They said/We said: David Beckham’s assets are expertly displayed in the ad for his H&M underwear collection

Comments

By Bianca Teixeira

A first look at David Beckham’s advertisement for his H&M underwear collection has hit the web, and shall we just say, the Swedish brand sure knows its assets.

No stranger to flaunting his abs, pecs, glutes, and, well, you get it, the British soccer player first starred in Emporio Armani’s 2009 underwear campaign, and now he’s sharing once again. Set to launch on Feb. 2, the collection’s first campaign photo spotlights Beckham in all his glory—and a pair of $10 underwear.

The black and white photo features the star in his skivvies with his name in bold text stamped over his body. In an act of genius, the letters covering his inked chest have been photoshopped out. As we all wait with bated breath for more ads to be released, it gets us thinking: Should we all line up at H&M on Feb. 2 for Beckham posters to take home? Or shall we just hope that future ads come with a workable eraser—if you know what we mean.

They said/We said: About Face, a new documentary about supermodels reveals what it’s like behind the scenes

We all know modeling has always been somewhat of a controversial issue. Retailers are often criticized for their depiction of the female body—just yesterday Jezebel recently reported that fast-fashion empire H&M digitally produces the models’ bodies on their website and sticks on a real person’s head in post production. There’s also the whole “do models really eat?” issue, which recently made headlines when Victoria’s Secret Angel Adriana Lima revealed her diet prior to the big VS fashion show.  A new documentary About Face, premiering at Sundance next month, is also making headlines for its gritty portrayal of how supermodels like Christie Brinkley, Jerry Hall, Cheryl Tiegs and Christy Turlington were treated during the peak of their careers in the ‘70s and ‘80s.

To turtleneck or not to turtleneck? 5 picks in defence of this jugular-warming winter essential

Comments

Middle: The writer, over turtlenecked.

Baby, it’s cold outside. And we mean really cold. Not that scenic kind of “snow globe” cold, where everyone goes ice-skating wearing cable knit sweaters and sips gaily on hot chocolate, like in the Old Navy commercials. Rather, it’s that kind of cold where people curse under their breath when they first step outside, and take a cab to otherwise walkable destinations, spiking their hot chocolates on the sly as a means to survive the day.

Sadly, this kind of cold causes many of us to abandon all concepts style. “Oh? You don’t like this oversized puffer?” In that same vein, a fashion-friend tweeted this week that he was “disregarding trends, [and] embracing turtlenecks.”
