What's up Vogue Hommes, It's Cody.
We're here in Milan today. It's 8 am.
We're going to the Fendi show.
I've yet to order my coffee.
You saved my whole life!
Italian fantasy?
Going out on Lake Como
with George Clooney.
With a lot of champagne.
Love you George!
How would I describe myself
to somebody who doesn't know me?
Relaxed,
introspective,
relatively calm.
And a guy who loves pineapple.
First thing I did, when I landed in Milan
was get to the hotel and eat a massive pizza.
You guys have the best pizza in the world
Yeah, I prefer Italian everything over American anything
You'd be stupid to think otherwise.
I beat jetlag
with a nice big, fat cappuccino.
Yeh, the French will know this: Arthur Rimbaud.
This is like my bible, yeah.
I take this complete works of his everywhere I go.
An Italian man or woman,
living or dead,
that I would like to have dinner with
would be Niccolo Machiavelli,
political philosopher and writer.
He has a book called "The Prince", that I love very, very much.
So today, I'm gonna be rocking this.
Fendi jumpsuit.
Probably nothing underneath,
collar up, kind of popped a little,
pinned down, bunch of necklaces.
Good to go. And...
These boots right here, with it.
I usually like to pair
some of these more classy looking pieces
with all my jewelry.
I love skulls,
so, I've got this little skull
bad boy on my main finger.
Basically, I just like to wear turquoise and silver.
I'm not much of a gold guy.
Mostly silver necklaces,
skulls, turquoise,
native American stuff.
This one's kinda cool.
This is a little shark tooth pinkie ring.
The most recent tattoo I got was
this statue head of Apollo
on the back of my arm right there.
I'm extremely interested in Greek and Roman mythology.
All the gods
and all the heroic figures in Greece.
Apollo being my favorite one.
They kind of made him look a little like a woman.
But I think he just did.
One of the first ever tattoos I got
was this anchor palm tree, right here.
The significance to me was
the idea that you can be anchored in the ground
and also be up in the sky.
This was an old French prison tattoo, actually,
that a PO had in a movie.
It was Steve McQueen. It's also my favorite movie.
This is probably one of the most significant one's
because every time I look at it, it reminds me to breathe.
I've changed my mind because I absolutely love this suit.
They've tailored it to me
and it's one of my favorite things Fendi has made
I've got a few style icons
on a couple of different ends of the spectrum.
I love the classic
James Dean, Paul Newman,
Steve McQueen thing.
And I also absolutely love
the eccentric Bowie, Jagger,
Jim Morrison thing, also.
So, I like to kinda sit somewhere in the center.
The piece of clothing everybody should own,
according to me, would be
a good fitted white t-shirt.
A fashion taboo?
The man bun.
And sandals.
Especially, together.
Clothes I feel the sexiest in?
Anything tailored, like a suit,
a blazer, kinda like this, or
just a white or black t-shirt
and jeans, tucked in.
This is what I do. I have to drink coffee in the hallway
on the way out
just to get one little last final buzz.
You know what I'm saying.
Italian elegance according to me
is like an eternal simplicity.
This is Italian elegance, right here.
The last Instagram post that I liked
was a sexy photo of my girlfriend on stage.
I was scrolling deep. I was like 84 weeks deep last night.
But it was my own girlfriend's page, so...
That's what I'm talking about, right there.
My favorite Italian movie?
In English, it's called The Eclipse.
It's by an old Italian director,
Michelangelo Antonioni.
One to many mornings
and a 1,000 miles behind.
It's a reckless, hungry feeling,
and it don't mean no good...
So many songs make me think of Italy.
Volare makes me think of Italy.
Enamorada, Volare, and On an Evening in Roma.
