Model of the Month | Philipp Bierbaum

From a strik­ing cam­paign or two to an unde­ni­able pres­ence on the cat­walk or that spe­cial appear­ance in an edi­to­r­ial, Aus­trian model Philipp “Pippo” Bier­baum pos­sesses a strong body of work. After a chance sug­ges­tion by friends to give mod­el­ing a try, Philipp found him­self kick­ing off his career with Paris Fash­ion Week dur­ing the sum­mer of 2007. Prov­ing to be the ver­sa­tile model, whether a blond or brunette, Philipp has rolled with the punches and come out on top, with cam­paigns for both Gian­franco Ferrè and D&G under his belt as well as work with Matthew Brookes and Mert & Mar­cus. Stick with us this month as we learn more about one of New York Mod­els’ finest.

Model of the Month | Mark Cox – Calvin’s Boy

DNA model Mark Cox may be cur­rently enjoy­ing his time as a Prada boy, but this past sea­son, his work for Calvin Klein cemented his sta­tus as a new lead­ing model. Tapped for both the CK apparel and acces­sories cam­paign, Mark went clean and gritty for the label. Find­ing out about his Klein book­ings was most def­i­nitely a career high­light. He had been “on option a few times before…so you can imag­ine how happy [he] was when [he] got it after miss­ing out a few times.” Asked about his feel­ings when the cam­paign actu­ally came out, Mark revealed that “it’s still strange to see [him­self].” He’ll prob­a­bly never get over the sur­real aspect – espe­cially when get­ting “mes­sages from back home that friends see [him] in shop­ping malls and bus stops.” But on to more impor­tant mat­ters, how did his acces­sories shoot go with Fabien Baron? As Mark explained, “They spray painted me and oiled me up. And the water is the fin­ish­ing touch, you have no idea how much water and sand I had in my ears after the shoot, and the best part was that I got home all cov­ered in sand and lotion and my shower stopped work­ing for a cou­ple of hours!!!!!” Guess there’s one thing that can get in between Mark and his Calvins – sand.

Model of the Month | Mark Cox by Twin-​​Shotone

Much to the sur­prise of most, Mark Cox received an over the top makeover for Feld Hommes’ recent issue. Pho­tographed by Twin-​​Shotone, the edi­to­r­ial hap­pened to be one of those rare gems that rebel against the norm of beauty, instead look­ing to the imag­i­na­tion to cre­ate dar­ing images. For Twin-​​Shotone, Mark was the ideal model. Whereas most “boys are always so STIFF”, Mark proved to be impres­sive because “he likes to play”, he’s “just a very nice guy.” His friendly atti­tude pro­vided the story just the right emo­tion and fur­ther­more “with [his] makeup, he had a lot of passion.”

Model of the Month | Mark Cox on Playing in Intersections

Mark Cox on his Flaunt shoot with Sam Bas­sett: “It was really cold that day and peo­ple were scream­ing at us for being in the mid­dle of the street. Patrick and I are still alive, so it’s all fine.”

Model of the Month | Mark Cox

Appear­ing in cam­paigns for Calvin Klein, Z Zegna and most recently Prada, DNA’s Mark Cox is no doubt a famil­iar face on and off the run­way.

Fol­low­ing another suc­cess­ful sea­son on the cat­walk, this month we will catch up with the model to find out more about every­thing from his start as a model to those sticky sit­u­a­tions that hap­pen to come as a haz­ard of our favorite cre­ative shoots.
