No new pictures, but T Magazine did a Model Diary feature with him. I'm impressed by his gentlemanly answers, he's quite an articulate and humble guy.

Model Diary | Meet Ben Allen, the New Kid on the Block

Only a year after Ben Allen made his big debut in Prada’s spring 2013 men’s show, the 17-year-old London-based model blitzed New York Fashion Week, walking in Kenneth Cole, Richard Chai Love, General Idea and a number of other men’s shows. His boyish good looks have also landed him a Jil Sander campaign alongside the British model Edie Campbell, not to mention a recent spread in T’s men’s issue. “I like being out there working with as many people as possible, and learning, always learning,” said Allen, who sat down with T to discuss his current run of success and where he hopes his career will go next.

Q.
You just did a lot of shows for New York Fashion Week. How’d it go?
A.
The previous two seasons, I’ve just been direct booked for the odd show here and there. This time, however, I think my agency Select and I wanted to push the boat out and complete the show circuit fully, and make use of my American passport. It’s been fun — kept me on my toes, busy with some very early mornings, but that’s how Fashion Week should be. Better than being at home twiddling my thumbs.

How does it compare to the European circuit?
New York Fashion Week is an entirely different ballgame compared to the Europe shows. In Europe, it’s work and no funny business. I may start my day at 6 a.m. and finish at 3 a.m. the following night. It can be wearing, but when you step back and look at the bigger picture and truly appreciate the caliber of designers, it’s all worth it. Not that the standard slips at all in New York, but obviously Fashion Week is dominated by the women so it gives us boys a little time to let our hair down and have some fun.

Male models attract a lot of mega-fans now. How have you dealt with that so far?
Well, I don’t know if I’d call them fans. I just think there are some people out there who devote a small bit of time to show their appreciation, and that’s very touching. There’s no better feeling than being appreciated and loved, right? As far as funny interactions, though, I’ve received my fair share of provocative Twitter mentions, all of which I can only chuckle at.

What’s next for you after modeling?
Obviously a career in modeling is actually anything but a career, so you have to plan for the future. As far as knowing what I want to do, at 17 years old, I’m not quite sure yet. But, hey, fashion is definitely a field of interest for me. Styling and casting appeals to me the most. I used to act when I was a bit younger, so you never know. There are many doors open.
