Oh heavens me!!! The image was *beautiful* in a very Pre-Raphaelite way, and was also rather fascinatingly gender-ambiguous. I curiously leafed on...
What a gorgeously, gorgeously styled fashion feature, and in my opinion, most definitely inspired by Pre-Raphaelite visuals. It's delightful to me to see how, at least for these models, the poses, accessories, and color palettes that are more often gender-stereotyped as "feminine" work so wonderfully.

Some *beautiful* male models there - very elven, particularly the blond one. I love the idea of men wearing flowers - in my opinion it does *not* detract from masculinity (after all - flowers are the "masculine" parts of a plant). And they *are* very Pre-Raphaelite! (I feel Simeon Solomon would particularly have appreciated them). :D
so gorgeous! j.crew has a line of pieces out now that are done in Liberty Prints~i wonder if some of the models here are wearing liberty~i think it is very cool that these prints will be available for men's wear too!
