MEET HIM ....

MODEL'S PROFILE FOR THE WEEK:

ANDY RODDICK
TENNIS PLAYER
ABOUT HIM :
Today, he is the darling of tennis and called the future tennis star. Armed with a 140 mph serve, Roddick opened the eyes of the tennis world with a stunning upset against top players who have held the No.1 ranking: Pete Sampras, Marcelo Rios (at the Ericsson Open), Carlos Moya ( in Montreal) and Gustavo Kuerten (in Montreal). Roddick is quickly becoming a marquee draw for star-starved tennis fans. His face adorns the cover of the latest Tennis Week magazine, above the headline "Finally more hope than hype." He's been featured in Sports Illustrated, ESPN the Magazine, the New York Times, USA Today, People, The Late, Late Show with Craig Kilborn and has been voted the Most Beautiful Man of September 2001. Off the court, Roddick loves pizza and tends to call people “dude.” Players and tennis officials say he is humble, polite and has his ego under control. His coach, Tarik Benhabiles, praises Roddick's work ethic and has said, “Andy has no limits.” Roddick watches Sampras and Agassi closely, not just their tennis, but how they conduct themselves as professionals. “I think Andy's a good guy,” Agassi said in Miami. “He's a quality person who is very considerate of people around him and his environment. ... I like his game. (And) I like the way he handles himself.”

Celebrating Jamie Strachan : It's British top male model
Jamie Strachan's turn to hug the limelight.








Fresh from the runways of Milan and Paris, Jamie Strachan still exhibits the same energetic, boyishly-appealing, extremely personable and friendly bloke he has been known for.

Regarded as one of the hottest male models on the runways, Strachan also made a name for himself when he modeled for Gucci, Nicole Fahri, Dries Van Noten, the twin stints for Hugo Boss (both the Orange and Black labels), Versus, Burberry, and Kenzo. Going back to the runways, Strachan can be seen strutting his stuff at almost every point of the fashion spectrum- from Ralph Lauren to Gucci, from Versace to Calvin Klein.

I feel like I am a very normal guy in a very abnormal business. I sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed by it all. But I realize I am very lucky. I used to live in Paris when I was a kid. From around the age of 14. I lived there for a year, full time with my parents and then I went to school in the south of England. Meanwhile my parents still lived in Paris, so most school holidays were spent there. Paris is Paris. It is the most beautiful city I have been to. The art galleries there are some of the best in the world. Which I still go to often, even though I am no longer actively studying art. But I still love art, and still draw and paint as much as I can.

Jamie Strachan is one good case of a model who practice "patience is a virtue" Indeed for a man so young, it seems being patient about a career in modeling is as hard as staying in one place...

Then all of a sudden, he's everywhere especially on the runways, with his smirk-grin-half smile-whatever style, long flowing hair (that he sometimes put in braids) and those soulful eyes. Finally, the "potential" that he was became the "celebrated" that he is now.


At an early age (we assume he is only in his early twenties) he has already did quite an impressive gigs with some of the best Designers- Hugo Boss and Gucci. Not to mention quite an impressive stints in the editorial field.

Date Posted: 17:17:00 09/13/04 Mon





Birthdate: March 31, 1976

Birthplace: Dublin, Ireland

Occupation: Actor

Quote: "It all goes back to [Joel Schumacher]. I wouldn't have done Phone Booth without him. I wouldn't be doing Hart's war. I probably wouldn't have done American Outlaws if he hadn't picked me out of obscurity. I've worked, but not at the level or people I'm working with now if he hadn't taken a chance on an Irish kid playing a Texan." --E! Online, January 2001

Claim to Fame: Starred as Roland Bozz in the Joel Schumacher film Tigerland (2000)

Significant Other(s):
Wife: Amelia Warner, actress; married July 2001

Family:
Father: Eamon Farrell, Irish football player

Factoids:
As a teenager, Farrell hoped to follow in his father's footsteps to soccer stardom

Education:
Attended the Gaiety Drama School in Dublin; eventually dropped out to play Danny Byrne on the BBC series Ballykissangel

When Edward Norton pulled out of Bruce Willis’s upcoming WWII film, the director enlisted Irish upstart Colin Farrell to fill the void. “If that’s part of the reason I got Hart’s War, I couldn’t care less,” says Colin. “For whatever reason the stars have aligned themselves in the right place at the right time. I’m loving what I’m doing now, so I’m just going to see what happens.” What’s happening is this: Colin Farrell is about to become a major star.

