Gucci opened Gucci Garden within the Palazzo della Mercanzia in Florence on January 10, just in time for this year’s Pitti Uomo trade show. Renovated by Alessandro Michele himself, the space holds several exhibition rooms overseen by critic and curator Maria Luisa Frisa, as well as a boutique filled with exclusive products, and a restaurant with the best chef in the world, Massimo Bottura, at its helm. Now, for the 95th Pitti Uomo in January 2019, Gucci has unveiled its plans for a brand-new exhibition, after dedicating one to Alessandro Michele’s collaborations with the house the designer’s homage to Björk’s. Two news artists, succeeding the work of Coco Capitán and Jayde Fish, will present their new murals.
Spread over two floors, the Gucci Garden highlights the history of Gucci, from its founding in 1921 to the present day, through a series of exceptional artefacts such as clothes, accessories, video installations and pieces of art. Each room explores the inspirations that were driving forces behind the house’s success, such as flora and fauna, one of Alessandro Michele’s favorite sources of inspiration and a recurring theme for several seasons now. Artists such as Coco Capitán, Jayde Fish and Trevor Andrew who all contributed to Gucci’s rise in the art world, have also contributed to the space, redecorating its walls with their unique artistic vision. Following the work of Capitán, Fish and Andrew, two new artists will take over the Gucci walls on January 8 2019, just in time for the 95th Pitti Uomo. The new exhibition will take over from the Björk-themed presentation currently in place.

Watching Prada Men Spring Summer 2019 show we have noted a lot of looks that we dream about for ourselves.
We’re talking super short shorts, retro tone-on-tone belts, big puffy hats and a really nice set of bags… but what about those ‘super mini’ shorts?
Inspired by 70s and designed with patterns and colours from the 90s, the new trend proposal from Prada seems to be quite sexy and unusual at the the same time for the men’s world.
Muccia Prada used the words “more elegant” when describing how she wanted her men to look and she definitely achieved it.
I am already in love with those burgundy silky short shorts! What do you think about the new trend?
They are proud of who they are, they support ‘queer’ in all its forms and they have been strong influencers for the LGBTQ community through the years. Activists and after all, BEAUTIFUL people inside and outside:
The Transgender top model, singer and actor who has been one of our favourites in Ru Paul’s season 10 crew.
Check out his latest single Before You Go
The first open gay man who has participated in America’s Next Top Model. Model, activist and great musician
( Check out his music album UNIFY).
Bisexual Top model from Australia who notes collaborations with Dior, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Hugo Boss and Jean Paul Gaultier.
The first albino model who has been featured in Vogue and GQ and with collaborations with Givenchy and Alexander McQueen. It is worth mentioning his latest project - his first capsule collection for American Apparel.
Model and activist, Jack Mackenroth is HIV positive for 3 decades and he has been the main face for the HIV worldwide campaign for many years.
**WARNING: Before visiting his Instagram profile bare in mind that you will come across with some really HOT stuff.
Spooky season just got a lot spookier . . . and more sexy.!
On Monday, Netflix dropped a teaser for its sinister new anthology of horror shorts titled “Don't Watch This”, and it features the lovable chef from the streaming service's popular show Queer Eye. That's right, Antoni Porowski — known for pleasantly helping people improve their cooking skills — just showed us a side of him that might make us rethink going to one of his dinner parties (if we're ever cool enough to get invited).
In the clip for the episode called "Antoni Psycho," Porowski is clearly channelling his inner Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. He dons a Greek yoghurt face mask while doing a few yoga stretches in nothing but his Calvin Klein underwear (which isn't a bad start, honestly — LOOK at those abs). Totally normal, right? Well, things take a scary turn as Porowski wipes a knife clean as he eerily declares, "I don't care whether they like what I cook or not. They'll eat it if they know what's good for them." Ummm, what?! Who is the "they" that he's talking about? What happened to our smiley Antoni who just wants to help people make a nice dish of roasted potatoes? Antoni, are you OK? What did Netflix DO to you? As scary as this seems, it looks like we're going to have to give this a watch, because clearly Porowski has a bit of a dark side.

Jeremy Scott presented his collaboration collection, Moschino [tv] H&M.
The show saw playful and edgy pieces with pop culture motifs, such as the Mickey Mouse , repeated throughout. Scott’s now-famous obsession for bling and all that glitters was as evident as ever in the collection’s flamboyant, often oversized, jewelry. ( Could this be the start of a new cult jewelry trend? )
Particularly hard to ignore were the men’s chockers. The first, in leather, had bondage undertones while the second recalled 90s hip-hop nostalgia by means of large silver charms which spelled out “MOSCHINO”.
**The 1990s also proved a prevalent influence within the collection, as seen in these six images.

