Feld Hommes fashion editor Isabelle Thiry shares her experience styling Taylor Fuchs a couple years back, when he had just began modeling. Working with friend and photographer Daniel Schröder, the duo were tasked with shooting an editorial for Feld Hommes. The shoot took place “in Hamburg, in a rundown place on Reeperbahn, used and shared by artists as their ateliers…” She recalls Taylor being really cute and shy at the time. He was new to modeling and had travelled “all the way from Canada, just for the day.” However, despite his new status as a model, Thiry recalls Taylor being so much a natural that there was no need to show him poses or direct much if at all…for him, it just came naturally. Reflecting on Taylor, Thiry to this day thinks fondly of him as the boy with the “poetic face and the space between his teeth.”

Suiting up for next season’s cold, Michael Kors no doubt put the luxury in fashion, crafting a rich collection of camel hues that placed his man at the wealthiest of ski resorts.