In 1999 Colin auditioned for a small Joel Schumacher project called Tigerland in London. And while he hadn’t read the script, the former Ballykissangel hunk used his charm to good effect and landed himself a callback. With the help of his sister, Colin video-taped his best Texas drawl – after throwing back a few pints – and sent the tape off to the Hollywood heavyweight. A short while later, the Batman Forever director placed an early-morning call to the actor, saying, “Wanna make a movie?”. Such was the end of Colin’s relative obscurity.

And while Tigerland earned a paltry $140,000 at the US box office, the name Colin Farrell was suddenly on every casting agent’s lips. Betting house Ladbrokes was even taking bids on when he’d land on the cover of Hollywood bible Vanity Fair.

“It’s mad. None of this was planned,” says the 5ft 11in actor of his sudden Hollywood stardom. “I always just auditioned for jobs and hoped I did well, so I could move on to the next step. Now I’ve skipped so many rungs on the ladder, and I’m working with Cruise and Spielberg. It’s insane.”

Colin was born on March 31, 1976, in Dublin, to Eamon Farrell, a former professional footballer, and his wife Rita. The youngest of four children, he originally planned to follow in his father’s tracks, but Colin enjoyed a good time too much and found the idea of rigorous training daunting. Instead, the man with a penchant for colourful four-letter words spent a year travelling Down Under.

Upon returning home he shifted gears, enrolling at the Gaiety School of Drama. But, not a great fan of school, he soon dropped out. Stage roles at London’s famed Donmar Warehouse, where he was spotted by Oscar winner Kevin Spacey, who earmarked him for a later film, would follow, as did television roles. Then Colin made the leap to film and never looked back.

The self-assured actor has just wrapped Minority Report with Spielberg and Cruise, and Phone Booth – playing a role once linked to Jim Carrey – with Schumacher, as well as Hart’s War. He’ll next be seen on screen in American Outlaws as the famed hero of the American West, Jesse James.

In July 2001 he shocked his close friends by secretly walking down the aisle with 19-year-old English actress Amelia Warner in a Pacific island resort.

“I’m going to get a backpack and grow a beard,” he says of his plans for when his next four projects open. “Acting is not where my happiness in life comes from. I won’t be shedding any crocodile tears if it’s taken away. I’ve had a good trip so far.” And it’s just the beginning…

Brian Bianchini, one of most beautiful men in America passed away at a young age of 25. As a sucessful model and actor, and a champion athlete, Brian still suffered from severe bouts of depression, which drove him to suicide and eventually took his young life.

A native of San Francisco, Brian Bianchini was a 1996 graduate of Mills High School and later attended Skyline College. Wrestling had always been his passion since the age of seven, that he won both high school and intercollegiate wrestling competitions. Brian was also an martial arts expert.

Brian was discovered by Scott Hoover, a booker with Click Models, while he was having a cup of joe in a San Francisco cafe. It had taken a while before Brian really got comfortable in front of cameras. And instantly, some world's best photographers, including Bruce Webber, Roger Moenks, David Lachapelle, Steven Klein and many others fell in love with his beauty. Brian was remembered as a humble and cordial person, and his photographs reflect his intensity, his strength and gentle nature.

The list of campaigns under his belt include Reebok, Versace, Abercrombie & Fitch, Body+Body Wear and print ads for International Male and Undergear. Brian was featured in the pages of Vanity Fair, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Contents, Black & White Magazine and Men's Fitness; and in cover articles for DNR Magazine, TV Guide and Instinct Magazine. He was also featured in several European runway shows and commercials.

As an actor, Brian appeared on "Baywatch Hawaii" and on "MTV's CLass of 2000", and in three feature films: "The Black Magic", "The Brotherhood" and "Girl for Girl". Despite the success that Brian had achieved, it was short-lived. Brian had difficuty finding worthy works that require his talent instead of his body. Brian's declining career may have contributed to his depression. He had tried several times previously to commit suicide. During one attempt, the San Francisco police department had to use a Taser to subdu him.

