Nudity: The Best Menswear Fashion Trend Ever

November 3, 2010
CALAMITOUS

We don't know much about fashion but we know what we like, and we love the abundance of naked men in recent editorials. Blogger Lester Brathwaite at fashionindie.com is calling this a full on trend. Please let him be right.

Between the above shot from VMan's "Model Citizens" editorial to this image of male model Nils Butler in last month's issue of Vogue Paris, it would seem that some photographers, stylists, and editors are finally giving in to their basest impulses and stripping their sexy male models of all those pesky clothes. If you've got a perfect body, perfect bone structure, and a perfectly coiffed pompadour, why distract from all that with silly things like a shirt or pants? Toss on a classic leather belt and maybe a fake horse tail and you've got a jaunty winter outfit that you can wear to the office! This, we take it, is the logic of an industry run primarily by women and gay men. But hey, we're not arguing.
