now THESE are some serious Fashion Icon worthy gents!

European Editor At Large of Vogue Hamish Bowles and designer extroardinaire Haider Ackermann at the 2011 CFDA Fashion Awards. 

I have been suffering from two morbid cases of man crushes on these two. Each day I grow more and more obsessed with their style, their careers, and everything that encompasses them. I have issues but can you really blame me? They're straight up fashion gangstahs! Swoon.

The Scent of Anna Dello Russo.

Her royal highness, Anna Dello Russo has decided to bottle up her gloriousness and pack it into a fragrance. She is the epitome of the fashionsphere, so I am more than certain that her scent will be nothing short of a nasal orgasm that will surely be addicting. Even better is her promo video masterpiece for her creation. Not only does Anna get captured in her free spirited, playful, and beautiful essence but you also get another glimpse into her visually intricate kingdom that is her apartment in Milano. Everything about Anna is beyond stupefyingly phenomenal. I'm always heart attack prone whenever she comes up on my radar but I wouldn't have it any other way.

SPOTTED: Tom Ford dapper in the streets of NYC

I'm already man-crushing on Mr. Tom Ford hard and this just tips me over the edge. I'm pretty much speechless. Can the man look anymore like perfection? Rhetorical question.

TexasOlssonMancrushSayWhat!?

I've currently developed a mancrush on Elite Milano model Texas Olsson. Don't ask me how and why, it just happened. Perhaps it's because he's Swedish yet has an awesome name like Texas, or it's his dapper coiffed hair, or his rad style, or the that he can alternate from a rugged man's man look to a boyish one, or maybe because gangstah has starred in both ad & video campaigns and walked for the likes of Energie, Diesel, D&G/Dolce&Gabbana, Lagom, H&M, Carlo Pigna, DSquared2, Filippa K, Zara, Vagabond, and Kenzo (to name a few)... he's got it all and he's just EPIC. Plain and simple. I mean, I have favorite guy models that I follow but Texas fascinates me in a different level; I get starstruck just looking at his work.

Random from I don't know where?

And like I said, kid is definitely stylin' on his free time...

Oh and if you think pictures of him are awesome... moving images of him are that much more gnarly!

And here's his interview backstage at the recent Dsquared2 show in Milan. [Which btw the video reminds me to get stacked pronto-- these manwhores are making me rethink my workout plan. Big F-U to them! Haha]. Oh btw, Texas appears @ 0:38 seconds in:

Alright so that was maybe a little too much Texas Olsson overload but tell me he's not EPIC!? I challenge you! I seriously need to get ahold on this mancrush because it's kinda f r e a k i n g me out. Do mancrushes count as guilty pleasures? Because that sounds way much more (not really) better! But on a real note, I do have insane respect for Texas and I really look forward to stalking following his already sicktastic career.

My obsession and lover, Olivia Palermo for Asos Magazine August 2010

Lily. Aldridge.

Google her, wikipedia her, fashionspot her... just get acquainted with her, NOW!

Print me up!

After rummaging through the latest of mens editorials, I landed upon a shoot for the current installment of Vanity Teen Magazine featuring model Francisco Lachowski. Although I wasn't totally blown away, I did get a good fashion fixe from a certain pair of awesomely rad print shorts. Check it out:  

All kinds of glorious, right? Anywho, I did a little Sherlock Holmes-ing and tracked this bad boy down.

Turns out it's from famed Korean designer Bumsuk Choi's General Idea S/S 2010 lineup shown at NY Fashion Week back in '09. How could I have missed this? So in true R. Gratz manner I've become quite infatuated with these highfaluting print shorts and I need to add them to my summer collection on the double! But after like 40,000 hours of getting my blue clues on the interwebs, I am fruitless. Sad face. My hunt will most definitely continue because I've come to the conclusion that I in fact need them to be able to function as a human being. I honestly wish that was a lie- it's NOT. So if you happen to stumble upon their whereabouts drop everything, burn the nearest thing in sight, and send me some smoke signals! Or maybe just email me. Gracias.

Alexander Herchcovitch Fall 2010 - New York Fashion Week:

Alexandre decided to go all Russian/Armenian/Georgian/Turkish Bohemian Folk on us and it was a legit call! The moment I laid eyes on the garments I became completely enamored by everything. I loved how he was able to take traditional folk dress and make them luxuriously modern with a dash of punk in them. Brilliant! I liked the array of the collection because it honestly had everything to offer; from dresses to outerwear, pants to blouses, and skirts to tights... there's something for everyone. But most importantly can we say D-E-T-A-I-L-S!!!!??? I don't even know where to begin. I'm completely and utterly baffled when it comes to understanding the intricacy of Alexandre's exceptional craft. I mean... WOW. There is not a single inch on any of his garments that doesn't make me feel overwhelmed with greatness. The delicate beading, the ornate embellishments, the chain draping, the studs, the combat boots, the baroque headdresses, the colored folk prints, the plaid, the EVERYTHING!!!! It was all exemplary and definitely unrivaled at fashion week. Actually, it was the best in show at the Mercedez-Benz tents. For sure.

Here are my favorite little hybrid Babushka's:

And because I'm insanely obsessed with the legitally baller headdresses...

And because I'm just obsessed in general, here's some behind the scenes shots...
