Model of the Month | Marcel Castenmiller by Lowe Seger
Marcel Castenmiller may easily transition into the role of a gentleman, but that does not mean he has to like the clothes. Shooting a collections story with photographer Lowe Seger and stylist Toby Grimditch, Marcel may not have been a fan of the wardrobe, but he was a pleasure to work with. Seger recalls not remembering how Marcel got booked, but “when [he] saw him on the day of the shoot, [he] really really loved him.” Quite the versatile model, Marcel possesses that certain quality that enables him to go edgy and then easily exude a certain refinement.

Model of the Month | Marcel Castenmiller Interview – Part I
Following our introduction of how Marcel Castenmiller began his career as a model, we dive into our first round of questions with the Canadian model to get the basics out of the way.
What was your first shoot?
Marcel: I think it was for an Asian magazine. I was late and I paid a taxi driver a twenty dollar bill to drive two avenues. I had taken the wrong subway train and ended up too far away from the original address. From there I went with the photographer to Central Park. I’m sure that story is very common in New York.
Your hair seems like it would be a prized possession. Would you cut it?
Marcel: I don’t know. I’ve never liked hair cuts, and so far it’s been working alright with the length. I bet it’ll stay at a certain length, not too long. So yes I guess that would mean I’ll get a cut done.
The inevitable question…how has modeling changed your life?
Marcel: Modeling has given me the chance to live in different cities. I feel that’s one of the most important things for me growing up. Living in a suburb for 19 years can really make you fall behind as a human being, I’m so happy to be in cities like Paris and New York and really feel everyday and live!
Are you aware of model followings…particularly yours?
Marcel: I’m aware. I don’t understand why people try to contact me online. I understand them being a fan, but I really wouldn’t keep in touch with someone I know nothing about or have never met in person.
Model of the Month | Marcel Castenmiller
Standing at 6′ 2″ as one of the industry’s few coveted long-haired models, Marcel Castenmiller is yet another prized Canadian import. Growing up in a town called Port Moody in the Province of British Columbia, it was a two-month road trip with photographer Ryan McGinley that brought the former art student a step closer to signing with New York modeling agency DNA in 2008. Shortly after, Marcel was getting his feet wet with a Theory campaign and from there, the rest is history. From Kenzo’s leading star for two seasons and his regular presence on the runway to a strong portfolio of beautiful editorials, Marcel delivers as a well-rounded model.
