The battle below the belt in men's underwear!
In the pristine world of white male briefs, it's war. On the one side is David Beckham, currently more male icon than soccer hero, his taut body in Emporio Armani underpants in a vast street poster ad in Milan.
On the opposing side is Michelangelo's "David" - or at least how the sculpture might have looked had the Florentine burghers insisted on a cover-up. Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce launched their riposte over the weekend as a private-collection calendar showing the heroic, muscular male.
The David vs. "David" standoff marks the moment that underwear has come out of the drawers and off the shelves to become, to men's fashion, the female equivalent of the handbag. It is an accessory - and even a necessity - that can be turned into big bucks.
Behind Giorgio Armani's focus on Beckham, which has roots in the cozy relationship he has developed with international soccer stars, is the realization that although one pair of pants may look much like another, branding with celebrity endorsement gives sales superpower.
"Never before has the world been so interested in legends - and sports stars reach another group of people," says Armani. "The day after we announced the Beckham collaboration, we got great results both commercially and image wise."

The Model Whisperer!
DURING Fashion Week, any given table at any trendy restaurant might yield characters worthy of a novel about the ephemeral value of youth and beauty. It would be airplane reading, quickly adapted for cable television. “I’ll Never Be Alone,” it might be called.
Open with a casual glance at the gray-haired man at a sidewalk table at Downtown Cipriani, who appears to be wearing a rodent pelt as an ascot as he quaffs white wine and nuzzles a raven-haired model with a British accent.
Let your eye flit a few blocks uptown to a booth against the south wall of the Coffee Shop on Union Square, where a dark-haired man in a baseball cap and sunglasses is eating herbed French fries desultorily with a fork, while Samantha, a next-to-the-last-round loser from the eighth “America’s Next Top Model,” snuggles against him.
Finally, track a few tables over to the banquette near the hostess station. Zoom in on Oscar Batori, who has just turned 21.
He is 6-foot-3, lean and English, with a faintly menacing sharpness to his face, which bears a resemblance to that of a young Mick Jagger.
Two years ago, Mr. Batori was working as a male model earning about $75 a day, sharing an apartment with others and eating ramen noodles for dinner. Two years from now, who knows where he will be. But last week, he was in his element: 21 and good-looking, during a week when youth and beauty hold full value.

London is invaded by size-zero models
To the uninformed they look like the kind of nerdy boys that couldn't get the girl at the school disco, but after years of losing out to their beefy peers, the skinny male is having his day. As London Fashion Week kicks off this weekend, stick-thin men will be parading the catwalks promoting an ideal of male beauty that is a far cry from the bulked-up models of the Eighties and Nineties.
But as indie kids and fashionistas across the country squeeze themselves into the latest drainpipe jeans, fashion's move towards a male size zero has a more serious consequence: it heralds an era where men – like women – feel pressure to conform to a waif-like body image.
The masculine ideal has undergone a step change, putting pressure on young men to conform to a new body shape. The fashion expert and agent Johnathan Phang explained: "Suddenly, you've got lots of guys becoming models who never thought they could be; the sort of people who were normally considered weeds or nerdy-looking."

Men Go Red!
15 male cardiac rehab patients will be showing their support for the American Heart Association “Go Red for Women” campaign Monday by modeling red dresses at Erlanger’s Chattanooga Lifestyle Center. The annual male fashion show begins at 11:15 a.m., Feb. 11, at the Chattanooga Lifestyle Center, with each participant strutting his stuff in a red dress, wig, make-up and jewelry.
“This is one of our most fun, most anticipated events of the year,” said Dee Clark, RN, with the Chattanooga Lifestyle Center. “The men who model in our annual fashion show go to great lengths to wear the best red outfit,” she said.
Tickets to the fundraiser are $10 and reservations must be made in advance. Guests can pay $1 per vote for their favorite model, “buying” an unlimited amount of votes. The male model collecting the most votes/money is named winner, with all proceeds donated to the local AHA “Go Red For Women” campaign.

