JOHNNY DEPP NAMED MOST STYLISH MAN IN THE WORLD MY GQ MAGAZINE

February's GQ is devoted to the 25 most stylish men in the world. Johnny Depp, though named the most stylish, appears on the cover not wearing any clothes — you know, those things that generally comprises style. GQ calls him "a unicorn — a really glamorous, one-of-a-kind eccentric." Others who made the list include Pharrell Williams, Jude Law, Andre 3000, Brad Pitt, Jay-Z and Lebron James. David Beckham is also on the list and pictured in the issue from the waist up, shirtless. We eagerly await a follow-up story on the world's top 25 male torsos. [GQ]

recap: MEN'S FASHION WEEK | PRADA 2010

Prada, fall 2010.

The most wonderful time of the year is finally upon us: Men's Fashion Week! The fall 2010 shows began over the weekend in Milan, and the overall trend seems to be that designers are playing it safe for yet another season, after sales of menswear declined almost 10 percent in 2009 from the previous year. Buyers don't want anything too crazy, since flash is still out. However, the beauty of menswear is that even when designers think they're playing it safe, the clothes they put on the runway would still look absurd on average dudes.

Prada presented a collection that would make anyone feel right at home in Harvard Yard, with tweed blazers to crew neck pullovers and casual slacks. The "preppy" collection shown Sunday was so normal it might have risked boredom were it not for the designers fashion genius. Thus simple crew neck sweaters had an almost plunging neckline and were cropped above the waist to reveal the classic blue shirt underneath.

collection: DIOR HOMME S|S 2010 AVAILABLE AT LUISAVIAROMA

We’ve already mentioned a number of Pre-Order’s available for pending Spring/Summer 2010 collections. Now Luisaviaroma has released Dior Homme’s next season collection too, of which most of is available now. Of particular interest given the ongoing debate over Kris Van Assche’s success with the brand since taking over at the helm. I think this is without doubt Van Assche’s best collection yet for Dior Homme. It’s simple and clean, yet iconic enough to adorn the Dior Homme name. The footwear, as previewed before is the best yet, and the jeans as always offer a vast selection of great washes. See what’s available from Luisaviaroma after the jump.

lookbook: CASELY-HAYFORD S|S 2010

Casely-Hayford is without doubt one of our favourite new brands, the coming together of two generations in Charlie and Joe Casely-Hayford is the perfect mix of today and the quality and tailoring of the past. Here’s a look at Spring/Summer 2010, again, its a collection to make everyone else stand up and take notice.

“It’s been an amazing year. Being approached by several top international retailers was a major endorsement of what we are doing. Collaborating with Swaroskvi on their first ever menswear project along with Lanvin and Phillip Lim has been really exciting… and working on this new project with John Lewis has been so fulfilling. I don’t think there’s been anything like it before – it’s essentially a celebration of ‘the Best of British’ under one umbrella. Each season my father will be designing a complete wardrobe and collaborating with some of the most highly respected British heritage brands for John Lewis to create new unique garments. We received some of the samples just before Christmas and they look really strong. The first items should be in store from the end of February. Lulu inviting us to take part in London Fashion Week as part of Fashion East was obviously also another highlight of the year.”

UNDERCOVER STUDDED LEATHER JACKET

Easily one of the nicest leather jackets I have seen in sometime. This Undercover Leather Jacket is simple in cut and detail, with a studded shoulder panel, but it’s the amazing vintage finish which makes it stand out. Only 6 of these Jackets have been manufactured for release, so you’ll need to be quicker than normal when they release at Undercovers store on the 2nd January.

kicks: DIOR HOMME MID TOP SNEAKERS

Expanding beyond their high tops and low tops, Dior Homme introduced a new Mid Top sneaker model for their Fall/Winter 2009 shoe collection. This white Dior Homme Mid Top sneaker ($700) is one of the best colorways from that collection. Featuring white leather with contrasting sliver & light brown stripes and a grey suede toe, these sneakers give off a much sought after luxury appeal.

lookbook: KANYE WEST FOR BAPE SPRING 2010

It's been a rough year for Kanye West. Especially after that little fiasco at the VMAs. But a man can only stay down for so long. Like a phoenix rising from the ash, so doth Kanye — or at least, photos of him. West modeled for Bathing Ape's spring 2010 look book. The long and familiar relationship of Kanye and BAPE continues with their upcoming release which focuses on a distinct style of the brand. With a combination of Bape and URSUS Bape, the brand introduces a new style including belts as wells shirts, work trousers, tees, varsity jackets and even colorful hoodies which they are known for.

design: JIL SANDER FOR UNIQLO

street style: THE STYLIST WHO WORKS WITH RIHANNA

Anthony Darnell Washington II styles video shoots and editorial spreads, but his own look is "ever-changing." His favorite thing to wear is sweats. (The pants he's wearing are vintage from a Japanese shop, however.) And Anthony loves Prince's style, which perhaps you've noticed Rihanna sporting now and again. "She's like a muse to me even though we're like family." Find out what else he's wearing by watching the video.

lookbook: 10DEEP HOLIDAY 2009

You already know what I got my eye on!

fall: JEREMY SCOTT 'ROLLS' CREW NECK

The big fan of Jeremy Scott that I am, I couldn’t help but fall in love with the Rolls Crew Neck Sweater ($330) in black. If you can get your hands on this sweater it’s a good choice for the winter season. I like how they incorporated the Rolls Royce theme with the metallic threading. Niceeeee!

GUCCI F/W 09 MEN'S ACCESSORY COLLECTION

This collection is for the strong, young and confident Gucci man. It's like Jet set meets Jean-Paul Belmondo. Such a dope collection - from the crocodile leather messenger to the pony calf duffle.

fall: DSQUARED SOFT LEATHER BIKER JACKET

Temperatures are dropping and staying warm has become a necessity. We all know a nice leather jacket is a must have however, if you’re still not prepared for the cold take a look at the Dsquared Soft Biker Leather Jacket ($2,654). This leather jacket has a really interesting cut as well as pocket and zipper detail.

fall: COMMES DES GARCONS SHIRT COLLECTION

We take a closer look at some new items from the Comme des Garcons SHIRT Fall/Winter 2009 Collection. The brand presents some new coats, shirts, as well as some new knitwear. We especially like the toggle coat and the patchwork shirt. The knitwear also looks very interesting. The goods are now available at Tres Bien.

stunt: PHARRELL x HERMES CROC HOODIE

Fashion can be expensive. High fashion can be super expensive. And custom high fashion can cripple a bank account.

If you're Pharrell Williams then money is no object, and you can blow your hard earned cash on a one-of-one (none before it, none to come) crocodile skin Hermés hoodie priced anywhere between $18,000-$75,000.

The Parisian fashion house, known for their ornate stylings and über expensive goods, has previously designed custom bags for Williams who as proven not to flinch when faced with plunking down a pretty penny. We just hope this Laffy Taffy purple jacket goes well with the paint PETA will undoubtedly splash him with when he makes his next public appearance in it.

Here above you see one of the low top lace-up sneakers.

fall: COMME DES GARCONS SHIRT

Comme des Garçons shirt. CDG is one of those (read: armani, boss) with multi confusing diffusion labels. “shirt” is supposedly targeted at the younger audience, with lower priced points. The toggle coat is available online at farfetch.com and retails for £235, not bad at all.
