The General Male Model Discussion Thread

Like Marc, I enjoyed the casting. However it wasn't anything surprising, it was typicall Burberry guys and I do love that because its nice to see some faces you won't see at other shows.

I thought the new guys all looked so much younger than their usual picks, which is why I wasn't crazy about the casting... who knows, maybe I'm just getting old!

Do we have any confirmed exclusives yet? (Probably Max Rendell, etc)

 

[Flashbang]

Yeah I'm pretty much blah at the Burberry. Great and quite all star but nothing to write home about..

Anyway here's one of the possible Versace exclusive.. http://instagram.com/billyweav#
Google don't bring me anything from his name though..

Is anyone still sad about Dolce and Gabbana's refusal to use real male models in campaigns and on the runway? The use to have really great casts and fun backstage videos.

 

[Morphe]

^ Nope, IMO it's great that they're using "real" guys.

The Bottega Veneta casting was super fabulous.

 

[Seaj]

Well after watching the show I sorta changed my mind. The have certainly refined their selection of runway models. It seems like they even gave their models runway lessons haha because the show was not as hard to watch as previous shows.

I'm glad Lasse was at Bottega Veneta again.

Bottega Veneta was great, I'm always happy to see Matvey Lykov pop up in a show.

The Trussardi cast lifted up immensely after Umit left. Bottega wasn't diverse as they used to be.

 

[ParisFashionMuse]

I noticed that at Trussardi too. Lot of top boys there.

Btw what happened at Prada? Not a lot of old faces there as in the previous seasons. I only spotted Clement, Benjamin Eidem, Ben Allen and Abiah. Any more? Matthijs Meel, last season's opener and closer, was also missing which made me quite sad.

 

[Legolas]

Matthijs needs to let his hair grow again to bring his magic back. Other old faces besides the ones you mentioned were Tino Thielens, Luca Stascheit, Frederik Meijnen, and I'm not sure if I'm missing another, but they were quite a few, as usual these days.

 

[Pricciao]

seeing Moncler Gamme Bleu cast makes me sad, it's the saving grace of "old-school" models.

 

[LagerfeldBoy]

Prada's cast was utterly disappointing, imo.

 

[ad31214]

I loved Prada's casting a lot..and I don't even pay attention to menswear that much but it was actually perfect.

 

[Flashbang]

Prada have many fillers as usual with Ashley. Bring back Marsh, I'd say.

 

[Morphe]

The Prada casting was for the most part, forgettable.

 

[Seaj]

Compared to the last season, I did not enjoy the cast as much at Prada. There were so many standouts last season like Louis Steyaert, Matthijs, Fielding Lewis, Elliot Vulliod, Dylan River and all those older guys. I was hoping that they would continue with their use of older guys. At least we got Simon Paul this season.

 

[Flashbang]

Yeah the lineup was pretty weak. The opener and the 2nd boy didn't excite me quite a bit.

One notice though, a Chinese model walked on the show. Can't remember the last time one made it up on the runway. They previously had Korean and Japanese model but not Chinese.

 

[Pricciao]

^but let's be honest, they maybe didn't even notice.
I miss the advanced casts, that was the best move Prada had recently.
