Bears…Oh My!
Filed under: Anglophilia > Fashion Smashion
Leave it to maverick designer Vivienne Westwood to get tongues wagging!
On Sunday, Miz Westwood featured what the gays would call a "bear" of a man in her Milan fashion show.
He's not the 'typical' model you see strutting on the catwalk.
Is this a new trend?
Do u like????

From the neck down…yes!
yucky
I'm scurred.
Are you all stupid or something??
This was made as a protest, or as a response against the new rules about gipsys by silvio berlusconni in italy.
Ignorants-
I THINK SHOWING CLOTHES THEY WAY THEY LOOK ON "REAL" PEOPLE IS F*CKIN GREAT!
The clothes totally suck but the guy is hot! He looks the way a real man should.
I'm not getting the butterfly.
YES.
Re: john –
FUCK OFF ASSHOLE ..I DON'T SEE YOUR FUCKING SMELLY FUCKING ASS ON ANY FASHION RUNWAY….FUCK URSELF….I AM SURE THIS GUYS LOOKS BETTER THAN YOUR MORE THAN LIKELY EMACIATED GIRLY BODY..I AM SICK OF GAY GUYS LOOKING LIKE PRINCESSES…
the outfit is ugly, but the guy is hot for a persian
Re: GirlsAloud –
FUCK OFF….GO DIE SOMEWHERE…
nice guy, yummie, clothes are not that cool
straight kiwi woman says ' Whoaaaaaar'!
YESSSSSSSSS! Ms. Westwood has balls! Finally, something different, interesting and real. Needless to say, I LOVE IT!
Much better than those stick insects they throw down the catwalk in Europe. Bring it on!
Now that's a real man! More models like this! Yum
Not my thing…
But variaty is always good
Grrr Woof Yeah! More please.
He is BEAUTIFUL….
Love him, hate the outfit - specifically the belt.
This guy is hot. Love it!!!
LUV A DADDY!
It was a Gipsy Theme Fashion Show…
he's gorgeous. they should have more men like him on the catwalk. finally a real manly man.
I want one of those to go! He is gorgeous. The clothes, hmmm…
oh no, i love vivien but she is so wrong for this! yes, fashion is for everyone to enjoy but the runway is all about fantasy and performance, i dont wanna see some everyday average bear walking down the catwalk like he's the hottest shit! his body isnt complimenting the clothes and his face is ugly, its distracting and makes the outfit look cheap and average, i want theatre from my designers
FUCKING HOT!
LOVE WESTWOOD! LOVE MY BEARS!
the village people are back?
HELL YEAH hes the daddy! love it!
NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!
I think it's AWESOME to have interesting people like him on the runway! It makes a person pay attention more, like, woah, double take. Very cool, VW knows her stuff. LOVE IT! bravo!!!
bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler. bueler.
anyone else think this man looks like BEN STEIN!?
Is this guy supposed to look like a heterosexual?
He looks like a white guy trying to dress like a rich black rapper .
He needs to be black to look good in that stuff otherwise he is a poser.
No man gay, straight, should ever be caught dead with a butterfly belt.
You are STEVES no EVES
way better than a feminine looking guy.a man who looks like a man.like it
so totally HOT!
yum yum yum yum…
i want some honey mr bear.
dribble
Re: sup – A persian???
LOVE IT! the guy's real.. not the ussual pretty boy we see everytime..
and not as young either.. Love to see a man in the catwalk not the same old baby-faced..
yeah i'd fuckin' blow him
OH MY WORD he looks like he just came out of a 300 movie hes hot i would lick his abs whoooo
Yes! No more pretty 18 year old boys please
Clever. Yummy. Thanks, Perez and Vivienne.
I like the guy better than the clothes. His body is nice but his face looks dopey. Maybe if he smiles a little.
It's the "regular guy" look!
The kids are going to eat it up!
Those pants are ridiculously stupid.
The guy, however: much better. A guy who actually looks like a MAN, not some 15-year-old androgynous crack addict. Imagine that.
Love the chest hair! The natural look is so much better. However, I cannot stand back hair! But yes, more chest hair, please. Can't stand guys who shave their chests and the hairs grow back and the stubble is rough and stings! It's really annoying. Just have chest hair already! Signed, a fan of chest hair!
YUM YUM YUM!
Nice to see a real man on the catwalk instead of the usual emaciated, shaved, plucked, and powdered anorexics.
He's got a great body, very fine. I wouldn't mind having that bear smother me, AT ALL! But, the face. He looks like some sort of terrorist to me. Cleanshaven and longer hair would have looked better.
Ewwww- all over waxing needed here! Vivienne Westwood has lost her fucking mind if she thinks this is fashionable or hot. Ugggh…now I've lost my breakfast.
awesome! love it- Vivi is always breaking boundaries and shocking people. Rock on.
