Bruce Weber Short Film for YSL Menswear - 
'Ain't Nothin' Like The Real Thing' when Bruce Weber melds with Bunny Yeager on film
"If you don't want to be nude, wear a suit" is what Bruce Weber originally wanted to call his short film.
Sometimes I feel as if I need to explain my references. I am sure there are souls who are not familiar with Bruce Weber's brillaint work.
Presently, he is the the most commercially known for his Abercrombie & Fitch photographs. Back in the day, it was for his Calvin Klein Underwear ads.
If you were a male model in the 80's and had a portrait by Bruce Weber in your portfolio, you instantly skyrocketed to having a certain covetable cache that made you the envy of all the other boys on the set. A modern, uneffected sensuality remains in his photographs which is impossible to duplicate, although many photographers have tried.
A couple of decades earlier, Bunny Yeager was first a model and then known for her glamour photographs. Her most iconic model is Bettie Page. Both photographers share a certain naturalness in their work. Specifically their nudes.

"Influenced by both the stark colors from late 1970’s and early 80’s designer labels like Comme des Garcons— an aesthetic he grew up with and learned much from—as well as his passion for Americana and Woolrich hunting plaids, Daiki Suzuki searched for a common ground and created a wholly new style that could be called “Dark Hunting” or “Hunting Noir.” "

Michelle Obama wears the matching coat & dress trend- hers is by Moschino -
Michelle Obama is very smart indeed when it comes to her fashion choices.
On the anniversary of the Obama’s first year in the White House and the day after the Republican gain for Teddy Kennedy’s Senate seat, Mrs. Obama chose exactly the outfit to make the right statement: A matching coat and sheath dress.
If I were the First Lady’s fashion advisor, I couldn’t come up with a better ensemble for today’s photo op. If it was Mrs. Obama’s choice, she continues to have marvelous fashion instincts.

Golden Globes Fashion: When times get tough, the tough go classic chic and have a cocktail (dress) -
... about the stars, the effort, the fuss & the circumstance that all that razzle-dazzle creates. Then, get the look for less!
Honestly, I’m not personally a fan of evening gowns.
It may sound crazy and positively out of whack for a fashion person to not be in love with red carpet glamour gowns but I prefer more wearable clothes that a regular person has use for in her wardrobe.

Glamorous gowns are the fantasy. Unless you are heavily involved in black-tie charity benefits, have a lots of friends or relatives getting married, or find yourself a mom on the Bar Mitzvah circuit, gowns are not really the most relevant article in your wardrobe. Let alone having the closet with a rack high enough to hang up those gowns—it becomes quite the ordeal.
Host Ricky Gervais arrives at the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards
As a stylist, I could get lost in the glamorous fantasy of to-die-for gowns and drop-dead jewels, my portfolio certainly had plenty of magazine covers to show that-- it was fashion escapism rather than a fashionable reality. I much prefer the latter.
However, every once in a while, we need to don an evening gown. Or take a moment away from our lives to fantasize about the stars, and the effort, and the fuss and the circumstance that all that razzle-dazzle creates.
