G-Star + Vs. Magazine: Devouring Art

By Matt Bell | | Style & Grooming

G-Star Vs Magazine Devour Art Rie Rasmussen Marie de Villepin fashion show film

Whoa. So, at about 1:50 in the film here, Marie de Villepin who you know as a former face of Givenchy, transforms Rie Rasmussen’s innocent-enough art museum inspiration break-in into an effusively psychedelic performance-art fashion show. Or maybe more clearly, think Night at the Museum if only Mapplethorpe had any say. If that doesn’t make complete sense, don’t worry because it’s art and, well, it’s not always supposed to, but our friends at G-Star and Vs. Magazine who collaborated on the film with Rie Rasmussen (who’s also the main star) say that, “this film tells the story of a young, ambitious painter hungry for artistic inspiration. She’s so hungry that she breaks into a gallery to ‘devour’ the art exhibited. Enveloped by moonlight, she’s enraptured by the sculptures, modern paintings and raw art that surround her. Then things get dreamy… Boundaries blur; the real and unreal are indistinguishable. Encircled by art incarnate, consumption begins.” And well, models…art…G-Star collection and Raw Art Objects…we’re feeling it people. Check it out after the jump.

Maybe NSFW.

For the first time, Riccardo Tisci brings the sensual Givenchy man to the world of rock and roll. The Fall/Winter collection revisits his obsessions with America, sport, sexuality, Greek Neoclassicism, the flag of the United States of America, and infuses a strong Latin attitude and Mapplethorpe iconography. The overall mood is powerful whilst the silhouettes mix high couture elegance, utility workwear and urban streetwear.

You’ve broken every diet you’ve ever read about (and probably some you never even knew existed), drank every last drop of sugar infused libation, and have probably skipped the gym enough that your muscles get indignant at the thought of things like, you know—walking. Bad. But that was December—holiday time—which invariably leads to the now—January, that rare month when you’ve got the dogged motivation of an ascetic to get back into the gym. Good. Also positive is that the return to the gym means you’ve got an excuse to gear yourself up. So do it right. You don’t really want to appear all that self-aware (it’s a treadmill, not a catwalk), though you don’t want to look like you’re in your PJs (yes, people are checking you out). We suggest—keep it simple, functional and wear things that’ll make you feel strong as an ox when you starts sweating like a pig. After the jump.

By Matt Bell | | Style & Grooming

Yes, Halloween is for costumes, but if going so full-on isn’t your thing, there are still ways to be part of the night. How so? Maybe go with a skull T-shirt? Here, here and here are some non-played out styles. Also a polo. But you’re a style man and wanna make a little more impact than that, no? From slick T’s to conceptually inspired prints…from YSL to Paul Smith, from Kid Robot to Jeremy Scott, here are some handsome pieces that nod to the spirit of All Hallow’s Eve and, that actually, you could probably wear again, on other, less frightful nights.

So treat it that way. When you grab for your iPad, remove it from something that means business, like these 10 iPad coverings. All are all well designed, made of premium material and say you’re determined to get shit done.
