The General Male Model Discussion Thread

[LabelWhore4]

All of the models at Vuitton had extremely similar features. I'm thinking that it had to be deliberate... I hope.

 

[Maximilian S]

Let's hope it won't stay like this next season.

I'm beginning to think it will stay like this the next season. I always felt male models were more conventionally good looking than female models, just contrast the top 5 male and female models on models.com but I think the male model industry has finally caught up with that 'unconventional high fashion' look that is prevalent in its female counterparts this season and will remain so from now on if that makes any sense.

^ I miss this ​

Ditto Max. I am especially worried about campaigns this season. All the campaigns are going to the newbie's and second season returns. Of the Top 10 (on MDC), only Sean, Simon, and Clement have star-quality bookings; and Simon only has Michael Kors. King Clement is set for the season with a nice, credible 4-pack. (Gucci, Valentino, Lacoste, Filippa K, and all OG)

 

[Maximilian S]

^ Clement has that unconventional high fashion look at least to me when compared to Sean and Simon and I think that's why he's the star of the runway/campaigns this season. Also, if D&G don't hire models to walk for their show then what will happen to guys like David, Adam and Noah who only walk that show?

 

[Flashbang]

I'm honestly can only identify one person from the Saint Laurent show. Sigh Hedi..

 

[FakeFlower]

I think that cast was really awkward.

 

[Gábor]

I can only recognize Julia..

 

[Flashbang]

^ Aww!

Hopefully there's a confirmation that this is a street casting so I can immediately wrap up the season

 

[navyvelvetbowtie]

I recognised a couple, Gryphon O'Shea, Valter Torsleff, Marc Sebastian Faiella, so at most it's a mixed casting :/

 

[heelscatchfire]

^ If Flashbang can't identify anyone, then its so hopeless

I need to catch up, I've missed the last two days of shows.

I guess now is as good as time as any to play the Male version of the casting game:

Top 5 New Faces
Top 5 Veterans

Worst Cast Overall

Interested in hearing everyone's thoughts, this season will definitely prove a little tricky.

 

[HeatherAnne]

I'll bite first.

Top 5 newbies, in no order:
Samuel Roberts - true runway debut season, and is the newcomer I find most memorable.
Rutger Schoone - if you not seen his look at Ferragamo I suggest you do so now. What a guy! Great appearances all over.
Luka Fixy - another true newbie who impressed me, was seriously thrilled to see him at Balenciaga, he deserved a big show.
Michael Lange - I’m thinking a lot of people might find his appeal a bit dull, but there is just something so sophisticated to me.
Jakob Bertelsen - not brand new, but relatively so, I’ve been waiting for him to wow me, knew the potential was there, and this season he did.

My cheat (extra) pick, Arthur Gosse - he’s in-between newbie and old pro at this point. Right? Right

Top 5 Veterans, in no order:
Victor Nylander - an overwhelming amount of blond/blue eyed boys on the runway, but to me he's the most impressive of the bunch.Sacha M’baye - finally back and looking amazing as always.
Max Rendell - find him so charming, adore him more each season.
Dae Na - always one of the most impressive/versatile guys to me.
Baptiste Radufe - one of the most dominant faces in the industry right now.

Best cast: Err, none of them.
Worst cast: Err, most of them.

Coolest moment: Mathias Laurisden at Prada.
