‘Idol’ fashion for men
David Cook
Hes like a total rocker. I think when he came through, he looked more like a cafe artist. Someone who youd go down to the local coffee shop and see, with his woolly scarves and vests, so weve taken that and now hes wearing a tailored suit jacket. Last week we had this guy called Logan Reese, who is actually doing the new ‘Terminator’ movie, you know the leather peeking out of the arm? Just to kind of twist things up a little bit with him. I dont want him to come out wearing a regular suit jacket. (Frank Micelotta / Associated Press)

To me hes kind of like a surf bum who has come into a little bit of money. And so a cross between Jack Johnson and Ben Harper. Jason when he first arrived was all about vintage, like kind of ‘70s Levis and tight shirts. So we took, basically, a modern interpretation of that. So, we kept him comfortable in the fact that he looked like he was wearing vintage but he was actually wearing kind of nice clothes, designer stuff. I really wanted to do that mix with a pair of dress pants a few weeks ago and he was like No, no, no. You cant mix denim with dress. It just doesnt work, and he got all flustered. And eventually you get him around to thinking that way. (Frank Micelotta / Associated Press)
Chikezie Eze
He at first was kind of tricky. He was one of those guys that, um, I get them every once in a while, who they love the first thing that you show them but then they want to see every other option. And you always end up coming back to the first thing. So, the first couple of weeks it was like, you know youve just got to pick one were not going to have time, just go with your first instinct. Its like, first instincts are normally pretty good! (Kevin Winter / Getty Images)
