2009 was a busy year for him, he is in the following editorials: Elle Italia, Dame e Cavalieri, by Ruven Afanador; U Magazine, Remembrance of Things Past, by Joe Lally; Vogue Hommes Japan, Do it yourself, by Jeremy Kost. He is also on the cover of U Magazine, July 2009, by Joe Lally. In the editorial I chose, he is shot by talented Tony Duran in Paris.
“I owned an home security company in Los Angeles and sold an alarm to a guy in the modelling industry. It was quite funny when he asked if I had a manager and I responded that I was a manager (thinking about alarm sales, being the owner/manager). I never wanted to model and when a relationship of mine fell through, I moved to NY to clear my head… the prior connections with the guy in LA… and here I am.
I thought that I would see NYC one day on a vacation and now I live here. I’ve lived in Paris for a year, travelled to South Africa, Cuba, Thailand, it has been amazing to open my eyes to the real world and get out of the bubble I was raised in. I have met many unique people that have shaped my view on the world positively.”

“I am Dwain Leland, a model being captured on camera and film for physique, character, and fashion projects. Modeling has always been a sort of creative release for me that serves to fulfill passions that have been left untouched by my education (Texas A&M University and Cardozo Law NYC), full-time career as a legal contract administrator at Stanford, or my freelance work as a graphic designer here in Silicon Valley. Recent successes and interest from the industry, however, have turned my eyes toward something greater than modeling being only a part-time candy store for me. Now, I am expanding my portfolio in leaps and bounds as never before, and struggling to find time to relax amidst photographic assignments and traveling. It's becoming clear that the inertia building up inside this dream is making it possible for me to have a career here. Do you want to join me in the dream? Let me know what sort of quality projects you have in mind, and let's get down to work.”

“I started in this industry shooting artistic and fitness, decided to give up heavy lifting and thin out a little bit and found out it doesn't go away over nite. LOL. I do it all and I'm putting most of my effort into modeling and acting right now with new shoots, cold reading acting classes, commercial classes and private coaching. I'm new to Hollywood. I left the Air Force two years ago and graduated college this year with an English Major. I'm also currently working on three screenplays, fun! I love Hollywood! I'm looking to meet new, exciting, creative people. I'm willing to travel just about anywhere. Let me know if you're interested in shooting, or at least say hi!”

Trevor Wayne (born February 17, 1978) has been photographed by Justin Monroe for DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE and by Eric Schnabel for NIGHT VISIONS. And he is the tattoo artist in Pink's video clip SO WHAT! He worked also with legendary horror artist Clive Barker.
“Every tattoo I have ever gotten just hit me. I'd just have the idea and it would click, like it was meant to be. Any tattoo I had to think about longer than a week I never got. When I'm sure about something, I'm sure! Still to this day 12 years after my first tattoo, I don't regret it. I really don't believe I ever will. As an actor/model they have helped in some ways and hurt in others. Me personally I don't think about them. Every shoot I do I don't even see the tattoos. I don't want to glide by on using them. I want to make photos and videos where the tattoos are secondary to the project, not the main focus. I think using tattoos as the main focus is easy and not challenging, and expected. I feel I've done a great job when I look at a photo and think it would be just as good as if I wasn't tattooed.”
Trevor Wayne by Marc Cartwright Photo
( Trevor Wayne )
“I LOVE COMEDY!! I love playing a spaz or goof ball. I'm not afraid to look stupid for the sake of a laugh. If anything I love it more because it goes against what you'd expect from my look. My first real chance was on a sitcom, another pilot, where actress Brenda Blethyn (The Witches, Atonement) was crying to me about her divorce. You see the back of me and assume I'm some badass tattooed guy who probably doesn't care. Then they cut to the front and I'm crying even harder than her! Then it's she who has to calm me down. We did that in front of a live studio audience and I still get a high when I think about it! The energy and laughter was incredible. I want to play the fun guy, or slapstick comedy guy. There's so much negativity out there as it is. I'd rather put a smile on someone's face - even at my own expense- than to have someone afraid I'm going to mug them!”

