Behind the Scenes Next Wave Edition | Marcel Castenmiller for GQ Taiwan by Chiun-​​Kai Shih

Stum­bling into Mod­el­ing–Kick­ing off a mod­el­ing career after work with Ryan McGin­ley, DNA model Mar­cel Cas­ten­miller has a ver­sa­tile yet spe­cial qual­ity that has seen the model trans­formed through­out the sea­sons from grunge and more sophis­ti­cated aes­thet­ics to a cur­rent star in Tommy Hilfiger’s fam­ily lineup for the designer’s con­tin­u­ing inter­na­tional cam­paign. With the abil­ity to snap up jobs every­where from New York and Tokyo to Paris, it was a no-​​brainer for Mar­cel to be pho­tographed by Chiun-​​Kai Shih for GQ Taiwan’s upcom­ing issue. /​ Photo by Adam Marelli using Leica M9.

Marcel Castenmiller by Giovanni Cervantes for Los Vladimirovich Spring 2012

A Fusion of a Man–Los Vladimirovich enlists Mar­cel Cas­ten­miller for their spring 2012 look­book of sophis­ti­cated angst, lensed by Gio­vanni Cer­vantes. Play­ing with sil­hou­ettes, a semi-​​relaxed struc­ture lends itself to the dis­sec­tion of tra­di­tional menswear, result­ing in a new selec­tion of detail-​​driven gar­ments for the mod­ern cus­tomer. Solemn in color, but spir­ited in exe­cu­tion, the chic lineup comes together with cre­ative color block­ing, sub­tle shifts in pro­por­tion and an easy atti­tude. From attached pan­el­ing and ready to wear jack­ets to delight­ful coor­di­nat­ing pieces, Los Vladimirovich deliv­ers a smart take on con­tem­po­rary menswear.