Now, Brian is forever gone. Everyone who knew Brian was terribly saddened to learn of his death, and extends their deepest condolences to his friends and family. May his soul rest in peace.

Subject: Ryan Cabrera - Artist of the Week


Author:

[Edit]

Date Posted: 12:02:17 09/03/04 Fri






There are few artists that can truly connect with an audience they way Dallas, Texas singer-songwriter Ryan Cabrera does. Atlantic Records agrees, as it just signed Ryan to a multi-record deal. So what does this 20-year-old on the verge of turning 21 have to say about it all?

"So when do I tour?" Ryan asked manager Joe Simpson, who also manages Jessica Simpson. For those who don't know, for Ryan it's all about performing live.

"I sometimes feel I can move mountains with my music. When people come up to me and say how something I wrote or a performance I gave changed them or moved them in a great way, it truly makes me feel alive. I now know I can put a positive message out there and people feel me."

Ryan began playing guitar and writing songs at a young age and gradually matured into an accomplished performer. While still in high school, he began performing at and eventually headlining elite Dallas venues such as Trees, the Gypsy Tea Room, and the Curtain Club. While performing at Dallas venues on a consistent basis, Ryan began to branch out into the Lone Star State and began performing in Austin, Houston, San Antonio, and South Padre. While playing in the Texas area, Ryan was opened for several national touring bands, such as Sister Hazel, Nine Days, Wheatus, Dexter Freebish, the Pat McGee Band, the Old 97's, Monte Montgomery, Sugarbomb, and many more. Ryan has also performed on side stages for Third Eye Blind, Tonic, and Ben Harper.

At 19, Ryan continued to boast an impressive touring schedule spanning out to several cities across the U.S. Some of the clubs Ryan has performed at include the Village Underground in New York City; Schubas Tavern in Chicago; Juanitas and Sticky Fingerz in Little Rock, Arkansas; George's Majestic Lounge and JR's Lightbulb Club in Fayetteville, Arkansas; the Still in Towson, Maryland; the Blue Note in Columbia, Missouri; Flannigan's in Shreveport, Louisiana; the Grape St. Pub in Philadelphia; the Point in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania; Antone's, La Zona Rosa, Lucy's, Mango's, and Momo's in Austin, Texas; the Laboratory in San Antonio; and Fitzgerald's in Houston.

In the summer of 2001, Ryan took a brief break from touring to record his independent debut CD entitled Elm St, which is currently sold-out. Ryan spent several long nights at Deep Ellum Studios recording Elm St in which he produced, arranged, played all guitars, keyboards, and drum beats, and even beatboxed. Saxophonist Raoul Shroff joined Ryan in the studio and performed on several tracks.

"I was excited about the opportunity to join Ryan on the CD. He pushed me to try new things and really explore my own creativeness. I think we were able to capture something truly unique and something that stands on its own," says Raoul.

Soon after Elm St, manager Joe Simpson caught wind of Ryan and immediately signed him to his management company. A few months and several trips to L.A. and New York, Ryan signed a publishing deal with Evan Lamburg of EMI Publishing and a multi-record deal with Atlantic Records. Once he signed, the writing process began. When the album was written, producers were quick to try and sign on for Ryan's major-label debut. Ryan eventually chose to work with Johnny Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls to co-produce the record. Ryan will also share co-producing credits.

"I think the chemistry between Johnny and I when we were writing songs together solidified my thoughts of having him produce. He brings such a unique quality to my songs and he's able to capture so much more than I thought was possible, not to mention the fact that I spilled his glass of red wine on his brand-new freakin' billion-dollar white P

ersian rug, and I figured I should throw him a bone." With his very personable attitude, mature songwriting, and catchy arrangements, many predict great things for this unique artist.

Many of our model now has not so good looking but they have the x-factor as what they call it. But i think to be a model is not the looks it self thay asked for the attitude. I have a brother who's willing to be a model but he's so timid and afraid to socialize to people. Maybe he will need to go training to develop his confidence.

To all fashion guru and expert... what we shall do to make his dream and wants to be a model will come true?

This is the final feature to our TOP Male Model. Here is the final rank for our TOP 5 male model.



