Liam Payne is the Newest Hugo Boss Ambassador

Joining the ranks of Jamie Dornan and Chris Hemsworth (to name a few), former One Directioner Liam Payne has been announced as the latest ambassador for HUGO, a new sublabel within Hugo Boss that focuses on edgier urban-influenced tailoring. While the German label has frequently worked with many it-men in the past, the partnership with Payne is the first time the designer is working with a celebrity on an exclusive capsule collection.

 

“Liam is not only a very talented musician, he’s also got great style,” Peter Deirowski, Brand and Creative Director for HUGO, said in a statement. “This type of creative partnership is something we’ve never done before and we can’t wait to show everyone what we’ve been working on behind the scenes.”

 

Payne will star in a series of campaigns shot by Mert & Marcus later this year ahead of the launch of the capsule which is scheduled to launch in July during Berlin Fashion Week. Check out the first campaign shot below.

The Internet is Real Mad at…

PEOPLE ARE M-A-D MAD AT…

Robin Thicke, who was caught blurring the lines of marriage (see what I did there!) when he hit the dance floor at Club 79 in Paris. Taking a page from the Kristin Stewart Guide To How To Get Caught Cheating, Thicke was snapped kissing a lady that’s not his Mrs.

Juan Pablo Galavais, who chatted with a reporter from The TV Page (who?) at a network party and said that a gay man would not make for a good Bachelor, telling the reporter (who verbally agreed with him) that homosexuals are “more pervert in a sense”.

Esquire Magazine, which posted an article titled The Straight Man’s Guide to HBO’s Looking. In it, writer Mike Stingley, gave a bevy of cringeworthy quotes including, “You’ll be praying for a car chase and checking your phone a lot watching this,” and “…after four episodes there is not one reference to The Wizard of OzAll About Eve, or Barbara Streisand”.

Liam Payne, who had to endure an onslaught of Twitterfare after posting a Tweet to a Duck Dynasty cast member that included a shout to the “family values [they] still all behold”. Besides meaning to say uphold, Payne also neglected the power of his reach, forcing himself to backpedal with an onslaught of kinda/sorta/half-assey apologies.

Google, who sent out a now-leaked company-wide email that gave its employees talking points (Ex: “I am so proud to live in San Francisco and be a part of this community”) in regards to a public hearing on shuttle regulations for their private transit lines. The addendum: feel free to add your own style and opinion.

Shia LaBeouf, who keeps on keeping on.

Justin Bieber, who… who cares!

Bonus:

Joan Rivers, who called the sole heir to the Kardashian/West empire an “ugly” baby, noting that she’d “never seen a six-month-old so desperately in need of a waxing.”
