The finalists of the VMAN Model Search are Rico Nieves, Matt Schmitt, Louis Harris-Tench and Matt Nicol. Apart from Louis who lives in London, they've all flown in last night from US and Canada. For most of them this is their first shoot ever! Styled by Simon Foxton, the models will be wearing top labels like Giorgio Armani, Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen. Watch everything happening live on the LIVE STUDIO or you're all welcome to come down and see it in person.

Evacuation!

After a brief incident where everyone had to evacuate outside the building, the LIVE SHOOT has now resumed. So far the models have shot in their first outfits (out of two) and everyone's enjoying the experience very much, even if they have to get their hair cut very short or wait long hours for their turns.