Making a global splash in Hozier's music video for Take Me to Church, no one can forget how mesmerizing Sergei Polunin is in motion.
Lucky for us, the Ukrainian dancer has published a new video project earlier this summer and it has become one of our favourites here at REY.
Polunin linked up with photographer Rankin for a video. Shot for Hunger TV, the project takes the form of a music video. Polunin is captivating as he performs to Tempo by the alt-rock group Husky Loops.
One of the most inspirational video clips we've seen lately - Enjoy!!

A Texan at heart, Tom Ford returns to his roots with his latest campaign. The designer unveils his latest campaign for the new fragrance Tom Ford Ombré Leather.
Bull rider Bonner Bolton and model Linda Helena embrace a contemporary western style in the campaign clip. The pair appears before the lens of photographer Steven Klein.
Setting the mood for the scent, the campaign is accompanied by the following: “Freedom comes from within, the desert heart of the west wrapped in leather. It moves forward, untethered, through the still air of wide-open space. Discover the new fragrance for men and women from Tom Ford.”
Eastern European ( originally from Ukraine) but based in Portugal, Ali Franco is a unique artist and painter.
"Lover of the erotic themes of the homosexual world, he represents a combination of concepts and taboos and gives us glimpses of bourgeois porn in candy covers, where Harmony novel atmospheres act as a setting for disturbing sexual acts among wrestlers of ancient Greece."
-Tell us a bit more about you and your art.
I was born within an artistic family, my parents have art education and my father always worked in museums and theaters, decorating rooms and the stage.
I loved so much to be in a backstage room, to see the actors preparing for showsand the busy atmosphere. I loved costumes around me and the makeup smell, it was like magic in the air.
Something else that stayed in my mind as a strong memory is the Apollo mask on the wall of my room. I was drawing him very often. Years later I was in love with the movies of Fellini Satyricon and Casanova. I guess all of these things had influence on me.
But I thought there is something I can't find and I want to see it...
I was looking for that something in books, magazines, internet and finally decided to create something by myself: homoerotic illustrations with the atmosphere I love: theater, Greek, French, Italian culture.
-How did you decide to follow and develop that section of art?
My first work pieces were not openly homoerotic actually. But people said “they look like gays, why do you do it? The guys you paint, look too feminine, it's so weird.” I guess I confused people around with my works.
I heard from them “it might be better to do normal things, because nobody needs paintings like yours”.
And I made a big break with my own artworks. I closed up and I was working just for requests, painting mostly portraits, landscapes, book and game illustrations.
But I believe it was a good experience in my life, that gave me new skill level and requirements. As a final point now they love what I create.
-Describe your art in three words.
Three main words are always with me when I'm painting - Passion, Beauty, Love.
-Where do you find inspiration? Books or paintings? Do you organise a set with live models as well?
I can say I'm more illustrator than a painter. I create a composition in my head and later I look for models. Sometimes my friends help me with this, sometimes I use photos… everything can be good in this case.
-How is fashion related to your work?
Talking about fashion, it's funny - as a teenager I wanted to be a fashion designer, to create interesting clothes, but at the same time I always thought - “it will be something out of fashion because it's too weird or complicated.”
I hope in future to use more clothes and hairstyle ideas in my artworks, maybe even to create some alternative or even a surreal world.
I like what is going on with fashion today - looks like we are very close to freedom, people can be creative and feel free to express themselves.
I'm really glad about it!
-Where can someone find your art and actually buy his favourite painting?
Two years ago I started to post my works on Instagram and didn't expected for a lot of followers, if to be honest. So I really appreciate all people who like my works! And I'm glad that people buy my paintings or art prints.
At the moment I have Etsy page for this (https://www.etsy.com/shop/AFstore) and also you can find some of my works in Filippo Ioco Studio and Gallery in Barcelona (http://www.iocostudiogallery.com).
-What are your next plans? Are planning any exhibition soon ?
I have so many plans - first to continue create new illustrations sure.
I hope to publish few books with sketches and color illustrations. Also to take a part in art exhibitions and to make a solo exhibition in two years.

On set at a fish and chip shop in northern London, Harry Styles appears in the new GUCCI men’s Tailoring campaign.
Wearing the House’s suiting designed by Alessandro Michele for Fall Winter 2018, Harry Styles walks in a ‘chippy’—the traditional British fish and chip shop—with a chicken and a dog. In a wool mohair jacket with embroidered collar and a striped suit styled with a gingham dressing gown, Harry shares his battered cod and fried chips with his pets, in a sequence shot by Glen Luchford and art directed by Christopher Simmonds.