5. Heath Townsend / IMG
Heath was hanging out in Brisbane Australia when his sister sent pictures to a NY agency convinced that nobody this epic should be mired working on an oyster farm. And how right she was, because tastemakers from Calvin Klein to American Vogue have harnessed his beautiful features to full effect. Now add Louis Vuitton with Mert and Marcus and Davidoff fragrance with Mondino to his list of triumphs and what you have is stardom.



4. Nicholas Rippy / Wilhelmina Men
Nicholas Rippy is former top 50 Model Kelly Rippy's baby brother. Judging from Nicholas' many editorials and recent turn in the steamy CK Jeans ads, it's safe to say that good genes run in this model family!



3. Karl Lindman / Wilhelmina Men
As the solo male face of the Calvin Collection campaign, Sweden's finest, Karl has earned himself the kind of visibility that new models give their left arm for. Now that's global beauty



2. Shaun DeWet / Elite Men
He's a man of Truth (for Calvin Klein), a former Arena Homme Plus coverboy and the grand recipient of a Hugo Boss exclusive. Of course you glimpsed him first on MDC MOTW platform so now when you see his billboard riding every city street, something about this face will ring with sweet familiarity.



1. Brad Kroenig / Ford
Handsome AND charming. Hardworking and ambitious, Brad Kroenig has leapt to the front of the class as the male model of the moment. From V Magazine to Karl Lagerfeld (Fendi), Mario Testino (Cavalli) to Inez and Vinoodh, Richard Avedon (Hermes) to Patrick Demarchelier (Tommy Hilfiger) the clients concur. This is the model with the most cake


Now you've seen the top 50 Male models of the world in series. See you again to our more series feature of male models. Bye!

You've seen him in Prada ads 6 seasons running, glimpsed him on countless runways and seen him glowering in all the right editorials (W, L'Uomo Vogue, Arena Homme Plus). Mr Kinkead is one male mannequin who truly gives it on camera.





9. Jon Passavant / Major


This very visible up and comer is the featured male in the Intuition ads for Estee Lauder and now according to WWD: "is the official male spokesman for Beyond Paradise-the new scent for Estee Lauder- only the second time in history where the brand has had an official male spokesman. The print campaign will be the largest the brand has ever done in the men's category." Can we say cha-ching, cha-ching?





8. Nick Bryant / V Models


Hot men's designer John Varvatos and American icon Ralph Lauren have both designated this young New Zealander as a face to watch in their current campaigns.





7. Will Chalker / NY Models


An exclusive with the much coveted YSL catapulted this young English gentleman into the Top 50 spotlight. With editorials and campaigns pouring out, expect to see Will front and center this season.





6. David Smith / IMG


The current "It" boy, David Smith's is the current Gucci icon representing the line from ready-to-wear, through to fragrance.

Jens Klapatsch
Professional Model, from Germany, 24 years old, stands at 6'1" with blue-green eyes, blond hair. Jens modeled for Speedo, Marithe' & several 'hairstyle' & 'hairshow' projects around the world & has walk the runways for the Milan fashion Week.

Jens Klapatsch: I am 24 years old, born in the South of Germany in a town next to Karlsruhe. I am very much interested in sports, I feel that about a good workout I can feel a certain self-satisfaction. I think it has something to do with a sense of balance between my physical being and my mind. Being in good shape can really make a big difference. I am also a fashion-conscious person. I like to buy clothes, if it's something new and trendy, expect me to be one of the first to wear it.

My very first model experience was a test shooting with a photographer near my hometown. I know a rather established hairstylist who has been working for a long time in the fashion business, and is stylists to famous stars. He is very close to the photographer and arranged to have my pictures taken.


The best part of being a model is the chance to travel around the world, meet different people from different places. The worst part must be being alone by yourself and missing your family and really close friends.

I don't have any special dreams or even wish because I know that I am on the right way to get some great projects soon. I already got shoots published in magazines, commercials and catalogues. My work on the Milan runways is already a dream come true for me.

There is no special person I can point out right now. But there are a lot of people all over the world who started with nothing and went straight to the top.

