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 !