The Skinny?
CREDIT Hedi Slimane or blame him. The type of men Mr. Slimane promoted when he first came aboard at Dior Homme some years back (he has since left) were thin to the point of resembling stick figures; the clothes he designed were correspondingly lean. The effects of his designs on the men’s wear industry were radical and surprisingly persuasive. Within a couple of seasons, the sleekness of Dior Homme suits made everyone else’s designs look boxy and passé, and so designers everywhere started reducing their silhouettes.
Then a funny thing happened. The models were also downsized. Where the masculine ideal of as recently as 2000 was a buff 6-footer with six-pack abs, the man of the moment is an urchin, a wraith or an underfed runt.
Nowhere was this more clear than at the recent men’s wear shows in Milan and Paris, where even those inured to the new look were flabbergasted at the sheer quantity of guys who looked chicken-chested, hollow-cheeked and undernourished. Not altogether surprisingly, the trend has followed the fashion pack back to New York
Wasn’t it just a short time ago that the industry was up in arms about skinny models? Little over a year ago, in Spain, designers were commanded to choose models based on a healthy body mass index; physicians were installed at Italian casting calls; Diane von Furstenberg, the president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue, called a conference to ventilate the issue of unhealthy body imagery and eating disorders among models.
The models in question were women, and it’s safe to say that they remain as waiflike as ever. But something occurred while no one was looking. Somebody shrunk the men.

New Face of Ralph Lauren!
How Rory Marshall became the pin-up boy of a global fashion house. Just before meeting the main man a small group of Ralph Lauren's staff asked Marshall to introduce himself and tell them something interesting about his life.
The conversation went like this:
Rory: "Hello, my name's Rory Marshall, I live in a small Yorkshire town called Ilkley where I live in a little house which was actually once owned by Enid Blyton."
Staff: "Wow! Gee! That's amazing!! Enid Blyton."
Rory: "Do you know who Enid Blyton is?"
Staff: "Er, no."
Fortunately they did know a potential icon when they saw one and Marshall, 29, landed himself just about the top gig a model can get – the new face of Polo.
Alongside fronting campaigns for Calvin Klein or Georgio Armani it doesn't get much bigger than that.

NY Fashion Week!
NEW YORK (AP) — The fall trends shown Saturday at New York Fashion Week are bound to cause a collective shiver: Along with chunky turtlenecks and peacoats, prepare for super-short miniskirts.
The leggy look was big at shows for Nicole Miller, Lacoste, BCBG Max Azria, Erin Fetherston, Abaete and Kimora Lee Simmons' Baby Phat line — among the early previews for editors, retailers and stylists at the tents at Bryant Park.
Most minis were paired with opaque tights and ballet flats, a good sign for women who bought into those trends last fall. Treat those things with care and you'll get another season out of them.
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week still has plenty of time for new "it" items to emerge. Runway shows run through Feb. 8 with Oscar de la Renta, Diane von Furstenberg, Zac Posen and a new incarnation of Bill Blass yet to preview their collections.

Controversial Fashion!
Madhur Bhandarkar is known for his realistic films, and it is a known fact that all his films have created controversies before release, but this time things are different. His forthcoming film Fashion finds itself in the midst of controversy from the very beginning.
And the latest story doing the rounds is that Madhur Bhandarkar has shot a wardrobe malfunction scene with Kangana Ranaut. The scene was based on the infamous Carol Gracias wardrobe malfunction incident that happened at the Lakme Fashion Week in 2006According to news, Carol Gracias was also present when Madhur shot the scene.
It can be recalled that Kangana is playing model Geetanjali Nagpal (a model who found herself on the road to self destruction) and debutante actress model Mugdha Ghodse is playing Carol's role in Fashion .
So the question is: Why did Kanagna shoot for the controversial scene when Mughda should have? We contacted to Bhandarkar but the filmmaker chose not to comment on it. "I am not going to talk about the issue. Let the confusion remain!" he told us.
