  • '90s by nature
    May 03 2013 | Take a look at pop culture right now: there’s a new Harmony Korine movie out, boys are tying plaid shirts around their waists, and Brandy and Aaliyah remixes are dominating our nights out . . . all over again. Whether we like it or not, the 1990s revival is having its moment. And since Fab
  • Give me the T
    Apr 23 2013 | It's T-shirt time! Here are some of spring's instant hits, modeled by Anthony. Remember to choose wisely: T-shrits will show everything about your style-- and body. And don't skimp on price; you're paying for fit. I'll keep it short and sweet and let the cute boy say it all. B
  • Trip advisor
    Apr 07 2013 | It’s the perfect time to book a last-minute flight to somewhere with sand, sun, booze and boys. My personal hotspot is definitely Miami. You’ll end up spending lots of money doing absolutely nothing at the pool, but it’s well worth it. If you’re like me, you’ll b
  • Friends in trends
    Mar 27 2013 | Here are some of the latest and greatest for this spring, shown on three long-time friends whose style (both individually and as a group) is effortless and fiercely casual. Be sure to check out the sexy Flickr slideshow below for all the looks! Charlie’s Angles All clothes are Brad’s
  • The look
    Mar 22 2013 | David Todd, one of the youngest and most experienced modelling agents in the business, is a male-model-maker extraordinaire. Having presided over the men’s division at Nous Model Management and Wilhelmina Models, he now runs his own agency, DT Model Management, in Los Angeles. Fab chatted with
  • Up-and-coming legendary children
    Mar 20 2013 | I caught up with eight Ryerson students during crunch time to talk about style and school. The boys are well on their way to becoming the tastemakers and cool-hunters of tomorrow. They were also super quick in front of the camera -- grabbing top honours in serving style and great face!  Chec
  • No nonsense
    Mar 19 2013 | Think about Fashion Week for a second. Go ahead. Seriously, do it. The lights, the runway, the skinny giants stomping to electronic bass beats. I bet you think of all the glitz, glam and flash . . . but how often do you think of the designer in the background, palms sweating, heart racing, nervously
  • Body break
    Mar 07 2013 | We’re finally on the brink of spring. It’s time to peel back the layers of last season’s looks and switch up our silhouettes. We’ve been seeing the loose shirt/skinny pant shape for a while now, so let’s strengthen our cores (and body confidence) and go tight or go home
  • Cash and carry
    Feb 22 2013 | Men’s wallets used to come in only two options: classic leather for dads, and Velcro for anyone under the age of 12. Now there’s one for every occasion — fashion meets function meets finances! The zip wallet has become somewhat of a standard. Like the Velcro wallet, it holds
  • Petal pusher
    Feb 12 2013 | Looking out the window, it’s hard to imagine that spring will ever come. For most, January blues are in full swing; we’re a lighter shade of pale, our social lives are paralyzed, and we’re sooo over wearing winter clothes. It’s time to shake it off and consider what yo
  • Give good face
    Jan 24 2013 | There was a time when anything skin-care or grooming related would smell like either your mom’s purse or your dad’s shoes. But like fashion designers, makers of beauty and skin-care lines have changed gears and now market tons of products to men and the unisex set.  Gay men c
  • Self-Service
    Jan 11 2013 | I asked two up-and-coming (and rather adorable) Toronto fashion photographers to take self-portraits that embody their work and personal style. I also chatted them up about their dream models, other talents and what inspires them.  Adam Moco, 26 What do you do?
  • New Year's ease
    Jan 01 2013 | When it comes to New Year’s Eve, I’m definitely the guy who waits until the last minute to plan my night. I try to be noncommittal and spontaneous, and I keep the same philosophy on what to wear. It’s definitely a night to make a big effort on your appearance: you want to start th
  • Sock talk
    Dec 01 2012 | Holiday house-party season is on! It’s time to start thinking about fun clothes, cute gifts and a lot of drinking. I have two pieces of advice that will make you the ideal party guest: don’t bring the cheapest bottle of booze, and make sure you’re prepared “down there”
  • How sweat it is
    Nov 20 2012 | Every season I have a new obsession, an item of clothing that I will end up buying multiple times and wear daily until I’ve worn them out. Past obsessions have included flared-leg jeans, trucker hats, T-shirts with sassy slogans and, until recently, quirky bow ties. I will proudly wear any of
  • Fancy dress
    Oct 26 2012 | It’s the Style Life Halloween edition! I’ve tried to ease the guesswork on who to be and what to wear. All it takes is your own clothes, a hot glue gun and your favourite makeup-artist friend booked in advance. If you don’t have one, I suggest you hit a MAC counter soon and befrien
  • Local heroes
    Oct 18 2012 | It’s a really exciting time to be a fashionable man. There are far fewer rules on how a man should dress, and the options in colour, print and style just seem to get bigger and better as more men look for something beyond a suit and tie. I chose three stores with unique points of view on me
  • Baggage claim
    Oct 10 2012 | As much as I love to live in the city, I love getting out of it more. There’s something about living downtown that leaves me hurting for either a peaceful, reception-free weekend in cottage country or an excessive and debaucherous weekend in a city with more everything. But always, I’
  • Men about town
    Sep 20 2012 | Streetstyle. When fashion meets function, you get a total look that will take you from point A to point B. And whether you’re commuting or staying within a four-block radius, you’ll still need the basics: shoes that look great but are well made, a jacket to protect you from Toronto&rsquo
  • Doggystyle
    Aug 24 2012 | To be honest, I was never a dog person. I grew up with Muslim parents, lived in a non-pet household (fish don’t really count), and a dog bit me when I was little. Everything about my face and body language reads, “Beware of dog.” And then I moved to Toronto, and dogs were eve