Born in Burlington, Toronto, Canada, in 1990, Alex Loomans now lives in New York City. Alex started his career in 2006 when he signed up with Public Image Worldwide, one of the formidable men’s agencies in the industry. In April of 2007, Alex hit it big when he was chosen to be the new official face of Polo Ralph Lauren, an epitome of sophistication, class and taste –something that his face, body and allure exudes naturally not only through his ads and photos but in person as well. The model stayed with the label for another season, posing for the great American photographer and occasional filmmaker Bruce Webber. In another career move, he switched agency and signed with DNA New York. From there, he Alex Loomans made some major appearances in the runways and fashion editorials.
Alex Loomans by Tom Allen
( Alex Loomans )
In the fall 2008 issue of Sir magazine, Alex Loomans was captured in several delicious poses by the lens of Geoff Barrenger, one of the most influential Canadian photographers today. Loomans became known for his well-sculptured bod, mesmerizing blue eyes and a chameleon-like projection. Alex Loomans once again proved his photographic charisma in the October issue of Hercules mag for its Leisure Class editorial, where he was splendid-looking in lounge wear and boxers – a perfect figure amidst towering mountain ranges. For Russian GQ, he was photographed by fellow Canadian Walter Chin in a colorful editorial featuring a very poised and subdued Loomans. Going naughty again this time, he appeared in V Man in its spring/summer 2009 issue in very risqué poses proudly exhibiting toned muscles and a lithe physique. This editorial was captured by Belgian photographer Willy Vanderperre in fantastic black and white properly exposing the models almost to the skin. In GQ Style Germany spring/summer 2009 issue, he posed in harmless beige shorts and top with other “Boys of Summer” in its playful and tasty cover. He spent time walking the runways for iconic designers and labels like DSquared2, Galliano, Cavalli and Alexander McQueen and is also active in Fashion Weeks in Europe and New York. Currently, Alex Loomans is still modeling for Ralph Lauren and is the poster boy for Barbour, the classic British outdoor clothing company.

Gabriel Aubry is one of those rare model icons that looms as a bonafide celebrity even as his legacy of fashion bookings marks him as one of the last of that era of male models worthy of the prefix "super". As a long running fixture of the Calvin Klein brand, Mr. Aubry still clocks in for duty to this very day. But model watchers will always remember that incredible run that spanned clients such as Hugo Boss, DKNY, Versace and Tommy Hilfiger.

"In 10 years I see myself hard at work with a home outside NYC. I see myself focused on fitness, nutrition, playing/coaching baseball. I got scouted by Major Model' scout back in Summer 2008, in New Jersey where I'm from, outside a concert of John Mayer" - Brian Shimansky
Cory Bond, Major Model, is married to model Bekah Jenkins. Cory Bond and Bekah Jenkins, a true Tennessee couple, recently purchased a hunk of land down there, with a few horses and a couple of pooches to decorate the place. The biggest attraction, however, is Cory’s gun, which he picked up in just 20 minutes at the local Bass Pro Shop. He manages to actually hit the Coors Light cans decorating his makeshift range. “This is what living in the country is all about,” Cory said, adding that the ribs around the corner aren’t bad either. Cory has worked with photographs like Arnaldo Anaya-lucca, Vincent Dilio, Matt Albiani, and Gregory Vaughan.

Kyle Ledeboer (born 1985 in Monrovia, Indiana): “I'm originally from Monrovia, IN a town that is so small that to this day still doesn't have a stoplight. Imagine a few slightly rolling hills with cornfields and small pockets of woods in between. As far as my heritage goes I'm definitely a mutt. Dutch Indonesian, German, Irish, Portuguese, And my step father is black. I would describe myself as always positive, optimistic, understanding, and loud, wild, and fun all at the same time. I say whatever is on my mind with little regard for whats actually coming out of my mouth lol. I never get embarrassed about anything. The first job I did was for a hospital add when I was like 13 or 14. I had no idea at that time what modeling even was. Then when I moved to Arizona for college I kinda fell back into it. My first test was a disaster. I was a deer in the headlights. I had the same expression in almost every picture lol. The best thing to me so far has been all the amazing people I've met throughout my journey. Models, stylists, photographers, people from all walks of life. I've made some great friends."

