Jaguar Gives their XK model an elegant and powerful revamping with the XK Artisan SE. See more after the jump.

JayPerez — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 08:17:22 +0000

Chinese designer Six Lee brilliantly dissects traditional forms of menswear with sharp, avant-garde construction and design sense. See the latest F/W 2012 lookbook after the click. As a relatively new designer, Six Lee gets consistently more impressive with each passing season. (And deserves a lot more attention.) His newest collection for the fall/winter of 2012, ominously/appropriately entitled "We're All at the End", takes the basis of British gentlemanly style in a sober, near monochromatic color scheme and elevates it to a new sartorial level with sharp, well thought out construction.

JayPerez — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 10:12:40 +0000

The perfect mixture of sportiness and high style, Dior Homme gives us a masterpiece of footwear with these beautiful, beautiful sneakers. (not a typo) More after the jump. Dior Homme's canvas and calfskin high-tops feature a quilted canvas upper with reinforced metal eyelets, leather innersole and lining, and a white rubber sole. The shoe is offered in two different colorways- but for my money, the blue/green is beyond amazing. $789.00 Available @ LuisaViaRoma

Marni for H&M Spring/Summer 2012

JayPerez — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 09:46:53 +0000

H&M gives us an initial taste of their latest designer collaboration with Italian label Marni, offering up a relaxed, yet subtly offbeat range of menswear staples. See the lookbook after the jump. Right on the heels of one of ugliest designer collaborations in H&M history, (just my opinion) the retail giant is at it again with the Marni for H&M collection. With the lookbook photographed by Josh Olins, Marni's signature use of color and prints find their way into a sensible, subdued menswear lineup of chic basics that embrace a sense of modernity and stylistic freedom.

Photographed by the unstoppable Mert & Marcus, Calvin Klein's S/S 2012 ad campaign brings together a perfect mixture of timeless sophistication and bold sexuality. More images after the jump. Lara Stone and Tyson Ballou are the stars of the Calvin Klein Collection spring/summer 2012 campaign, as captured poolside by Mert & Marcus. While you can always count of CK for some of the sexiest imagery in the fashion advertising world, its been a good while since I've seen such overt sexuality handled in such a classic, actually very tasteful way.
