The model guru. Cameron Alborzian was born in 1967, from english mother and iranian father. Between the late eighties and the early nineties he was a top model, that many of you maybe remember for Madonna’s videoclip Express Yourself. Then Cameron took an interest in natural medicine and became yoga and reflexology instructor, graduating in New York. In 2003 he moved to India, in Coimbatore, where he increased and improved his knowledge. He contributes to Huffington Post and during the years he writes for several newspapers, from The New York Times to The Times of London. I think that if today he meets Ms. Ciccone, he wouldn’t be shaken. The greatness of Cameron is a mirage for the main part of us.

Mars in furs. Be realistic. A man in furs is a pop-star habit. It’s not strange if they’re worn by Elton John. Or if it’s an artist, or an actor, that shows off an animalier blazer. The fur on a man passes by (almost) unnoticed when we see it worn by show-business men, artists, trendsetters or eccentrics intellectuals. In the 70s it was in fashion, and was worn by “common” (meaning unknown) men. But they dared, at most, to wear lined shearling or coats with fur lapels. Today it’s an “aesthetic challenge that’s worth trying” (as written by the colleague Michele Ciavarella on Style). Is it right? Maybe. My point of view: if we’re talking about eco-fur, ok, let’s try. Or rather: you try. If it’s real fur, of any kind of animal, I choose the Facebook option for those who don’t want to join those annoying group chats: “Leave the conversation”.

Moschino denim in a country-chic mood. Anything but irreverent, but actually, it’s really elegantly sexy. Ph. Giovanni Gastel, Styling Alessandro Calascibetta.

Jeremy Scott ha scelto Londra per debuttare il menswear Moschino. Alcuni pezzi sono indovinati, altri meno; l’impressione generale è che il designer possa fare di meglio, come del resto ha dimostrato con talento e intuito nella collezione donna che, rispetto a questa, era più omogenea nella sua stravaganza e nella sua freschezza. Trasportare l’ironia e la vitalità di Moschino nell’uomo è più complicato. E il casting non è stato d’aiuto, anzi.
