It's Tommy Hilfiger on acid. It's Warriors of Radness meets Abercrombie & Fitch. It's Gant by Michael Bastian SS12!

Jon Kortajarena for Jean Paul Gaultier

One of the Lust List's first [and favorite] Model Lusts, Jon Kortajarena has been busy working his signature pout for Jean Paul Gaultier.

We all know and love Kortajarena for his acting in Tom Ford's "A Single Man" and his work with Mr. Ford, H&M, Guess?, V Man, etc. But, his new work with Gaultier is the latest bit of lust for our eyes and noses.

Gucci SS12

Not since Rihanna has red looked so good. Gucci's SS12 finds streaks of red splashed across classic wardrobe staples.

Marc Jacobs New Era Cap

As fate would have it, I stumbled into my Melrose home [Marc by Marc Jacobs] just in time for a new shipment of New Era Caps.

This amazing collaboration with Marc Jacobs is usually sold out, so I had to take advantage of the fresh stock. The cap is available in four different variations; "Paris" [pictured], "New York", and two colors with "MJ". 100% wool. $35.

Marc by Marc Jacobs SS12

GQ is calling it "pantone-enhanced prep" and I couldn't agree more. Marc Jacob's looks for Marc by Marc Jacobs SS12 show is just the right fresh, spring-worthy twist on a classic! Bright colors is probably what you'd expect from a Spring show, but often not what you get.

Tom Ford's 10 Rules of Style

Who better to give advice on style than Lust Icon Tom Ford? While surveying through old issues of Details magazine I found this article from December 2008. Mr. Ford gives advice on suits, grooming, accessories, and my favorite advice on sexuality I've ever read.

1. I don't believe in playing around much with suit cuts. I like a fairly classic shape that gives a man strong shoulders, a fitted waist, and long legs. Classic simplicity always works.

2. Someone who is secure enough to be very present when relating to another person is sexy. In other words, a good listener always lands who he wants.

3. When mixing patterns, don't think about it too much - just throw it together.

4. I hate the trend of short suit jackets. When a man's butt is showing below the bottom of his jacket, I think it makes him look like a female flight attendant from the back - not my idea of sexy.

5. With jewelry, I acutally like bracelets more than anything else, but they have to be small and simple. Cary Grant always wore a simple gold bracelet and his watch, and I think it was very chic.

6. If you're careful not to overuse Botox, then yes, why shouldn't you use it? A little bit of it between the brows can make you look less stern and more approachable. Who needs to frown, anyway?

7. Just like girls need to learn how to be comfortable in heels before they go out in them for the first time, a man should try wearing a suit throughout a normal day. I do most things in a suit - and sometimes even in a tuxedo - and i'm really comfortable in one.

8. When it comes to grooming, keep earwax out of the ears and keep stray hairs and flakes of skin in check and you should be good to go. In the morning, I put ice cubes on my eyes and use a lot of Visine.

9. Time and silence are the most luxurious things today.

10. There's one indulgence every man should try in his lifetime: If you're straight, sleep with a man at least once, and if you're gay, dont' go through life without sleeping with a woman. Either way, you might be surprised at how natural it will feel if you can get past the mind-fuck of stereotypes. In the end, it's just another person that you are relating to in a physical way.

Virgine Magazine's 'Like A Virgin'

The Lust List loves a good fashion spread. Combine that with our Lust Icon Madonna and things can't get any better!

Virgine magazine recently did a tribute spread to the Queen of Pop ["Like A Virgin"], boasting that, "very few icons have had the scope of vision and longevity that Madonna has." Or fashion sense for that matter. The proof is in the pictures that touched on Madonna circa everything from "the Girlie Show" to "Like A Virgin" to "Erotica".

Christian Louboutin 20th Anniversary Book

Look into his sole. To commemorate his 20th anniversary in the shoe business, Christian Louboutin and Rizzoli will publish this 304-page self-titled book. Check out this overview from Barnes & Noble:

"An extraordinary monograph created by Christian Louboutin, renowned for his beautifully crafted handmade shoes, in particular his elegantly sexy stilettos. This stunning volume, with a fanciful and intricate pop-up, an elaborate foldout cover, and dramatic still-life photography, evokes the artistry and theatricality of Louboutin's shoe designs.
Celebrated for his vertiginously high stilettos with their signature lacquer-red soles, Louboutin has achieved cult status with celebrities as well as fashionistas. His eclectic and exotic designs, often incorporating feathers, beads, and sequins, are a constant and dramatic presence on the red carpet and in nightclubs and restaurants the world over.
Louboutin's first book, this monograph highlights the extraordinary range of his couture, from his iconic and glamorous creations to his fetishistic pieces, including his collaborations with David Lynch, meant more for the bedroom than the street. New photography captures Louboutin's artistic sensibilities, while an in-depth interview reveals Louboutin's life, travels, and inspirations, presenting a very personal look at the man behind the shoes.
A work of art in itself, with a five-piece foldout binding and a pop-up, Christian Louboutin is an enticing and revelatory look at the most important luxury shoe designer of our day.
The book is divided into six chapters. The first chapter covers Louboutin's biography, his start as a designer from his work for Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent to his first boutique in 1992, and his early creations and influences illustrated with many never-seen-before photos from his personal archives; chapter two features the Louboutin boutiques around the world showcasing the varied and extravagant interior designs and displays; chapter three is "20 years of design" and highlights his shoe designs from over the years with all-new still-life photography, as well as editorial art; chapter four features the spectacular interiors of Louboutin's homes in Paris and Luxor, Egypt, and behind-the-scenes shots from his studios and workshops; chapter five focuses on his creative collaborations with David Lynch, of a series called "Fetish," of limited-edition shoes by Louboutin and limited-edition photos by Lynch; chapter six is a complete catalogue raisonne of his work, with photos of all 120 shoe designs."

So, throw on your red soles and march down to your local Barnes & Noble on October 25. Or, you can just wear your stiletto's to the mailbox and pre-order your copy here.

Christian Louboutin + Bella Freud

For those who lust for Christian Louboutin, you no longer have to limit your options to bags and shoes. The designer has teamed up with Bella Freud for three exclusive sweaters available at Net-A-Porter.

"Christian Louboutin lends his artistic prowess to Bella Freud's signature coquettish designs with this black merino wool-blend sweater, part of their collaborative 'Fetish' collection. With a chic shoe intarsia designed by Louboutin himself, it's a playful piece that works well when dressed up with leather and chunky accessories."

Jon Kortajarena for V Man

One of the very first Model Lust's [and one of my personal favorites] Jon Kortajarena is giving us new reasons to lust this month. Jon appears in the pages of V Man for their "Archetypes Issue : An Inventory of Masculinity".
