Russell Brand Slams Hugo Boss as Nazis

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,

Russell Brand hit out at the GQ Awards sponsors Hugo Boss claiming the company's founder was a "Nazi."

The 38-year-old star picked up the Oracle of the Year award at the ceremony at the Royal Opera House in central London Tuesday night, but he referred to the history of sponsors Hugo Boss - who formally apologized in 2011 for their maltreatment of 140 Polish and 40 French workers - and they founder, who became a member of the National Socialist Party in Germany in 1931 and supplied uniforms to the Sturmabteilung, Schutzstaffel, Hitler Youth, National Socialist Motor Corps, and other party organisations

Russell also made light of his accolade and made a jibe at his friend Noel Gallagher, who was sharing a table with him: "Oracle? That's got to be a made up award so I would turn up. It was also a great source of news when I was growing up, alongside Teletext. I would like to thank that pixelated news source and say to Noel, good luck being more offensive than that son!"

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News,

While comedian Russell Brand is not one to stray from his goth/glam/trashy look, the newly Mr. Katy Perry recently took a daring fashion plunge in New York with this fuzzy, suede coat. It may be cozy, but I think that everyone can agree that the comfy argument still doesn't make Ugg boots okay -- the same applies to Brand's look.

If the funny guy wants people to take him seriously, perhaps he ought to take some outerwear cues from Joshua Jackson.

Russell Brand Influences Katy Perry’s Style, Dislikes Shopping

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Men, Women,

Russell Brand and fiancee Katy Perry are starting to influence each other’s dress sense. The British comedian and the “California Gurls” singer have been together since last September and Russell admits they are now adapting their styles to suit the other’s tastes.

“I would like to endorse that idea. I think I’ve started to wear more colors and she’s started to go darker.  She’s started to dress less like a pantomime character and is a bit more sexy - a bit grown up.”

Although Russell - famed for his eccentric dress sense - is a fan of designers like John Galliano and the late Alexander McQueen, he admits he doesn’t find shopping very fulfilling.

“My look is a collision between bondage, 70s rock ‘n’ roll and a gentleman at the Henley Regatta. I don’t go shopping much because I find it hard to commit to an object. Will I ever wear these? Then I question the value of consuming, trying to make yourself feel better just by buying a pair of shoes. I think, ‘Will I feel better after I’ve bought these shoes? Or will I just be me…in some shoes.’”
