Karl Loves a Man in High Heels

Karl Lagerfeld and Baptiste Giabiconi from Purple Magazine on Vimeo.

Karl Lagerfeld seems to have this weird obsession with photographing men in women's clothing, especially in high heels as he has done it before for the March 2009 Vogue Paris issue. In his case thought he shoots one of his fav, Baptiste Giabiconi for Purple Magazine #12. Personally, I'm not into cross-dressing, but I can see the art in it. It's not something you see everyday (well, depending on where you live), but for me it's something not foreign but somewhat obscure. I have nothing against trannys (a.k.a. transexuals), but I love the idea of dressing as someone of the opposite sex and having "safe" fun with it, which I think it's probably one of Karl's point on this shoot. I'm sure for some this is a taboo, but in some parts of Europe, this might be look as something as nothing out of the ordinary. Men in women's clothes!?, wow, groundbreaking. I admire people who take risks in any kind of fashion and Karl is just doing that, I don't think his reputation as one of the biggest designers and image makers in history is being put in jeopardy by throwing himslef into the "lion's mouth" but it's a strong statement to the industry on the philosophy of freedom. I really can't wait 'till this issue comes out and hear lots of feedback from insiders, but especially I'll would like to know the reason behind this shoot by Mr Karl.

Hot Slut Of The Day

I actually wanted to make this post a while back, but for time issues I couldn't. I first spotted this hunk on "The Ten New York Men" on models.com back in February and since then he caught my attention. Nate was signed to Major Model Management a while back and was booked for the F/W 2009 Milan season to walk exclusively for Givenchy and Calvin Klein, but nothing really jumped off. Honestly, I never really noticed him, however, though he was booked again for the S/S 2010 season to walk for various designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, Etro, Versace, Vivienne Westwood and others, that's when I couldn't resist my temptations, literally. I loved how he made himself presence with his outgoing personality, I mean he doesn't even need to open his mouth to make an entrance, he just gotta take his shirt off and bam!, all eyes on him. He could easily be on my top "future-ex" hook-ups down the line, I mean his face is just too adorable, his bone structure is similar to a baby's but his body is sure of a grown man. Nate is said to be one of the hottest up-and-comers models in the industry and I totally agree, he has already booked ad campaigns for DKNY and Ralph Lauren Rugby, and appeared in a few top magazines such as GQ and V magazine. This young dude definitely has the potential to make it to the top, can't wait to see more of him.

HOT!

Hot Slut Of The Day

David Agbodji is seriously one of the hottest up-and-coming black male models in the industry, he's not only a model, but he's also a gifted young photographer, which sets him apart from the average model that you might see in GQ. Recently, he opened and closed the 2010 Spring/Summer Calvin Klein show in Milan (which I'll be blogging in a bit), which is huge for any model. First time I saw him on the runway, I thought he had a resemblance to Tyson Beckford, his lips and nose do look kind of similar, even though Tyson has more oriental-ish eyes, and let's not talk about that body, pure eye candy. I can't wait to see more of him on the runway, ads and editorials.
