NYC's Hottest Guys at Kohl's Rock & Republic Launch

 Friday night, the famed Hammerstein Ballroom in New York hosted the city's hottest men.  ON the runway, a diverse mix of fit male models strutted out in edgy looks from Rock & Republic's new collection from Kohl's.  

Vests were tailored to show off the perfect chest or muscled arms.  Motorcycle jackets gave an edgy look over rock and roll printed graphic tees.  Jeans were long, straight with a great dark, and colored washes.  Accessories included cuffs, heavy belts and darted necklaces.  Athletic shoes were studded, crinkled leather dress shoes were posh.

Off the runway and down the red carpet, a dream team of hearthrobs from the show "Gossip Girl" made an appearance.  Representing both the tailored look and the scruffy ends of the spectrum, Ed Westwick and 

Penn Badgley made our GLAM blogger team swoon.  

More than a fashion show, it was a big party!  We danced with all the male eye candy to DJ Ruckus and I got to have my guy test drive the Rock & Republic jeans and tee at the end of the night.

Dan or Chuck?   Which runway look rocked your world?