Andrew Stetson (born August 24, 1979 in Oakville, Ontario) is a Canadian supermodel. Stetson began his career as a carpenter, becoming a male fashion model at the age of 19. Stetson was discovered by Norwayne Anderson of the NAM agency. "I spotted him at a bar and circled him for half an hour so I could see him from every angle," his agent says. "It was his lips and eyes that got me."
( Andrew Stetson )
After a year of modeling in New York and Europe, he returned to renovating homes. Stetson started a home renovation business, Stetson Designs Inc. He says, "I worked right away, doing editorial and catalogues in New York, Paris and Milan. But I really missed carpentry. I missed building things."
Five years later, his friends and family encouraged him to return to modeling. He has since walked for top fashion shows, and has appeared in numerous ad campaigns for Armani, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Zara, Calvin Klein, Levi’s, Bloomingdales, and H&M. Despite his successful modeling career, Stetson says he wants to return to carpentry. "I'm making the most of modelling. But to be honest, I would rather go back to carpentry. I love carpentry. It's not work to me. And it keeps me grounded and balanced. There are not a lot of models who have something else to fall back on." On August 2006, Stetson signed a three-year contract becoming the face of Calvin Klein's new cologne, Euphoria.
Andrew is currently engaged to his elementary school sweetheart.
Garrett Neff (born in Delaware 1986) is an American model. He was discovered at an airport in 2005 while vacationing in Barbados and signed with Click Model Management after a year. He is best known to be the face of Man cologne by Calvin Klein. Garrett Neff worked brands such as: Siviglia S/S 09, Loewe S/S 09, Calvin Klein MAN Fragrance 09, Calvin Klein Underwear F/W 08, Calvin Klein MAN Fragrance F/W 08, Abercrombie & Fitch, Benetton, and Lagerfeld. He has also appeared in: V Man (Hail to the Brief; Extreme Class: The Sharp Dressed Man by Mario Testino; Spring Scenes), L’Uomo Vogue (My Playground, The Unauthorized Miami Diary, by Bruce Weber), L’Officiel Hommes (True Colors by Milan Vukmirovic), and GQ. Currently, he holds the number 2 spot along with Sean O'Pry in the top 50 male models.
( Garrett Neff )
He is a real gym rat. For him working out is the best way to blow off the steam and stress from a long day. But also running and hiking are on his list of favourite pass times. To balance all this healthy exercise, Garett also likes a good barbecue every now and then. Garrett Wayne Neff was born and raised in a little town about one hour drive from Mt Rushmore in South Dakota. He grew up outdoors and spent his time building impressive forts and playing soccer. His dream was to play college ball but he had to give that up in order to attend the University of Hawaii instead.
A dream of a very different kind that involves both Garrett and Hawaii is one of his most unforgettable moments. "Swimming 200-300 yards offshore in Kona, HI to chase down a school of dolphins. It was just a friend and I wearing nothing but fins and a mask." Besides modelling Garrett is also enrolled at Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose. Garrett Neff graduated from Bucknell University where he was a member of the Division 1 tennis team.
Garrett Neff is also the new body of Calvin Klein’s latest underwear ad campaign by Fabien Baron. His photos will be part of the men’s global print and media campaign launching in 17 countries. Apparently some photos didn’t make the cut since they are too steamy for even the Calvin Klein people. In his last shot, Garrett Neff shows us what it takes to be pretty in the new Spring/Summer 2009 issue of Man About Town by photographer Tom Allen.
Simon Tham is a Thailand male model and one of the last for Calvin Klein’s underwear campaign by Adam Raphael & Gregory Vaughan and for Abercrombie & Fitch with photographer Greg Swales. He is also in the Ralph Lauren’s Autumn ’08 campaign with his friend Kerry Degman.