While I personally do not like the outfit itself, I do like the fact that she used this man as the model. For one, I am tired of seeing feminine, skinny boys on the runway. I am also tired of seeing skinny, boyish girls as catwalk models. This man (and don't be mistaken because this is what a MAN looks like) is the kind of model that could pull off such an exaggerated macho, almost downright corny outfit which paints an apt caricature on part of today's society. Yes, I like. I like it a lot in fact.
That wasn't the point. Westwood's models where gipsies in order to protest again the immigration laws in Italy, that affect mainly to these people.
Love Westwood love everything she does
Love it!!! Real people, real men. He is Hot LOL
Ohhhh, I sooooo heart chunky guys. Love it!!
Hallelulah, enough of these sickly looking feminine male models! Men are meant to be manly! If this guys is a bear, then get me to the woods!!!!
Probably a bottom though
Probably a bottom though
Now do something about Vivienne Westwood's HIDEOUS face!
That guy is HOT! Love to jump in the sack with him.
Don't see a damn thing wrong with it…..minus some chest hair
yeah, real men a last, not like all those little boys!
Don't really like the outfit, but the guy's alright. I think it's very refreshing to see a guy like this on a runway. And what is this obsession with hairless bodies… why are people screaming "wax please"??
My hubby has a body that 99% of all men can only dream of… but he is so self-conscious about his chest hair… even though I tell him it's SO MANLY.
HOT HOT HOT!!!
i am so sick of the metrosexuals. this looks like a REAL MAN. no more waxing!!! yeah for chest hair and real muscles!!!!!!
smoking hot
Perez, you're like 3 days behind on this. But I guess LA is perpetually on a fashion news delay.
Hate the outfit, love the guy. He's a real man. The people who are saying "Wax" are idiots who don't know what a real man is like.
me aproves! if they look this hot!
This is probably the type of guy who's more likely to wear this outfit, so good for her. Enough with the manorexic models.
Oh my Gosh. Help. What the f… is that? Can't have sex for the next few weeks.
YES!!!!!! More people that digest their food on the runway!!!!!
Finally! A real man!
love this look..hope this trend sticks….
OMG HOT HOT HOT
Love him!
I Love bears. My bf is 6'3 and 250………..so the bigger the better!!! HULK!
About time they started dumping the anorexic hairless little boys that are built like twigs. Hopefully they will keep up the real man models. Totally hot.
HELL YEA!!!!! Sexy!!!! I like men with some meat on them. Women want to feel tiny next to their men…
SEXY!! I'D DOO EM'!
take the fugly outfit off and that man is definitely edible…nothing better than a nice sized hot hairy man…pretty is for women..bring on the bears!!!
ew, wax that chest!
just from reading this blog itself has given me self esteem! I never knew that this many women would think that guy is hot. Thats awesome! Most men dont have the ripped 6 pack and 5% body fat. Dont get me wrong guys we need to stay in shape, but some meat on your bones is good. Feel good about yourself!
who is with me?!?
Finally some real looking men.
Don't m;ind the body and the hair chest but that guy is just butt UGLY!! GAG!
very sexy model, ugly clothes.
I love it!!! A male model that actually looks like a man, not a pretty boy.
Not that pretty boys don't have their place……. (smile)
I think its great to finally see some real type people. There are to many plastic, barbie and ken models, not saying they dont look good and good for them for having great genes and being able to maintian that body. But its old at this point, lets have a mix of people doing it. The designers would make more if they made bigger sizes anyway… Just my opinion.
i don't have a problem with the body hair, or the fact that he's a little heavier… but the face. he is NOT attractive….
Re: Babab – you are such an offensive, closed-minded idiot.
just because he has dark skin, and middle-easter features, you think he's a terrorist?… you're fucking stupid.
I love! That's what a REAL man looks like! HOT! Wanna see more guys like him! Not the airbrush freaks!
Looks good to me. Kinda yummy.
bad clothes, hot man
LOVES IT!!!! WE NEED MORE BEARS PROWLING THE RUNWAY!!!
omg hahaha I know this guy…when i studied abroad in milan i met him, he owned a tanning salon and he was a body guard for celebrities
What a HUNK! I wish more men looked like that rather than the metrosexual shaved pretty boy who borrows his girlfriends hair products.
Yummy!!
Thanks miss Westwood!
Can anyone tell me his name and phone number….
Yowza. That's a real man. Not one of those girly men that usually grace the runways.
When gay men dominated the fashion industry, they hired gay-boy models and little girls who looked like gay-boy models.
Everyone had to look like a little boy, and fashion (loosely defined) was designed for little boys bodies.
Praise the Lord for straight women like V.H. She does not pander to the gays.
I think it is about time they show someone that we would see in public or on the streets than someone we know we would never meet at the grocery store or the video store!
Whats up DADDY!
hes nice looking but why does he look like hes gonna fall asleep
