Making Your Male Model Wear Shorts This Short Should Be Cruel and Unusual Punishment.




Nope, your eyes are not deciving you. That is fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld's male model, Baptiste Giabiconi. This photograph was taken in St. Tropez on Friday where Giabiconi and Lagerfeld were photographed talking and walking around.

It is unknown whether or not Giabiconi was wearing the getup for a photoshoot for one of Lagerfeld's lines or if he willingy chose to wear those short shorts. I'm not sure which is worst. Willfully choosing to wear this getup is bad taste on Giabiconi's side. Being forced by Lagerfeld to wear them seems like cruel and unusual punishment that makes me pity Giabiconi.

No man should ever wear shorts that short. Ever.

Racy Clothing Could Result in Jail Time in Dubai


While visiting Dubai, a Lebanese man drew a lot of attention to himself for his clothing choice. The man was spotted wearing a t-shirt designed by Marc Jacobs that showed a nude picture of Victoria Beckham and read "Protect the Skin You're In", which was part of a campaign in 2008 to draw awareness to cancer. While the man failed to draw awareness to cancer as the shirt was intended to do, he did draw attention to the Dubai police, as he was arrested for wearing the inappropriate shirt. The man was then sentenced to one month of prison.

Dubai obviously has different norms, rules, and expectations than America does. Compared to some of the clothes I see people wearing on a daily basis here, that shirt was rated PG! The people of Dubai have obviously never walked into an American Spencer's store...
