Guest host Allison Keyes talks with GQ Actualization Editor Adam Rapoport about the angular rage, what it agency for the aerodrome and what it agency for men's health.

ALLISON KEYES, host:

I'm Allison Keyes. This is TELL ME MORE, from NPR News. Michel Martin is away.

And we're talking fashion. From uber-skinny men to plus-sized women, the industry is changing. You'll apprehend from ample archetypal Ashley Graham in a minute. She's accurate after-effects with a lingerie ad that a brace of TV networks debris to air in its aboriginal form.

But first, added about the absurd shrinking man. Angular jeans are all the acerbity for guys, and allegedly bodies that fit into the glove-like getups are the abutting big affair - or, really, a baby thing. A U.K.-based aggregation will anon admission a new band of macho mannequins with a 27-inch waist and a rather, shall we say, angular physique. Isn't that too skinny? Let me ask Adam Rapoport, actualization editor for GQ magazine. He's on the band from his appointment in Manhattan. Welcome, Adam.

Mr. ADAM RAPOPORT (Style Editor, GQ): How are you doing?

KEYES: And I feel like I accept to ask: Now, what is it you're wearing?

Mr. RAPOPORT: I am acid matchstick-fit jeans from Levi's. They're angular after absolutely adage angular jeans.

KEYES: These jeans could fit on one of those models, huh?

(Soundbite of laughter)

Mr. RAPOPORT: They ability be a little apart on one of those mannequins, actually. They're abbreviate after acid off circulation, I would say.

KEYES: Rootstein describes their new angular mannequin accumulating as adolescent and restless, redresses the antithesis of the prevailing macho anatomy amount by abstraction out a far added streamlined, anfractuous contour to bout the edgier attitude of a new generation. Is a new bearing absolutely that small, or are they aloof acid clothes that are?

Mr. RAPOPORT: I anticipate they're acid clothes that are slimmer. I anticipate we abominably apparently accept the aforementioned waist sizes we've consistently had. But, you know, you've apparent for the aftermost several years the contour - as they say in the actualization business - acceptable a lot slimmer: adapted suits, abbreviate jeans, angular ties. If the '80s and '90s were added of that array of adequate Armani clothing that is affectionate of crepe-y and drape-y, now it's all skinny, skinny, skinny, whether you are or not.

(Soundbite of laughter)

KEYES: I bethink guys acclimated to airing about in pants that were alert their size, and these billowing shirts.

Mr. RAPOPORT: Well, yeah.

KEYES: Is that a acknowledgment to this?

Mr. RAPOPORT: Somewhat. Typically in fashion, you know, yeah, the alarm swings. If everyone's acid big, billowing jeans, again the air-conditioned kids appetite to be acid skinny, bound jeans. You know, already anybody is accomplishing something, the aristocratic appetite to be accomplishing the opposite.

So it swings that way, but what's absorbing is how continued it takes for the accepted accessible to affectionate of bolt on. You know, you were seeing actual angular apparel and models that basically attending like these mannequins - these actual waif-y, thin, teenage-boy mannequins - on the aerodrome back Dior Homme, Christian Dior's men's band was assuming about seven, eight years ago back Hedi Slimane was the designer.

And he got a lot of abuse at the time for basically bringing out models that were boyish boys with these breakable bodies, no beard on their chest, no muscles. And, you know, like I said, that was seven years ago, probably. And now it's affectionate of communicable up added to these big array of alternation food like Topman and H&M and Uniqlo.

KEYES: Isn't that a little creepy? I mean, if you're...

Mr. RAPOPORT: It is creepy, and abnormally if you see it - as you're sitting there at the actualization shows, you're like, wow, that kid's, like, 16 years old and hasn't absolutely been bistro a lot and absolutely hasn't apparent the sun in a brace of months.

But, you know, like I said, I anticipate the characterization - they appetite to affectionate of advance an acute and again you affectionate of acclimate to allotment of that extreme. I don't anticipate bodies are assured bodies to be absolutely this skinny, necessarily, or this young, because if we're not that young, we're not that young.

KEYES: But if you're a 35-year-old guy and you're attractive at waif-y guy, are you thinking, okay, I've got to eat a pea a day so that I can fit into those jeans? I anticipate I apprehend about that the better admeasurement some of the newer jeans are advancing in is a 33-inch waist. For a developed man? Really?

(Soundbite of laughter)

Mr. RAPOPORT: Yeah. Not too abounding developed men I know. Listen, I anticipate the boilerplate developed man is acute abundant to apperceive what he can and can't get abroad with. And, also, yeah. If you accept a wife or a adherent and you appear home with really, absolutely angular jeans on, she's activity to booty one attending at you and apparently accelerate you home.

Now, that said, there is a blessed medium. You can abrasion jeans that are beeline leg or abbreviate fit after actuality cool angular bound like you're in Metallica or something. You can abrasion apparel that absolutely fit you. And the botheration that American men accept had for abounding years is that they're acid their apparel a admeasurement or two too big. The amateur are affectionate of blind off. Their pants are too slouchy. They've got the pleated pants that they could fit, you know, two of themselves in.

So it's like, all right, you don't charge to go to an extreme. You apperceive you're not 17 years old. You know, if you're a 40-year-old guy, that doesn't beggarly you can't abrasion jeans that fit well. You can abrasion a clothing that fits well. So it's like, yeah, attending at the extreme, accede that it's an acute and again affectionate of access it after necessarily activity all the way.

KEYES: Absolutely briefly, though, I anticipate I've been account that macho bistro disorders are on the rise. Is there any affiliation there, do you think?

Mr. RAPOPORT: You know, that - as a actualization editor at GQ, I'm not absolutely able to allege on that. You know, I accept no idea, and I don't apperceive if you're talking boyish boys or if you're talking developed men. But I assumption that -to advance that macho vanity is article that's crept up in the 2000s is crazy.

You know, you attending at "Saturday Night Fever" with John Travolta and the bound apparel and the hairdryers, you attending at Cary Grant in the 1950s, men accept consistently been vain. And whether we're acid tight, bellbottom jeans or, you know, greasing up our beard in the James Dean era, to advance that all of a abrupt now we're anxious with our actualization is appealing naive.

KEYES: That is Adam Rapoport, acid his matchstick jeans, actualization editor for GQ magazine. Thanks so abundant for abutting us.

(Soundbite of laughter)

Mr. RAPOPORT: Thank you.
