White Trash Beautiful is the name Richie Sambora, of rock and roll superstar band Bon Jovi, gave his new clothing line, which was recently reviewed by Vogue UK. The collection was designed in collaboration with Nikki Lund, who interned for Anna Sui and Jill Stuart in New York.
A capsule menswear collection by the socially-conscious fashion label Edun made its debut at Bloomingdale’s in New York Wednesday night with a party featuring DJs Tony Touch and Crazy Legs of the Rock Steady Crew, who showed off some break dancing moves at the event.
A renewed interest in male grooming and body image comes with the introduction of an impossibly skinny, 27-inch waist male mannequin, dubbed “Homme Nouveau,” by British manufacturer Rootstein to make its debut next month.

Fitting seamlessly into the recent Americana trend is the latest collaboration between Levis and skater and musician Tommy Guerrero. No word yet on when the collab officially drops, but for now we get a sneak peak at the above two pieces which mix the classic Levi’s denim look with a kitschy Mexican-inspired theme. When the [...]
Beginning today, new Fall/Winter 2009 pieces from Japanese streetwear company BBC/Ice Cream will be available for purchase at the Tokyo flagship store. In this drop are Chukka boots, tote bags, and a parka featuring the company’s new digi camo print. We’re relieved that, although the new print is certainly a quirky and creative take on [...]
Tearing a page directly out of Target’s handbook for success, the execs at Macy’s have decided to create a diffusion line — but for men, which few mass-market retailers have done before.
