Model to Watch | Corey Baptiste by Sean Kilkenny

Before we turn our focus to the shows, we hone in on one more model to watch–Corey Bap­tiste. Signed to VNY, in Europe for the shows and hop­ing to make a splash, Corey has quite the upcom­ing cam­paign sea­son to jet­ti­son him through a cast­ing or two. A local to the Bronx and scouted by his soon to be man­ager Bran­don Wil­son, while apply­ing for a job at Aber­crom­bie & Fitch, Corey signed with VNY this past Jan­u­ary and soon after hit the ground run­ning. Con­nect­ing with local pho­tog­ra­pher Sean Kilkenny to improve his craft, while also shoot­ing for pub­li­ca­tions such as John Tan’s Visual Tales, Corey worked him­self up to the cov­eted cam­paign. Star­ring along­side Sean O’Pry in one and round­ing out a play­ful ensem­ble for another, you’ll just have to wait to see the final prod­ucts in the near future. Until then, watch for Corey on the cat­walk and stay tuned for our inter­view with the up and comer.
