I just remember losing my shit the first time I saw this photo for Narciso Rodriguez's fragrance, because the model was just so goddamn beautiful. This photo just feels naive, and candid, and raw. I'm sad to say that the model, Evandro Soldati, doesn't quite captivate me as much in his other work. Props to Inez & Vinoodh for the gorgeous photo.
AJ Abualrub is an up and coming male model who's done a lot of work lately with Calvin Klein. You can spot him with the silver hair in the CK Campaigns, but he's got a pretty cool story! He hails from Kentucky, and was a finalist in Vman's model search. But his real name is Ahmad Jamal Abualrub, he's not really got any Arabic features, but that's a pretty intense name as is.
Check out his pics below and profile on Models.com.
Madonna's attachment to Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs is endearing, though the Fall 2009 campaign was a little tacky in my opinion, she's sporting a great dress by Balmain in her new video for Celebration. I think she should move a bit further from the LV bunny ears and more towards something more chic for her age and body, though still daring and new.
Do your thing Madge.
