It's that time of the year again.... The September Issues!  It's pretty easy to guess which cover of Elle UK's September issue I will be purchasing.  Zayn Malik is one of the four covers for this year's Elle UK September issue.  I cannot wait to get my hands on this issue!

 

Ian Somerhalder: Men's Health Guide to Denim 2011

I must confess...I am completely addicted to The Vampire Diaries!  I'm a huge 'Damon Salvatore' (Ian Somerhalder) fan, so of course I had to post US Men's Health Magazine's 'Guide to Denim 2011' featuring Ian!  The editorial is similar to that of Ian's own personal style.  According to Ian, he likes to "keep it as simple as possible", consisting of a neutral colour palette..jeans, leather jackets and t-shirts, similar to that of his character Damon!

I've decided to turn The Lilac Mannequin up-side-down for this post...this post was inspired by none other than my brother! A few weeks ago my brother started a new job, so we spent half the weekend shopping and I couldn't resist styling him. I'm surprised by the many guys who seek my style and fashion advice and who follow my blog. So I've decided to try something new and start incorporating fashion posts for my male followers. Don't hesitate to let me know what you would like to see..style advice, male celebrity inspiration, street wear, corporate wear, editorials, runway collections! But because this post was inspired by my brother and his corporate wear, I leave you with Lagerfeld's new Fall 2011 collection featuring Baptise Giabiconi.

"Guys are like purses"

We all have World Cup fever and the fashion world is embracing it left, right and centre!  Just as the one and only Cristiano Ronaldo takes to the field, his latest Armani campaign is revealed.  The Fall/Winter 2010/2011 campaign includes Cristiano in Armani Jeans and of course in his signature Armani underwear.  The campaign will be released globally and feature in magazines in July as well as billboards in London, New York, Paris and Rome, just to name a few.  Whilst his skills in the modelling world are taking him above and beyond, let's hope he has enough skills on the field to lead Portugal to further victory!  Here is a little preview of the campaign..

As well as Armani, Dolce and Gabbana released their ad campaign for Autumn/Winter 2010/2011.  It's vintage meets Dolce and Gabbana and well some of the most amazing models!  I love how the campaign shows the process of tailoring and fitting the male models.

Taylor, Taylor, Taylor... Taylor Lautner that is!  In light of the release of the third instalment from the Twilight Saga, Eclipse, Taylor Lautner is featured in the July 2010 US issue of GQ magazine.  All I have to say is 'wow'!  Taylor on motorbike, Taylor in the air, Taylor in a suit, t-shirt and well topless.  Do you really need anything else from a photo shoot?  I think not!
