“For a long time it was just those skinny guys, those boyish Prada types,” [Jason Kanner] said, referring to men like Cole Mohr — a model with jug ears and the body of a teenager — long a favorite at labels like Prada and Louis Vuitton. “I hate to use the word waif, but what else can you call all these skinny young hairless guys?”But now, it's the "real" man type. Jon Hamm and his ilk. Metrosexual look on its way out?
More from Guy Trebay, writing in the New York Times, October 17, 2010.
