Clean Slate–Red Citizen model Olli Greb stands in for a digital update, showcasing his immaculate facets.

Boys, Boys, Boys–For my second day of this new exclusive ‘Casting Call Diaries’ series for The Fashionisto, I chased models across Paris from Haussmann buildings by the Chicissime Avenue Montaigne and Avenue de L’Opéra to some more industrial photo studios in more popular districts; out of a slightly ambitious program of eight castings I managed to cover six : Dior Homme, Mugler, Louis Vuitton, Arnys, Yohji Yamamoto and Alexis Mabille … This journey proved to be pretty intense behind the camera due to the amount of models who would never miss giving it a chance at castings for such major shows even if they have to carry an umbrella, but granted me to pin to my list of daily trophies the likes of Yuri Pleskun, rising star Bapstiste Radufe, Nicolas Ripoll, Matvey Lykov, Douglas Neitzke, Lyle Lodwick, Corey Baptiste, Paul Boche, Victor Nylander, Alexander Johansson, Juan Manuel Arancibia, Alexander Beck, Julien Chanca etc, some newer faces such as Andrea Bellisario, Timmi Radicke, Julius Gerhardt, Jay or Noma Han for instance and even the freshest first timers you can imagine : Justus Eisfeld (who doesn’t even have a paris agency yet) or Isaac Ekblad (who came to Paris to visit his family and was only discovered today by an agency scout as he was walking in the street !) … Also snapped were designers Romain Kremer (Mugler) and Alexis Mabille … check this space for more to come very soon !

Models in Paris–The new season is nearly here again and you know Paris Fashion Week is looming because all the boys are back in town for castings before heading to Milan and coming back to Paris for the shows … So here kicks off the second season of an exclusive ‘Casting Call Diaries’ story at the men’s Paris Fashion Week castings for The Fashionisto ! For this first day of model ‘hunting’, the targets included the castings for John Lawrence Sullivan, Balenciaga and Damir Doma … Walking between the different casting places in pretty miserable winter rainy weather didn’t actually prove to be as enjoyable as my first experience in that matter last June, but with luck and patience I finally ended up catching some very relevant preys who regularly grace the international runways and magazines such as Jacob Coupe, Dan Kling, River Viiperi, Sebastian Sauve, Harry Goodwins, Adrian Cardoso, David Agbodji, Joan Pedrola etc, along with new faces Dominic Nutt, Miguel Batista, John Tuite, Andras Kajari or Jake Shortall amongst others … To be continued …
