The new Spring 2009 issue of Vman magazine features a collage of the hottest new male fashion with international inspiration in their editorial ‘Color Me Bad.’

Shot by Josh Olins and styled by Jay Massacret, the editorial features Japanese style by [Dolce & Gabbana](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dolce-gabbana-dolce), Indian style by Salvatore Ferragamo and even nomad Bedouin style by Giorgio Armani with the hideous MC Hammer pants.

Other designers who made it into the feature include [Gucci](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-men), [Givenchy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mask-fit-red-cushion), Jil Sander and Calvin Klein.
