This picture comes from Camo’s upcoming fall/winter lookbook, themed around the style of the casino. Note the housecoat blazer, the impeccable tie dimple and the dangerously short stack.

New York’s Milk Studios is mostly known for hosting Fashion Week shows and high-profile photo shoots, but they just jumped into the e-commerce game, offering prints, books and collectibles from their deep roster of photographers. It’s great news for anyone looking to snag some reflected glory—or interested in picking up a bigger version of this infamous naked snowboarding shot.
Also, if you wanted to see a picture of Jack White and Spike Jonze hanging out with the Beastie Boys, it could be arranged.

There’s been a lot of orange in the air lately, starting with this Boglioli sweater spotted by Jonathan Evans. As we looked more, burnt orange started popping up all over, as an unexpected alternative to the softer browns and beiges. You’ll be seeing a lot more of it over the next six months, so here’s a head start: a pictorial exhibit on orange at its best.

In honor of the playoffs, we couldn’t resist passing along this 1969 Sports Illustrated snap, which finds Joe Namath relaxing poolside with reporters in the run-up to Super Bowl III. Note the shorts, the fan base and the shit-eating grin. Eat your heart out, Rodgers.

We love a good belly photo.
It comes from an omnibus photo auction coming to Christies’ this Monday, and in the name of spreading the art around, we’ve pulled out some of the best of the bunch. That means Keith Richards, Mark Rothko and Horst P. Horst, along with some of best suits of the 1930s.
In this snap, Warren Beatty shows you how to dress for a Mediterranean boat party. You’ll need sunglasses, wool pants and swagger.

There’s always room on our desk for more photo essays about maritime jousting.
Our latest favorite comes from Victory Journal, a nostalgic, photo-heavy look at the world of sport. In other words, exactly the kind of sepia-toned legend building we usually get from No Mas. (No surprise, they’re involved.)
But mostly, it’s the only place in the world you’ll see a two-page photo spread of Fidel Castro pitching an inning for the Havana Barbudos circa 1959. Judging by his stance, the MLB didn’t miss much.
Before Stanley Kubrick got into film, he made his bones shooting pictures for LOOK Magazine—and now, a batch of the photos are hitting the market, courtesy of the Museum of the City of New York, shot between 1945 and 1950. His main subject was the nooks and crannies of New York, from boxers to carnival barkers to street kids, all shot with his famous eye for surreal compositions. We’ve thrown together a few of our favorites after the jump.

Today’s monochrome gem captures Marlon Brando circa 1948, sitting barefoot on a rolltop desk. The original print goes up for auction in two weeks at Julien’s. If you’ve got a spare $600, it’s all yours.
Also on the block: Jeff Bridges’ Big Lebowski pajamas and Ed McMahon’s expired driver’s license. So, something for everyone.

On the heels of yesterday’s Zuccotti troubles (captured in gloriously cheeky video here), we thought we’d take a moment to recognize the unique style of the American protestor.
It’s not flashy, of course, but there’s plenty to admire here, from the black suits of the civil rights era to the Oakie uniform of work shirts and weathered khakis. They weren’t wearing them to make a statement—they had signs for that—but it was part of the message nonetheless.
As it turns out, charisma has a way of making its own style, and they were never short on charisma.

Graham Smith was the unofficial house photographer of London’s club scene in the late ’70s and early ’80s, chronicling one of the most flamboyant, lurid and just-plain-awesome periods in grooming history.
For proof, check out the newly released We Can Be Heroes. It’s got hundreds of never-before-seen stills, capturing punk legends like Gary Kemp, the Sex Pistols, Boy George, Iggy Pop, Robert Elms and hundreds more in remarkably—and, at times, eerily—intimate preshow moments.
As Brit style writer Robert Elms explains, the London club scene in the 1970s “wasn’t a place for those who dressed up for the occasion but for those who dressed up as a way of life.”
The book goes on sale December 8. Click here for a Karma Chameleonic sneak peak…»

Apparently, Keith Richards was one of the very first to get his hands on that Pendleton x Opening Ceremony collab. We’re guessing he knows people.
Here’s another auction alert: The Henry Cartier-Bresson Foundation is holding an auction next month with signed prints of some of the man’s most famous photos—including this 1944 shot of Camus doing wonderful things with a peacoat. It’ll cost you roughly the price of a bespoke suit.
Sunglasses and tweed, gentlemen. Sunglasses and tweed.

This one comes by way of Ron Galella, who managed to capture John Lennon and Mick Jagger in the midst of an accessory-off. Personally, we’d take Mick’s buttonhole rose over John’s ’70s-sized bow tie—but Tom Ford might disagree.
