While fashion divo Bruno has been hitting the runways of Europe and influencing Zac Enfron's hair. Has Hollywood influenced Europe? Yes. Introducing: The Piggyback.


While it looks like the old standard it has been completely revised for the new millennium. Gone are the clunky utility of transporting someone from somewhere now it is a new fashion statement.

You can wear it almost anywhere, and guys no need to use pockets, the piggyback allows you to have you things carried for you, since you're carrying her. On the beach or on the streets, even stairs. It fashion and fitness at the same time. She 's fresh as a daisy and he's gotten a work out without the gym. It's making a statement without the making out.

Few Fashion tips to achieving the best success for The Piggyback Look.

Fit is key.
If the fit isn't right from the beginning it will never be vision of what is it supposed to be.

Contrasts can work.
Contrast can work but they can't be too drastic. You can put pearls with a hoodie but it just never looks right.

Balancing the look.
You have to have balance just like in all of nature. Too much can tip everyone over the edge.


Some are catching the trend, but have others already moved on? Mr. Jake Gyllenhaal? Has he already moved on to the new Gastronique look? Of course the Culinary world is white hot right now and fashion is taking a big spoonful. Care to review the trend menu of Crocs and Mario Batali?

Hot Stuff

Could it be really be true? There have been rumors and rumblings, casual mentions in interviews, and then those two infamous minutes on Ellen. Is it true that Jake is a.... a .... a Gastrosexual?


'Gastrosexuals' is the new buzz for a new generation of men consider cooking more a hobby than a household chore and use their kitchen prowess to impress friends and prospective partners. They can be male or female but the common denominator is their love of food. And that cooking for this new generation isn't simply a matter of refuelling. For them it's an enjoyable experience and something to be relished - they cook for pleasure, praise and potential seduction.

The average Gastrosexual male is aged between 25-44 and is upwardly mobile, well travelled and cooks for their own pleasure and the praise of others.

Jake loves food, he appreciates a good meal, and one that is shared with good friends. He has patroned some of the greatest restaurants in the world. His friends - chefs, both of the celeb and non celeb variety. It's known that he has gone and prepped in Mario's restaurants kitchens, improving those knife skills? or just a way to unwind anonymously in the back of house? Maggie proudly talks about his culinary prowess, and his fanboy for chef Jamie Oliver. His cooking adventures with Austin in the kitchen during filming TDAT. And his enthusiasm over Iron Chef when sitting down with Jay Leno. The rumors of restaurants ventures. And any man that can tackle Starbursts fruit candies for his secret ingredient while trying to cook with Ellen in two minutes, earns that glass of wine.

Between 25-44
Upwardly mobile
Well travelled
Love Food
Loves to Cooks for family and friends
Dined at some of the best restaurants in the world
Hangs with chefs
Slips into restaurant kitchens to work for fun

Sounds like there's no doubt ...

For pleasure - check.
For praise - check.
For seduction -- what do you think? well who do you think?

And who is Jake's favorite sous chef?
