May object of obsession Jim Sturgess has taken on a variety of roles on the silver screen: from a rugged rocker, a dapper charmer, to a fur-rocking, mutton leg-eating Tudor heartthrob.

Now it’s time to detach him from the screen as we say ‘Happy Birthday, Jim!’ by decoding the honest-to-goodness Jim Sturgess signature style.—DALLAS DEEPKISS

Cover Boy

Sure it’s for a shoot and it’s on our cover, but we’re loving the polished yet laid-back look on Jim. Best thing about it is that doesn’t really fall far from what usually see him in. Keep it cool and downplayed with a crisp white button-down with a slouchy double-breasted jacket and jeans. Don’t forget to make it more playful with a pair of low-cut sneakers.

A Walk In The Park

You can’t get any more real than this. Just Jim, strolling by sidewalk on what looks like a very chill afternoon. In classic Jim, he keeps things casual with a denim-on-denim ensemble. Just make sure you take a leaf from his book and break that monotone block by layering in different shades. Finally, give it a twist with some stripes and suede sneakers.

Red Carpet Ready

Walking the red carpet in a sharp suit and killer accessories can definitely shoot up any guy’s standing from boy next door to debonair and dapper. Take some cues from Mr. Sturgess and avoid looking bulky or old by slipping into a jacket that fits you to a T. A skinny tie chucks the office vibes out the window but still keeps you looking like a sir.

How luxe can lounging around get? As comfy as this collection, we suppose.

Light and lush materials like jersey and silk are wrought into leggings, scarves, sweaters, zip-ups, and full, breezy maxi dresses. The set is a standout from down-dressing comfortwear as every garment is hand-dyed to a unique mix of singular prints in discreet purples, grays, and greens that come together for a pattern that’s anything but boring. They keep the clothes interesting by piling on the layers and playing with the silhouettes.—DALLAS DEEPKISS

An and En Estrada aren’t twice as evil as you may think they are. They’re actually quite the opposite. Behind the cameras are two shy girls who express themselves through film, proving that a photo can be worth a thousand words. And as far as misbehaving goes, they’d consider trading boyfriends if they were given the chance switch places. Wonder if the guys can tell by the kiss?—LADYZAZA 

How evil is your twin? 
An: Not as evil as you think. We’re actually quite shy in person!

Any juicy secrets they they’re hiding?
En: We developed an entirely fabricated secret language that only the two of us could understand so we can talk about people we don’t like even if they’re around or save each other from a possible kidnapping scenario.

A: I think it’s called idioglossia or cryptophasia. Twin Language.

How do you differ from each other?
A: I get different responses from people all the time. Some say eyes, others say nose, face shape, smile, or even eyebrows. Sometimes I get confused myself I don’t know what to tell them anymore.
E: We were at a fitting this afternoon and we just found out that An has broader shoulders.

What’s the first thing you would do if you got to switch places?
E: Trade boyfriends! haha kidding.

How would you capture each other in film in your ideal shoot?
A: En is always at her best awkward self in transit- at the airport, at a ferry, waiting, wandering. But it has always been a lifelong dream to find a random vintage photobooth in one of our travels.
E: At the beach. Film. Always.

It’s an urban jungle out there, and Japanese brand ACV dips into that well of urban pell-mell for inspiration and sketches it into its latest collection. More than animal print, it’s got an array of geometric prints all in their metallic glory.

It maintains some sort of balance, though, in the laid-back silhouettes matched with form-fitting pants and all the patterns strongly set against an all-black canvas. Leather panels and structured sleeves set into crisp button-downs and zip-up jackets top the entire set, creating an overall edgy look. —DALLAS DEEPKISS

The New York-based brand cooks up a storm with their collection screaming with color contrasts. Expect unconventional brights in solid hues and rainbow-shade gingham splashed into an otherwise no-nonsense ensemble.

