Joseph Gordon-Levitt OUT Feature


out

America’s most-beloved heartthrob, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is featured on the cover of the October 2013 issue of OUT Magazine. In the issue, the 32-year old actor articulates his role in the upcoming film “Don Jon,” and the ever-perpetual rumors and inquisitive notion about his sexuality.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt articulates:

On the film: “I wasn’t interested in making a movie about pornography,” Gordon-Levitt says. “I was interested in making a movie about how people treat each other like things, and all kinds of media can contribute to that.” In that sense, Don Jon can be viewed as an allegory for the way Gordon-Levitt has sometimes felt defined by his own celebrity. “I’ve been working as an actor since I was a little kid, and I’ve always been fascinated, and a little horrified, by the way people relate to images they see on screen,” he says. “Sometimes I feel I am seen as a thing more than a person, and I don’t think that’s unique to actors. I think everyone is subject to that kind of pigeonholing.”

Levitt on gay innuendos: Contrary to many celebrity-paparazzi encounters, no punches are thrown, no voices raised. Gordon-Levitt does not even bother refuting the gay innuendo (“That would be really tacky—they would win if I had to clarify,” he says).

“Don Jon” is scheduled to be released Sept. 27. In the meantime, please enjoy more from the interview at OUT.

GQ: Christopher Bastin on Gant Rugger’s Foodie Fall ’13


Gant-Rugger-Christopher-Bastin-Fall-2013-635

Matthew Sebra, fashion editor of GQ Magazine sat down with creative director of Gant Rugger, Christopher Bastin, for quite a compelling interview. In the interview, Bastin discusses the Fall 2013 collection, how the relationship between chef and ingredients relates to designer and customer. As well as, the inspiration for the line with his passion for food and drinks.

“I’m a foodie, and so when we started tapping into that a bit more, Gant Rugger has kind of evolved into something where we want to dress the people who inspire us, instead of the other way around. I think what we did last fall with the Fat Radish guys, that was the front line of the industry, and we wanted to dig a bit deeper into it,” says Bastin to GQ.

Also detailed in the interview, the aesthetic of the brand is discussed. With that, GQ asks Bastin on the lack of the “preppy” look in menswear society, and why he thinks that has come to be.

“I think it’s the same thing as what was going on three or four years before with the whole woodsman thing. It just feels weird. And Gant is about style, it’s not about fashion. We’re not out there on barricades, and we shouldn’t be; it would just become silly,” says Bastin.

The Southernmost Gentleman presents to you premiered images from the new Ben Sherman x Josh Sims book, ‘50 Years of British Style,’ presented by Port Magazine. In this, David Hellqvist of Port Magazine sat down with Sims for an intreview. In the interview, the creative mastermind discussed the book, British style, style icons, and how music and fashion manifested in British Style.

“If these style cultures are anything to go by, you’d have to call it masculine, graphic, simple and inventive. Like any true style, it’s not a reflection of how deep one’s pockets are either. The British are very tolerant of eccentricity in self expression. In fact, I think they love it.,” says Josh Sims to Port Magazine.

You can enjoy images Port Magazine premiered from ’50 Years of British Style.’ For more information on the publication, and to read the interview in full, please refer to Port Magazine. ‘50 Years of British Style‘ is available from Ben Sherman’s Commercial Street store this February.
