Head-to-toe denim: Edison Chen proves it can be done

Denim poser: Edison Chen tries really hard to make his Canadian tuxedo look cool. And succeeds.

Through his CLOT Inc. clothing line, Edison Chen has achieved an immaculate balance between self promotion and consumerist hype and he looks like such a sexy poser while doing so that we kinda buy into it.

One of Christmas' biggest guilty pleasure splurges for Hong Kong's scenesters will be the latest collaboration effort between CLOT and Levi's jeans. After the success of their summer items, the creative collective are pushing out dark denim jeans and jackets with a golden metallic sheen for winter. It's perfect for that, um, ironic luxe-grunge club-rat look.

But what really got our attention are those leopard print sneakers on Edison's feet. What is going on here? Are those Converse? Or Keds? More importantly, are leopard print mens footwear actually, like, acceptable?

The first thing that comes to mind when we hear "leopard print" and "men" is the below. If this trend catches on, it might actually top meggings on our Asian metrosexual remorse index.

Nice kicks, Chen ...

... but Bruno does leopard better.
