  • 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.

  • Hi, it's Cody Simpson.

  • Don't forget to subscribe

  • to the Vogue Hommes Instagram.