jaye_valentine was particularly happy to see my post on the Guedes Twins, I thought to bring out of the stable two pair of twins that were waiting the right occasion to be posted. The first pair, the Caesar Twins, are still in activity, they are performers and works mostly in Europe. The second pair, the Nemesis Twins, came out in 2005-2006 in an American television show; I didn't follow their career, and apparently now they are no more in activity. The Caesar Twins are a theatrical-gymnastics team made up of Pierre Caesar and Pablo Caesar. Their abilities and show have been compared with the high level of Cirque Du Soleil performances. Pierre and Pablo are real twins born in 1980 in Poland. The brothers studied gymnastics in their youth, and at age 17 became Youth World Champions in acrobatic sports. At 18, they started performing in a modern German circus.
( Caesar Twins )
In 2002, while performing an act called "Wheel of Death", Pablo fell 16 meters to the floor. As reported by newspapers at the time, some people in the audience at first thought the fall was part of the act. In reality, Pablo was severely injured and required extensive surgery and months of rehabilitation. He persevered with his brother as training partner, and together they brought Pablo back into gymnastic fitness, rebuilding his muscles and coordination.
In 2004, the Twins starred in the cabaret La Clique, at which they officially premiered their renewed twin act. They went on to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe that year, where they returned in 2005, selling out their entire run, and again in 2006, featuring a dual twin show with the Lombard Twins.
The duo's self-titled show runs to about 90 minutes, offering an entertaining combination of aerial and ground gymnastics, tricking the audience, especially as to which twin is which, and telling their own life stories, including Pablo’s 2002 fall and rebirth through recovery. The show ends with a unique routine, in which the two brothers do a gymnastics routine in and around a large, clear acrylic glass bowl onstage, symbolically representing their ongoing journey together, which began in utero in the "salt bath" of their mother’s womb.
The brothers are 1.63 m (5 feet 4 inches) tall, with blond hair. They have twin tattoos, of a puma, encircling one biceps, with Pablo’s on his right arm and Pierre’s on his left to form mirror images in their act. The Twins openly play with sexuality and sex appeal in their show. Although both are straight, they happily acknowledge a large gay following, have performed at a variety of AIDS benefits, and profess a desire for tolerance of gays and other minorities.
The Caesar Twins have played throughout Europe and in Australia. Their appearances in Great Britain have included the Royal Variety Show, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, London’s Comedy Theatre, and Brighton Festival Fringe. Until spring 2009, they will perform during a Jamie Oliver theatre/meal show in Frankfurt, Germany.

Nemesis is an openly gay pop music duo consisting of the identical twin brothers Jacob and Joshua Miller. The pair can be differentiated by their hair colors; Jacob is blond, while Joshua's hair is brown. Joshua is also a few minutes older than Jacob. They were raised as Jehovah's Witnesses in Kalispell, Montana but have since left the religion. They were excommunicated after coming out. The journey of the duo can be seen on the Logo television network reality series entitled Jacob and Joshua: Nemesis Rising. The show premiered on October 16, 2006.
( Nemesis Twins )
Nemesis has been signed with Curb Records since 2001. The duo released the EP Let Me Help You Out in 2005. Number One in Heaven, the first single from the album Rise Up, was released in September 2006 and was quickly followed by Rise Up in October to coincide with the premiere of the reality show. The music video for Number One in Heaven could be seen on the Click List Music program of Logo. It also aired on MTV Hits, which, like Logo, is owned by MTV Networks.

Marcello de Giuli: “I’m 22 years old, dark-haired, tanned and tonned, hot, well hung. Penetrating green eyes and extremely precise at what I do. I’m also very athletic. I fancy radical sports – very enticed by the rush of adrenalin I feel when I’m skateboarding, surfing, jet skying, snowboarding… Among my passions, travelling is highly rated. I’ve lived in several countries, and reckon this added a great deal to my cultural repertoire. English, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese are languages I’ve got a good command of. I can carry out a pleasant conversation, about various topics, I enjoy eating out and international cousine. I love Italian food (that goes without saying), Japanese… and I’m crazy about chocolate. I adore the night life and its fast pace… clubs, electronic music, the pursuit of fun. On the other hand, there is a more tender side to me as well, which enjoys a beautiful day by the beach, or staying in under a cozy blanket on brisk winter days, preferably watching a good movie with quality wine.”

