I love the Alphabet. I have my full name in those letters taped to my door. My absolute favourite is 'S'. Thanks for posting them.

 

[telepathicgoat]

I love the males' version as well.

By the way, there are catalogues with their work available (fashion & art) from their exhibitions in Holland. Two different ones with almost the same (beautiful) artwork by M/M. Dirtcheap and very, very nice to have!!!!

It was from their show at the "Groninger Museum". Maybe try google-ing it.

The ALPHAMEN

I love the males' version as well.

I love it too. I actually prefer it, and would like to see the males' without the editing. Maybe phone calls can be made. See below.

M/M has little zines they put out in Paris, I have had one given to me before to review, and I'm sure you can find them.

[alix*]

Thank you so much!
They are all fantastic

 

[Kanna]

Oh, you're welcome, LetThemEatCake Thanks again for those pics!
Are those all in one issue of V Man? Wonderful! Very artistic.

 

[mikel]

Yep, there all in one issue, with the actual portraits as well and a q&a section for each model.

 

[mikel]

This was all I could find, from vman.com

this is as they appeared in the mag with the addition of a smaal interview on the right side of each pic.

 

[Kanna]

^ Oh, thanks! Each single picture with an interview on the right page? The Alphabet series were printed much smaller than I expected.
Well they look so great! I wish I could get the mag anyhow.

 

[Kanna]

BTW, are there female models too?

 

[mikel]

^Yes that Alpahbet appeared in V, around 2001 I think.

 

[Kanna]

^ Oh my, then do they come from diffrent mags acually? :/

(Sorry for keeping this thread off-topic...)

 

[mikel]

Don't be sorry, it's not off topic in my opinion. I think the portarits for the womens alphabet are very hard to find. My avatar is the portait of Eleonara Bose, the 'E'.

 

[Kanna]

^ The issue of V is such a rare item, isn't it? Now I have a strong passion for it!

 

[mikel]

I desperately want it too.
