention.

Last fall, Milan brought us head-to-toe black, extreme knits, and Prada Fall 2009.

Well, it’s that special time of year again and in only a few weeks from now, quite a few runways in Milan will come alive with the sounds of male models strutting down them. What will Raf Simons, Miuccia Prada, Frida Giannini, and Christopher Bailey show us this season? Surly, I don’t know…but I am defiantly waiting on edge to see.

If everything goes as planned, I will hopefully be keeping you updated direct from a few of the shows themselves.

Do you want an exclusive peak behind the scenes of some of Spring 2010’s best collections? Well here you go.

In the current issue of VMan #16, five designers – Calvin Klein, Givenchy, Dior Homme, Dsquared, and Thom Browne – give full viw of all the behind the scenes action. The shots include designers working on their collections, mood boards, backstage going ons, and the sets themselves. Each page also displays a quote from the designer of the collection.

Enjoy!

Photographers: Thomas Lohr, Schohaja, Zoe Cassavettes, Dan Leeca

As the year comes to end and we wait for the new collections that are just around the corner, how will you remember the others shown this past year? If you’ve got Fall 2009 on the brain, chances are, some of your fondest memories of the season include a bit of plaid and a lot of geometry. From Dolce & Gabbana’s many miniature squares to Hugo by Hugo Boss’ boxed visual madness, Fall 2009 can now be remembered as the season hard to escape a little the square.

Shooting two of the industries most in demand men, Photographer Alexi Lubomirski brings the trend alive and does it in true GQ fashion – basic background and endless jumping.

Models: Marlon Texieria (Wilhelmina New York) & Simon Nessman (Major Model Management)
Photographer: Alexi Lubomirski

Usually I am opposed to most celebrities in magazines, and while I do not like some of the celebrities featured in this “editorial” featured in VMan #16, this is different.

For Fall 2009 VMan collaborated with Richard Phillips to illustrate five celebrities on the red carpet. These Richard Phillips illustrations have a very cool rough feeling with the gird paper showing through. I also enjoy the funny captions beneath the illustrations; one being – “Every time Justin Timberlake sings in falsetto, a puppy gets castrated. Bob Barker approves.”

This editorial was honestly my favorite part of VMan #16, so check it out and tell me what you think!

Celebrities: Chace Crawford, Zac Efron, Leonardo DiCaprio, Justin Timberlake, Robert Pattinson
