The buzz around town

New trend alert:

Ok, we hate to break it to you, but ‘meggings’ are a thing now. Yep, you guessed it right, it is leggings for men.

While we are all for equality, there needs to be a line drawn between bizarre and fashion, and that line is definitely for meggings. A number of celebrities have been spotted sporting this trend, including Justin Bieber, Russell Brand and Conan O’Brien, and to say that we are mildly scarred looking at those pictures, would be an understatement. Having said that, if you are a man who wants to check out this new trend and wear it in public, you can buy yourself a pair from www.meggingsman.com

Brooklyn Beckham lands cover

David and Victoria Beckham’s oldest, Brooklyn, recently landed his first magazine cover.

Following in the footsteps of his famous, camera-friendly parents, Brooklyn, who turned 15 in March, appeared in a 20-page fashion editorial wearing top designer brands, and on the cover of Man About Town magazine. Shot by his parents’ friend Alasdair McLellan, we love how suave he looks, and we have a sneaky feeling his female fan base will increase by a few thousands.

The event concluded with a show by singer Brooke Candy, who the designer announced as his latest muse and collaborator.