Enrico de Giuli: I’m 19 years old and come from the North of Italy, where I’ve just finished secondary school. I’ve got blond hair and aquamarine-green eyes (due to my German origins) and perfectly smooth brown soft skin. I’m really laid-back, I enjoy staying in and hanging out in my flat. I’m a very friendly lad with no attitude, who enjoys having a good conversation, dining in good restaurants… and having a fun time! I’m extremely charismatic. I’m all about exercising as well, some of my favourite past-times are jogging and swimming. I’m fit and well hung. Contemporary art and modern city landscapes are things I’m quite keen on. I love spending an afternoon in a great museum and just noticing how far some of these artists’ imagination can go. I’m worldwise and have travelled to many different countries. I can speak Italian, English, Portuguese and French.”

The Couple: Marcello de Giuli is 22 years old, was born in Brazil, and descends from Italians. Throughout his youth he worked in the family business of furniture design and rapidly stood out as a magnificent interior designer as well as a top-of-the-line staff manager. Three years ago he decided to depart from his former life in Brasil and embark upon a journey around the world. Due to his dual citizenship, he selected Italy as his initial destination. Marcello was astounded by the beauty of Rome. Everything was new, everything was fresh. The hustle and bustle of the city, the delightful sights… But little did he know, for on that very evening he would meet his perfect match. He ventured into his first night out, and as he walked into a night club he immediately set his disarming green eyes onto Enrico de Giuli (at the time only sixteen but already an outstanding student at college), who reciprocated his magnetic look and was immediately drawn to him. By the end of the night they had already made plans for a future together… They later on defined this night as pure magic…
This would have been a perfect contemporary love story… but there was catch to it! The Italian laws strictly forbid someone who’s underage to engage in any sexual activity with someone who’s over eighteen… However, Love always finds a way… Inspired by this love they fled to Zurich, Switzerland, with a burning ambition to achieve several goals. As a path towards achieving such goals they started working as escorts, a job they’ve loved from the very start. Following Marcello’s desire to become a “citizen of the world”, after a few months they moved to Paris. As they’ve always been very professional and concerned with excellence in everything they do, it was a matter of days before they acquired a lot of recognition in the Parisian scene. Not only for their youth and beauty but also for a complete deluxe service which aimed towards catering thoroughly for each clients needs and providing them with a luxurious space in a posh vicinity where his clientele could feel comfortable and at ease. It was in Paris that they had their first “special clients” with whom they’ve taken incredible trips in which they got to know a great variety of places in the world and developed long-lasting friendship.
In May 2007, they were ready for the next step: London. Amongst the fierce competition they soon became prestigious for their professional marketing and heavenly, five star hotel calibre service. They were again, in love… but this time, not only with each other, but also with the city of London. It didn’t take long for them to regard London as their favourite city and therefore establish themselves in the UK.
In January 2008, they celebrated this union and married, and from then on engaged in different areas. In March 2008, they were awarded as “Best Escort Agency” in the Escort Awards 2008, and Marcello was finalist as “Best Escort”, an award that was granted to one of the escort who works for them.

Now he is living in São Paulo to work as a model. He started his career as a model when he finished high school, in 2008. He decided to become a model because it's a unique opportunity to travel around the world, to know many nice places and learn a lot about different cultures. It's a great life experience a dream coming true for him, but it's not easy.

Returning to civilization at age 7 for the purpose of socialization, I was educated by the white man acquiring a Bachelors Degree from California State University, Northridge with a degree in communication. Acting and Modeling soon followed when I was discovered by legendary Male Super Model agent Omar Alberto. It was Omar who visioned the native man in this business of entertainment. Having successfully shot with great photographers like Carlos Reynosa, Cliff Watts and Matthew Rolston allowed access to the American & European commercial & modeling market. I then had some moderate success booking commercial & print accounts like Toyota, Wilson Leather and Anson’s. Small spots in Television, Film and Voice soon followed Fast forward to today. Current Print and Commercial accounts include Wells Fargo Bank, Koff Beer and Bell Meat.

