Abercrombie & Fitch Model - ALLEN CLIPPINGER















Allen Clippinger from California. he part of the famous Clippinger Twins with his brother James. he hometown is Elk Grove, California. I have six sisters and one twin brother, James, all scattered throughout California. 

Allen got into modeling when he was in the U.S. Navy stationed at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. He was just walking with some friends on Waikiki beach when a model scout named Zach, who was working with Abercrombie at the time, came up to him and asked him if he could take a few snap shots. It ended up leading to his first job, which was Spring 2006 A&F gig with Bruce Weber. However it was difficult due to that I was on active duty in the military, but in the end it turned out to be a great experience. Allen's personal plans are to finish school first. He then wants to go back into the military as an officer. Perhaps try to get into flight school. He has always wanted to be a naval pilot. 



Next he wants to finish his website: ClippingerTwins.com, which he has been working on with his twin brother. Allen also wants to eventually create a fitness video. Allen describes himself in 5 words: easygoing, spontaneous, driven, sympathetic and flirtatious. Allen spends his free time working towards reaching his goals, in the gym, swimming, running, living a very active lifestyle, partying with friends and exotic women in Miami. Allen has done work for A&F, Levi's, Blooker Sportswear. I lived in Japan, and worked with cosmetic company called Shiseido. 

Also Aquarius Sports Water in Japan and Country Calendar. He worked with photographers such as: Luis Rafael, Bruce Weber, Jeff Slater, Eugene Gallegos, Ronald Tan, Lope Navo.

Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2012


Italian label Dolce & Gabbana crafts a web of a season for their spring 2012 collection. Seeking to interject tailored menswear with a fashion-forward concept, the latest range looks to meshed textures for a signature look. From casual shorts and hooded tops to more striking suiting, designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana demonstrated a playful hand this season. 

While crisp suiting made an appearance, the relaxed nature of silhouettes and inclusion of fun separates, ranging from the jumpsuit to barely there jackets made for a fresh outing, coupled with style and substance.





BodySpace Spokes Model - Steve Cook



He is a rising star in the fitness and bodybuilding world: Steve Cook, 26 years old, perfectly ripped, handsome, with a winning smile and charisma. In the first video Steven tells why being strong is a life style for him and why weight training saved him at his lowest point of his life.

"When I go to the gym, it's 100% business. I do like to go fairly heavy", Steve Cook powerfully says about working out. From Boise, Idaho, Steve fell in love with lifting weights while playing high school football. This past year he has taken the bodybuilding and fitness industry by storm with triumphs in multiple natural bodybuilding competitions, winning the Bodybuilding.com Fit Body Contest, stealing the show at Muscle & Fitness Magazine's Male Model Search, and now with his recent title of 2011 BodySpace Spokes model. 

With his boy-next-door good looks, amazingly symmetrical physique, and dedication to serving as a role model to others, his star will continue to rise. When asked what he would do as a BodySpace Spokesmodel Steve summed it up in one simple word, "Help." In this video he explains his training, nutrition, and supplements in detail. After a very successful collegiate career ended Steve was able to focus more on bodybuilding and diet. He enter his first competition and won he class and has hooked ever since.

Dirk Bikkembergs Spring & Summer 2012














Taking a dive into the deep end, the men of Dirk Bikkembergs were in top form this season. The wet occasion featured an aquatic outing of swimming gear with skullcaps and wet suits on drenched models wrapped in towels, complemented with sandals and goggles. 

The eccentric collection progressed into a fine selection of jersey blazers with graphic detailing, drawstring shorts and shirting with a fruit motif. In addition, geometric shapes took the forms of stars and color blocking, stretched across both knitwear and tailored suiting, while micro-shorts and decadent silk scarves completed the look of the Dirk Bikkembergs man.

David Gandy for SERGIO K by Terry Richardson

 
Made In Brazil has an exclusive first look at the complete Sergio K fall 2011 ad campaign photographed by Terry Richardson at The Jane Hotel in New York with none other than Super model David Gandy.

Most Brazilian labels haven't unveiled their fall campaigns yet, but it is going to be very hard to beat the hotness factor of this one. 

The campaign was art directed by Marcelo Sebá and styled by Jose Camarano. On a side note, it is refreshing to see a Brazilian designer that understands the importance of sticking to an idea and further developing it every season. Other Brazilian labels should pay attention and learn.

New Body Digitals - AARON O'CONNELL














Aaron O'Connell was born in Dayton, Ohio. Loved son, always taking care of his family. He who knows he's handsome, he soon ceases to be it. But when you see Aaron on photographs you immediately know that he's the almost extinct balance between inner beauty and gallantry, portraying in his eyes, the ephemeral nature of eternity.

Many men will come after Aaron O'Connell but nobody can compare with him. Aaron is just not a model... Aaron has the passionate ability to take you on a journey full of fantasies and adventure, every time he lights up the stage. You will see now some of the giant collection of photographs of Aaron O'Connell. The career of this extraordinary man is indescribably amazing.