Atesh Salih lives the good life!
_ModelWatch launches the profile of one of the most mysterious male _models to hit the fashion scene, Atesh Salih!
_By Gig D'Aguiar, July 2004





Atesh Salih is that rare breed of male models who abhors compromises but remains approacheable and friendly. Extremely protective of his privacy, Atesh remains a mystery even to his most ardent admirers...
We at ModelWatch felt extremely priveleged for the honor that Mr. Salih granted us when he agreed to do this rare interview.

Here we find what seems to be the obvious- the man is an extremely talented and decent human being, not to mention the fact that he exhibits one of the most unique and handsome face to hit the fashion scene...

As Gig noted in an introduction to Mr. Salih..."In this interview I would like to provide a glimpse into your life, what it feels like to be you, and some of your motivations..." Atesh certainly made his points clear- his answers are both insightful and philosophical to say the least...


Gig: Can you please describe your background? Were you raised in a religious household, a family with athletic leanings, or more emphasis placed on academics? What are some of your memories?

Atesh: My parents aren't that religious, although my dad is Muslim and my mum was brought up a Catholic. I didn't really have religion forced upon me but we were influenced by both religions culturally.

There was a real emphasis on good manners, politeness and hard work. With my mother being a school teacher education was always a priority.

Gig: Growing up what were some of your aspirations and goals?

Atesh: It was always important to me to be financially secure and independent and I concentrated on making that happen from an early age. And secondly I wanted to be successful as an actor.






Gig: What events or people have inspired you and made an appreciable difference in your way of thinking? Was there anyone in your family or outside that made a difference to your life?

Atesh Recalls" "In my twenties I spent a lot of time just hanging out with friends in different cities around the world - most of it was really superficial, some are still mates today.
Atesh: Travelling and seeing so many different cultures has certainly influenced the way I think and my world view in general. In terms of just one individual influencing the way I am it's my mother. Especially when I was growing up, as she taught us at home for several years.

Gig: You were a Sifu of Wing Chun Kung Fu for a period of time, and undoubtedly a student for much longer. How do you feel this way of life and teachings have helped you in the highly superficial arena of modeling? In life in general?

Atesh: It helped to give me balance during a very hectic and insecure period of my life, gave me some sanity and an outlet outside the madness of fashion.

Gig:What personality traits do you feel were inherited from your father? From your mother?

Atesh: His laid-back attitude and her positive outlook.

Gig:What were some of the things you did for fun?
Mr Salih was generous enough to send us this scan of his, featuring a cover for Vogue Hommes. CLICK to view larger image.

Atesh: In my twenties I spent a lot of time just hanging out with friends in different cities around the world - most of it was really superficial, some are still mates today.

I used to go to bars, parties and night-clubs as most models do, but it does get boring after awhile. These days the highlight tends to be dinner or a film with my wife or a night-in with a good book or some Tele.

Gig:Where did you go to school and what was that experience like?

Atesh: I went to school in Essex. Let's put it this way, I'm glad those days are over.

Gig: Did you think of yourself as good-looking? (Undoubtedly your look is very unique, I myself can be best described as somewhat of an average-joe, my interest is particularly piqued on this question!)

Atesh: Like everyone I have good days and bad days.
Gig: Do you listen to music? If so, what genre do you particularly like? What is currently in your player?
Atesh: It depends on my mood. Right now it's Arabic, last week it was J.Lo and at the weekend it was my local Greek Radio station.



Gig: When and how did you make the transition into modeling?

Atesh: It's the old story of mum and my sister pushing me out there. They heard a local radio ad looking for new talent and so sent in my photo and then marched me down there for a photo shoot.

Gig: You've just done a movie called "The Winter Sun is a Lie". What was that experience like? And what was your role in it? Also, will it be released to a wider audience, or is it purely an art house film? (On a side note, do you think it would be possible for me to view it?)

Atesh: I played the brother to the main character in the film. It's still in post-production and will probably be released at festivals.

Gig: In my opinion the pictures taken by Peter Lindbergh for both the Giorgio Armani and A. Testoni campaigns were some of the most beautiful that I've seen. What is the experience of being photographed on an assignment like? Are you very self conscious while being photographed?

Atesh: Generally it's fun. You may snigger but there is a little bit of acting involved (not much). You have an idea of the style of the photographer, and what the client's product is like. Then you go to work and try to give them the image they want. It's not brain surgery.



