Fashion post: Cory's modeling + Emma's style

[coverallthebasses]

Clothing brand Five Four has recruited Glee star Cory Monteith to model in its holiday 2009 ad campaign. Don’t worry, these outfits aren’t Bruno-style monstrosities – the campaign won’t shock anyone accustomed to seeing Finn’s preppy stripes and jock gear. Some of the styles (see them all here) are certainly a better look than the Glee letterman jacket, and he looks especially great in those cool sunglasses. But the pic of him with one shoe off looks a little too “catalog model” – still, it’s funny in light of Finn’s revelation this week that he can’t tell his left from his right.

What do you think, could Cory have a moonlighting career as a model?

What was your inspiration for Emma’s style?
Oddly enough, Jayma is my inspiration because she’s got that perfect little body to dress, the big eyes, the red hair. And the way she plays her character — she’s just so innocent and sweet. But she’s really also quirky, like with her obsession with germs.

What was your approach to styling her?
We wanted to make her look like everything’s so neat — perfectly ironed and tucked-in shirts with matching belts, shoes and pins. We wanted to make her stand out from the other teachers. She’s always so happy and excited, so we wanted her outfits to represent that sunny disposition. In the pilot, we made her look much more teacher-y. Now we’re having more fun with her character, keeping her bright and unusual. Quriky is the word. Emma’s also always in stacked Mary Janes or T-strap heels. It takes the outfit down from being too stylish or too sexy. It makes her look prim and almost old-fashioned.

Are there certain colors you use on Jayma?
In the pilot, we tried to do some browns and greys, but we felt it didn’t work. It’s not any specific color, but we use pops of color to grab your attention and put some fun pins or necklaces on her.

Where do you shop for her?
Mostly J. Crew and Anthropologie. We also shop at Saks, especially the brand Milly. They do that great little tribute to the ’60s. We started collecting the sweater chains all over town, especially antique stores and vintage clothing stores for the pins. I’m obsessed with sweater pins!

I really like Cory out of Glee. He was charming and funny when Chelsea Lately interviewed him. He looks good in those photos. I would like to see all the cast do a spread together at some point.

Emma is so colorful, I love it when she's on screen. I like Emma's and Kurt's fashion sense.
