In the 1960's and 70's, as the art world was awash with innovative works, bold hues, and eccentric artists, few characters were more innovative, bold, and eccentric than David Hockney. The English painter was one of Pop Art's proudest dandies, and his use of color and texture in his paintings was only matched by his use of color and texture in his wardrobe. While Hockney has toned his style down over the years, the photos of him working in the studio from the sixties — in his rounded spectacles, knit ties, and striking shirts — are a great reminder of one of modern art's proudest eras.

Take this shot from 1965, for example. At first glance, Hockney looks a lot like any other artist slaving away over a stack of prints. But as with all great art, it's the little things that make the difference. In this instance, it's the bengal stripe on Hockney's shirt, a pattern which might seem standard, but can actually be quite bold. For most men...

The biggest news coming in from the Cannes Film Festival today has nothing to do with the silver screen. This morning it was reported that $1 million dollars' worth of Chopard jewelry has gone missing in the French city, and it was most likely stolen. Wait a minute. A diamond thief? The French Riviera? Isn't this the plot from Alfred Hitchcock's 1955 classic, To Catch a Thief? Just a case of life imitating art, we suppose. And while a million bucks gone AWOL is no laughing matter, the whole debacle did remind us of how damn debonair Cary Grant was as a reformed burglar drawn back into his trade for one last score. And how, nearly 60 years on, Grant's style is still, well, worth stealing. Check out how, after the jump.

"The aim is to create pieces that reveal something new every time you see them," says Carolina Castiglioni, the Head of Special Projects for the Italian label Marni, regarding the fall 2013 collection that helped inspire her newest collaborative project, a photo book aptly titled Marni Uomo.

Marni is known for its playful prints, vividly colored knitwear, and a certain tousled urbanity, but of course things shift season to season. Which is why Castiglioni organizes an ancillary venture to help encapsulate the ethos of each collection. For fall 2013 she's partnered with art director Dean Langley and photographer Clare Shilland on the aforementioned book.

"These projects help narrate the collection in an alternative way, and help reflect its spirit," says Shilland. Castiglioni adds that, "For fall, the clothing dictated the direction and aesthetic: the tension between convention and rebellion, classicism and subversion. Clare has the ability to create a strong but gentle atmosphere in her images, something that closely parallels Marni's image."

In addition to the book, Langley has created a limited edition printed T-shirt, which will be available at Marni's boutique in New York's Meatpacking District starting this Sunday and online at marni.com on June 3rd. The fall collection itself won't be available for a few months, but until then you can admire our collection of exclusive images and an accompanying video. See it all, after the jump.