Gig: What are some of the exercise and diet routines you keep? You have a well structured build, very lithe and sleek yet also muscular. Would you attribute these features to good genetics or lifestyle?


MINDSPEAK: Travelling and seeing so many different cultures has certainly influenced the way I think and my world view in general.
Atesh: I'm skinny like my dad. I'm not obsessive but I try to go to the gym a couple of times a week. My diet's balanced, a bit of everything, with a little excess of one or the other every now and then.

Gig: What are some of your aspirations, and what leaves you most fulfilled at the end of the day? In this life, what would you like to be remembered for? What are some of the things you would like to accomplish?

Atesh: I'd really love a home abroad, somewhere hot. Also I'd like to be respected as an actor in years to come. A good meal is pretty fulfilling!

Gig: And finally, what advice would you give to someone starting out on a modeling career?

Atesh: Good luck!! It's unpredictable, so make sure it's not the only thing you're doing and don't forget a 'Model' is not for life.



-----

Acknowledgement: ModelWatch is extremely grateful to Atesh Salih for his willingness to be interviewed for our website. All credits goes to Gig D'Aguiar who made sure that everything goes well- from contacting Mr. Salih's agencies to finally securing the much-deserved response from Atesh himself.

What is your comments to various Male Pageants around the world. Are they being exploited or promoting that Men are really dominated in the pageant scene. It is natural that Female beauty pageants are really "in" because of the beauty of the women. But when it comes to male pageants how they can gaged or measure the beauty of men? By means of looks , almost perfect body , inteligent , being smart or just being them selves. Well whatever the qualities it is still the male pageant is one thing that men can be exploited or being use by society for a certain bad exposure.

30. Michael Gandolfi / Ford Men
The buzz is out on Ford's rising star. With everyone clamoring for this versatile Belgian, from the very European client (Roberto Cavalli, Nicole Farhi) to the very American (Tommy Hilfiger), Michael's moment has definitely arrived.

28. Bill Gentle / Next

Any model who can ride a Numero cover, burn his way through a Louis Vuitton campaign and glower so cinematically in Kenneth Cole, Valentino Roma, Cerrutti and now look fresh and new in the Banana Republic campaign is a certifiable star. And such a pleasure to dress for runway! (Fits the clothes like a dream!)



27. Danny Miller / IMG
IMG's new editorial sensation has caught the eye of many of the industry's best. Stay tuned for more of this young American hearthrob.

Visibility. That's what it's all about.
Though there are hundreds of male models booked for very good jobs everyday, only a choice group achieves that elusive ideal, booking those maximum visibility campaigns and editorials, shot by the world's most influential photographers.
Visibility is what the smart model converts into dollars and longevity, driving up his catalogue rates and converting his status from fad to fixture.
Tune into MODELS.com Top 50 listing and get the definitive fix on who those glamarous faces riding those giant billboards in ads for the star-making fashion giants (Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, DKNY, Gucci, Versace, Hugo Boss, Prada etc.), as well as gracing the pages of fashion bibles like Arena Homme Plus, L'Uomo Vogue,Vogues Hommes, V, Details, Dazed & Confused, The Face, GQ.
At the same time get a glimpse of the promising new faces that will be winging your way in the next few months in the Spring 2003 campaigns and editorials.
And if you're missing out on your beloved favorites like Tyson Ballou, Gabriel Aubry,Ivan, Jason Shaw, Mark Vanderloo, Ryan Locke and Alex Lundquist then stay tuned for the unleashing of MDC's Top 50 Male Models Of All Times Listing.
It's going to be epic!





50. Adam Kaczor / Elite Men
His charts are clogged with the best editorial bookings imaginable with clients ranging from Arena Homme + to ID and new school photographers Alexei Hay. With features this clean cut and wholesome, the sky's the limit for Adam.



49. Marios / DNA
Here's yet another former MOTW, who lives up to his Greek God billing with an epic Arena Homme Plus cover which led to that major Ralph Lauren and Express booking. Of these tears are fortunes earned.







48. John Dietrich / Next
Next's angelic John Dietrich has become the darling of the show crowd, walking for Calvin, Ralph and Gucci. Look for him to headline Next's men's division's resurgence when he headlines the new campaign for Gucci Envy.
