Maria Cornejo’s Latest & Where the ‘Beef!’ Is

Maria Cornejo -- a favorite of the First Lady and arbiter of feminine yet distinctly modern styles, not to mention flats -- is introducing something for men this spring. According to The Cut, "the designer first previewed four unisex menswear looks at her Zero + Maria Cornejo spring 2010 runway show in September, and the response was so positive that she expanded her men's offerings for the season." The collection will include "a printed scoop-neck T-shirt, navy rain jacket, sheer brown sweater, and tailored black pants -- as well as drawstring wool shorts, cotton fleece blazers, and cotton mesh knits." Also to be included in the mix: a plaid print which hits Cornejo's namesake NYC boutique and No.8b come mid-January.

Meanwhile, Forever 21 and Karl Lagerfeld aren’t the only proponents of print over digital. Meet the latest men’s fashion title to launch on the scene, Beef!, which Magestic calls “a curious new offering from Guhner and Jahr, one of Europe’s biggest publishing groups.” Although entirely in German, Magestic offers a translation of what’s in store for Beef! lovers. Essentially it’s “like Esquire, but with meat instead of suits: clean design, good illustration and photography, four different kinds of paper (all thick and matte), original content ideas, and a lot of ‘what modern man simply has to know’.” Well, the latter is up for debate considering this translates to “teaching 30-something advertising executives how to skin a rabbit, how to distinguish the different odours (and their meanings) of a wine gone bad, and that the world’s best whisky comes not from Scotland, but from Japan.”
