The modern magazine redefined. Print media as new media. The magazine as an experience. The magazine as a collector’s item. I’ve described Collection magazine in all of these ways.

Whilst in our trend report about the belt purse has so far limited it to being a women’s spring 2011 accessory, the Marc by Marc Jacobs spring 2011 collection has other ideas. Featured prominently in the line’s campaign, the designer has taken the accessory to a male audience by pairing a larger, more masculine take on the bag with a pair of tailored shorts on…

His effeminate image has set been a point of much discussion in his relatively conservative home country of Australia, but it’s also guaranteed male model Andrej Pejic much cut through in the wider fashion world. Hence his walking of the Paul Smith catwalk at the recent menswear component of Paris fashion week followed hot on the heels of his casting in Jean Paul Gaultier’s s/s…