Next May 1, the Man Candy on my LiveJournal turns one years old, talk of cradling the cuddle... Matthew Ludwinski was my first!May 1 will be a Friday but national holiday in Italy and I will be free at home for all the day (and this is the reason why one year ago I posted the first man candy...), and so I thought to celebrate with you.
Many of my friends, especially authors, said that they recognize their characters in my Men Candy, but also readers are invited to play: send me your coupling between a Man Candy and a character on a book, and I will do a little post about it. It's not necessary for you to choose among my Men Candy, but please try to choose a model/actor of whom you know the name, so I can do a personalized post.
Astrid Amara told me that she chose Mathias Lauridsen as face for Brian Day in Hell Cop. Then months ago Clare London told me about someone else, Kent Edwards I believe, but don't remember her character. Rhyss DeCassilene used my Men Candy for the characters of a book of Jay Lygon...
Anyway, friends, look and write to me, and together we will plan a beautiful birthday party for the Men Candy.
Hope you like the idea, I'm waiting for your suggestions. To help you, all my Men Candy are collected here:

I didn't post him before since I had the impression, that Alberto is not a professional model, I really don't know nothing about his private life, but I think he modelled for Jeff Brewster more than to do a favor to a friend than for a real interest in a modelling career. So probably I wouldn't have never posted him if not for the fact that artists seem to find Alberto (and Jeff Brewster's pictures) a source of inspiration; I have already found two different painters that rendered one of those pictures in a paint, and it's not like I have a huge knowledge of the art world, so I bet there are more out there.

Alberto Apocada is a middle twenty old Texan of Latin-American origin, who didn’t think himself to be model-material. Luckily Jeff Brewster though otherwise. Over the past 3 years, Alberto has not only become one of Jeff’s most anticipated models, the two of them are also best of friends.

Bryan Slater by RT Photography
When I first posted Bryan, he was quite a mystery; like many of the models for erotic art pictures, he was more a body than a name, and so I was glad when he wrote to me to thank all the people who left a comment on his post. And since we were nice with him (see, being nice always leads to other nice things...), Bryan promised me that as soon as he had new photos, he would allow me to publish some in exclusive. And he is a man of his word:
"Elisa,
as promised, here are three exclusive preview photos from my recent shoot with photographer Kim Hanson. The full series will be posted on my blog tomorrow."
And more, he also gave me a little more info about him, so we can combine a face to the beautiful body ;-) In the last 12 months, Bryan Slater has worked with many talented photographers such as Walter Kurtz, Dylan Rosser, Kelly Grider, Steven Vaschon, Stanley Stellar, McKenzie James, Thomas Synnamon, Paul Reitz, and Brian Mills to name a few.

But yours Elisa didn't stop on Frank Louis, I also stalked Jack since I know that all you absolutely loved my last post about him. And Jack, nice man as I said, kindly answered letting us know his present and future projects:
"Hey Elisa.
So here is what I have been up to that may be of interest. A lot of stuff is in my bio and in my "press" section on jackmackenroth.com so, if you want, check that out too.
Recently my life has been crazy. I covered New York fashion week (ndr I was following Jack on his blog and the photos he posted were fabolous) and you can see clips of LOGO's Poplab here:
http://blog.jackmackenroth.com/2009/03/2
I have been traveling a lot speaking about my HIV education campaign Living Positive By Design livingpositivebydesign.com
I hosted a huge fundraising event in San Francisco for the Academy of Friends for their annual Academy Awards party. It was a blast.
Then I flew to LA for the final pitch meeting for my design show with co-host Kevin Christiana. We are now waiting to hear from the Style network and Oprahs new network called OWN. I can't say much about it but fingers crossed.
I just came back from Houston Texas for the AIDS WALK which was a great event. I walked with Pride Houston and met some really cool people.
Kevin Christiana and some of my former cast members, Kit (Pistol) Scarbo, Sweet P and I are planning a group fashion show in Miami in May. I am currently designing about 7 looks.
Now I am finally back in New York for a while and I am training for the Outgames which happen this summer from July 27th to August 3rd in Copenhagen, Denmark. I will be swimming and I specialize in breaststroke and I hoppe to win a gold medal.
Beyond that I am looking forward to my 40th birthday which is on April 29th. I am having a huge party on May 1st. WOOHOO!!!
More updates and news on Jackmackenroth.com and on facebook
THANKS!!"
I would like only to add that Jack is a real kind and funny man, everytime I write to him, even if he is busy with more important things, he always answers, never ignoring even a simple good luck email. And then he is so handsome! how can a man being prettier at forty than he was at 23 years old? (see photo below for reference!) Not that at 23 years old he wasn't pretty, but Jack you are like a vintage wine, you go better year after year! And so I would like to wish him a wonderful Happy Birthday a bit in advance and hope you all will join with me in this wish.

