Mild Manner–Turning to stark black and white photography, Alessio Boni captures Ford New York up and comer, Joe Hartmann.
Boys on Film–If we went back to school, we’d likely be that annoying overachiever and we wouldn’t have it any other way. With a special thanks above all to our photographer for the day, Nikolai de Vera and the agencies who provided the talent, ADAM, Aim, DNA, Ford, Fusion, Major, New York Models, Next, Q, Red, Request, Soul and Wilhelmina, here’s a grand sampling of our favorite boys of the season: Paul Boche, Chris Garcia, RJ King, Erik Sage, Chris Colton, Leebo Freeman, Miles McMillan, Adnan Djinovic, Maxwell Ronko, Luka Badnjar, Lowell Tautchin, Chris Arundel, Elvis Jankus, Francisco Lachowski, Baptiste Radufe, Jordan Torres, Joao Zavaski, Julian Sapala, Eden Classens, Chris Petersen, Lance R, Roy Pratt, John Tuite, Benoni Loos, Zach King, Louis Mayhew, Jae Yoo, Reinaldo Berthoti, Matthew Hitt, Brett Staal, Colt Maldonado, Glenn Galleghan, Jacob Morton, Kaylan Falgoust, Alexander Beck, Mario Skaric, Jackson, Connor Stanley, Bastien Bonizec, Jake Gordon, Jed Texas, Eryck Laframboise, Sen Mitsuji, Dale Toogood, Lucas Goossens, Rob Evans, Matt Giesler, Samuel Farrier, Louis Galloway, Adrian Cardoso, Sebastian Sauve, Berthold Rothas, Vincent Banic, Brennen Steines, Joe Hartmann, Cesar Chiang, Luis Borges, Arthur Devalbray, Brian Redford, Petter Hedman, Austin Hall, Rich Stinger, John R, Hampus Luck, Seven, Thiago Santos, Jordan and Zac Stenmark.



Newbs & Blonds–Sixty-six models later, we made it to the final hour. First was Paul Boche. Two castings in toll and somehow he is on a plane headed somewhere every time a shoot is around the corner, so any time is appreciated with one of our favorite blond models. Then there’s Leebo Freeman, after a year of circuit editorials, Hollywood called and somehow the budding star still made it back to New York for fashion week. Before the dynamite personality slips through town again, we must make a note to get a shoot done or two. Finally, we don’t know what it is about Ford boys, but they are so cool and refreshed. New kids on the block Brennen Steines and Joe Hartmann made the journey over. Both delightful if course and Joe made us chuckle with a review of a lovely outing shopping around the neighborhood. Representative of a roster of fresh Ford talent, we cannot wait to get in the studio, the two definitely left a lasting impression. / Photos by Nikolai de Vera.