The brand stays true to its dapper side, though, as featured in the collection are not only trousers and tailored jackets but their quality shoes all made with suede and shiny leather finishes. The crazy hues paired with classic cuts make for one odd year of any gentleman. —DALLAS DEEPKISS

Designer Michael McCaleb and his team headed over to the sandy surfs and busted ruins of Puerto Rico to shoot Zuriick‘s Cuatros Santos collection. The brand mixed lightweight materials with chic designs that innovate the average sneaker. Earthy hues with hint of yellow and blue gave the designs a zestier taste and texture.

It was our first time being in an actual fashion go-see, so imagine how excited and nervous we felt that day! It was held in the SMX Convention Center and the place was packed with hundreds of tall and good looking models wanting to be part of the show. When we got there, it was the STATUS Magazine team who guided us and introduced us to the brand director and other great people from Oxygen. They were all nice, very accommodating and made sure that our experience, as Oxygen interns would be as fun as we expected. We watched them as they picked from those pretty models. Being first-timers in this kind of industry made us realize how carefully chose the models that would represent their brand on the runway. We sat there for hours but those hours seemed to fly by since were having such a great time.

Overall, it was a great learning experience that we enjoyed very much. Being in the same room with the people behind the brand we love so much was like a dream come true! We’re anticipating the exciting days to come and we’re truly looking forward to the actual Oxygen Fashion Week Show!

Put news comedian Stephen Colbert and Vogue editor Anna Wintour in a room with fashion and gay marriage to play with and what do you get?

Ding ding! Round one!

The seminal fashion icon proved why she’s managed to stay on top for so long—she got the sharp wit to match her killer outfits. And to think it all began with a comment on the lack of risk in Stephen’s wardrobe. (“My suit’s not buttoned and I’m wearing a four-in-one knot!” ) Take a look at their fascinating spar session and get lost in the glow of Madame Anna.—DEXYLEBOWSKI

So we all know that Robert Downey Jr. is nearing the wrong side of 40, and even though The Expendables proved that even geezers can kick an entire jungle’s ass, the Iron Man suit isn’t exclusive to one man. Only a few weeks ago, Marvel Studios producer Kevin Feige went on record with Badass Digest and said:

“I think Bond is a good example. Let’s put it this way: I hope Downey makes a lot of movies for us as Stark. If and when he doesn’t, and I’m still here making these movies, we don’t take him to Afghanistan and have him wounded again. I think we James Bond it.”

And by James Bond it, the producer is referring to the fact that a series doesn’t have to be rebooted to go on living. In the comic books, when Stark finally hands his suit, his old pal Roadie takes the lead and saves the world. And while that isn’t Marvel’s plan (because changing actors is so much easier than introducing a new character and forming a transition film), the idea remains the same. Life goes on and so do superhero stories.

With that in mind, we did some deep soul searching and looked for five actors we’d love to see dawn the suit and the Tony Stark swag.—DEXYLEBOWSKI

COLIN FARRELL

Sure his Marvel debut in Daredevil wasn’t exactly good , but he’s hardly to blame for that. The movie sucked all by itself, bringing down all the actors with it. So isn’t it time we give Colin a break? And who knows? Maybe after Total Recall, people will actually start taking this suggestion seriously.

TIMOTHY OLYPHANT

I’ve only ever seen Timothy in Deadwood and I am Number Four (shoot me) but the former makes an extremely strong case and the later just proves that audiences can and will respond well to him outside the small screen—that and Justified looks helluh good. He definitely has the snark and personality to handle becoming the next billionare/playboy/philanthropist/scientist we all know and love.

CHRIS PINE

If Chris Hemsworth can be an Avenger and a member of the Enterprise (ok, maybe not technically but you know what I mean) then so can Chris Pine! Honestly, the guy oozes an irresistibly sleezy kind of charm that have girls flocking towards him. It’s really the best kind of typecasting.

MICHAEL FASSBENDER

What can’t Michael Fassbender do? He may not be an obvious choice, but I’d bet you he’d be an interesting one. Who cares if he’s already Magneto. Chris Evans was the Human Torch and we forgot that easy enough.

A RELATIVE UNKNOWN

Take a chance on somebody new? Hey! It could work!
