Alexander McQueen is releasing its first range of underwear. According to WWD  this was one of his last  design ventures  before his death in February.

The collection includes boxers, briefs, vests, pyjamas, cardigans, track pants and will be available in white, black, grey and navy. The boxers waistbands  contain the  classic McQueen logo.

The collection also draws inspiration from from McQueens archive of iconic prints. The feather print, x-ray, degradé, and bone prints all make an appearance in this underwear range.

The brand imagery was photographed by celebrated fashion photographer Alasdair McLellan whose  work has been featured in i-D, POP and British Vogue.

The launch collection will also include a limited edition  red boxer, adorned with skull shaped ribbon detail . A percentage of the proceeds  from the sale of these boxers will go towards supporting several Aids charities around the world.

The Alexander McQueen underwear collection will be available  from June 2010 and can  be purchased online at alexandermcqueen.com and in stores worldwide. Prices range range form £35 to £370 for the silk Pyjama set.

I have to say Arena Homme is probably one of the world's best man's fashion mag's. They recently did a photo spread called "The Life of a Boy Model". The spread was shot by photographer  Alasdair McLellan and features an ensemble cast of British male models including George Barnett, Cole Mohr, Ash Stymest, Josh Beech and Luke Worall. From looking at the spread it would seem that Life of a Boy model includes  getting a bad-ass haircut and  regular visits to the local tatoo parlor.  The modelling industry has really changed. In the 90's and 80's having a tatoo was like career suicide nowadays lots of the modelling industry's most in demand guys have  lots of ink.
