Marc Ecko to Release First Fragrance in September

Marc Ecko
We’ve received a tip that Marc Ecko will release his first fragrance in September. Previous reports pointed to a Fall release, but it looks like September is the target drop date. His first scent isn’t for the ladies. Well, it could be for the ladies if their men are wearing it.
Last November, Ecko announced a licensing agreement with Parlux Fragrances (the same team that brought you fragrances from Guess, Andy Roddick and Paris Hilton) to develop and market men’s and women’s scents.
While the details of the fragrance are still …

Model Behavior: Love to Hate or Hate to Love?

New York Magazine gave us another reason to dislike male models (and, perhaps, ourselves). In a stroke of genius and cruelty, they handed a particularly baby-faced chap named Cole Mohr a video camera and asked him to document New York Fashion Week. The resulting 2-minute video not only crushes your dream of someday walking down a runway in New York that’s not part of JFK airport, but it makes you loathe models more than you did two minutes earlier.
