April 1, 2009 11:17 am
We dropped by Condé Nast’s executive dining rooms on Monday night for the party Gourmet hosted with Showtime and Macy’s to promote the new season of The Tudors. With images of Prada’s over-the-knee boots and Dolce & Gabbana’s puffed-up leg-of-mutton sleeves—not to mention Fall’s countless leather leggings—coursing through our head, we asked the show’s star Jonathan Rhys Meyers how he felt about being a fashion icon. To our disappointment, the hunky Irish actor, who plays Henry VIII, wasn’t willing to take credit for any of the season’s medieval allusions. “I don’t value myself as a trendsetter,” he said. “Joan Bergin is.” That would be Joan Bergin, the show’s Emmy Award-wining costume designer. Although Rhys Meyers did mention that if given the chance to wear any of the apparel off set, he would choose slops, the loose-fitting trousers men wore in sixteenth-century England, because “they’re so comfortable.” Does this mean we can expect the drop-crotch pants that proliferated on Spring’s women’s runways for guys next year? Stay tuned.