Jon Kortajarena, born May 19, 1985, in Bilbao, Spain, is a Spanish model best known for his ad campaigns for "GUESS?" Kortajarena made his debut in 2004 at the fall Emporio Armani and John Galliano shows in Milan and Paris. In the same year, he became the face of Just Cavalli for spring. His pierce stare, pout, masculine cheekbones looks led to more bookings and photo shoots. In 2007, Kortajarena received the opportunity of a lifetime: he signed with "GUESS?" With the heartthrob handsomeness of a young Adonis, Jon leaps directly to the head of the modeling class. 200 pages and the cover of L'Officiel Homme. Five campaigns on the stands at once (Bally, Trussardi, Etro, Guess and the new Tom Ford). With the heartthrob handsomeness of a young Anthony Delon, Jon leaps directly to the head of the modeling class. FW07: Guess with Yu Tsai SS08: Bally, Etro, Tom Ford, Guess with Yu Tsai, Trussardi F/W08: John Richmond, Jean Paul Gaultier Jeans, Tom Ford Menswear with Solve Sundsbo, Guess, Carlo Pignatelli. When not modeling, Kortajarena is into photography, independent films, and reading books by Paulo Coelho. His latest adventure is the new Brian Atwood Spring / Summer 2009 ad campaign alongside the sexy cougar Rene Russo (she’s 55!!). The ads were shot by Tony Duran.

Andrés Velencoso Segura was originally from Tossa de Mar — a small, gleaming-white Mediterranean little town with old medieval forts right on the Costa Brava of Spain, some ninety miles from Barcelona. He was born on March 11, 1978. One of Kylie Minogue’s boyfriends, don’t know if he is still since I don’t follow the gossip ;-) He was a superb athlete in his early twenties and readily admits he's nearly obsessed with soccer. He has Andalusian origin, his father is from the center of Spain, near Madrid, and his mother is from Andalucia. He is the oldest child and has two sisters. The tattoo above Andrés' heart, "Lucia", is dedicated to his mother's memory. His father has a restaurant in a castle, an old castle from the fourteenth century: when young he went to school in the winter and helped at the restaurant during the summers. He first started shooting with the really great photographers in New York. He did an editorial with Matt Albioni, and that shoot led to the Banana Republic campaign with Michael Thompson in 2002. That was his first big campaign in the U.S. and he loves those pictures. After that campaign, he really started to understand how it all works. And when he went to castings they already knew him. Calvin Klein was like: "Oh! So, he is the Banana Republic guy." Then a year later he was in Valencia shooting nine pages in French Vogue with Inez. Then he shot with Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot for the Louis Vuitton campaign with Jennifer Lopez. He shot also with Matthias Vriens for Japanese Vogue. Last September Elle Magazine gave him an award in Spain for Best Male Model. It was the first time ever that they gave this award to a man. In November 2008 in Munich he won the German GQ Model of the Year 2008. Recently he was on L’Officiel Hommes editorial by Milan Vukmirovic.
