The original provocateur of men’s fashion, Calvin Klein, interviews Marc Jacobs about health, life, and his new men’s fragrance Bang, in the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

In the candid interview, Jacobs discusses his controversial ad for Bang, his lifestyle change and body image, his design inspiration, and confesses that his fall collection, with its melancholy, sober mood, reflects his personal life.

On choosing to do a nude ad for his fragrance, Bang “I’m not Tom Ford in terms of the grooming and the knowledge of clothes and the precision and perfection of getting dressed. There’s nothing I can wear in this ad that isn’t going to look ridiculous. At one point, I tried jeans and a shirt, and it didn’t work. So then Juergen said, “Take off the clothes.” So I did, and that became the ad.” “I did feel good about the way I looked, so it was easy and—well, a guy looks better to me with no clothes on than with clothes! How’s that?” (more…)

He’s probably one of the biggest movie stars in the world, yet most people in the United States have never heard of him.

I recently had the opportunity and privilege to sit down with long-time Bollywood icon Aamir Khan in Manhattan’s swanky Four Seasons Hotel. The actor-turned producer-turned director is fresh off a film festival run with his latest produced work, Peepli Live. The film is about a poor farmer who is thrust into the media spotlight after he’s overheard saying that he would commit suicide in order to collect the monies granted by the government to the families of indebted, deceased farmers. Though farmer suicides are a very real occurrence in India, the film takes a satirical, light approach to the heavy topic. Peepli Live was the first Indian film to compete at Sundance, earlier this year. Khan’s most recent role as an actor came with last year’s 3 Idiots, which has become the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time.
