FIRST LOOK: Alex Dunstan’s First Time

Edited by Kirby Marzec

Jump-starting another successful modeling career is Hedi Slimane and his series of photographs featuring 18-year-old Brit, Alex Dunstan. If you recall, Slimane practically catalyzed the careers of Cole Mohr, Georges Barnett, Josh Beech and Ash Stymest, so it isn’t too far-fetched to predict that Alex Dunstan is going to be the next big face in the male-model world. It’s nice to see some fresh blood in the mix, but Cole and Ash will always be near and dear to my heart! Oh, and is it just me, or does this kid look strangely like Olivier Theyskens?

BEHIND THE SCENES: LURVE Magazine Shoot with Cole Mohr

A few things you didn’t know about Cole:

DESIGNER TO KNOW: A(r)mor Jewelry

Edited by Kirby Marzec

Having recently posted some pieces from Bliss Lau’s recent jewelry line, there’s no doubt that I’m a huge fan of the body chain jewelry, as seen plastered all over Cole Mohr, Ash Stymest and Luke Worrall in the Vogue Italia February 2009 issue. After doing my daily snoop on Nitrolicious, I noticed that Wendy was rocking out some similar pieces by indie designer, A(r)mor.

Essentially, A(r)mor creates structural body chains, just like Bliss Lau, but at a fraction of the price. While many of Lau’s pieces push the $600+ mark, A(r)mor is just as cool and basically under $200. Loving the Miko piece and how it is a dual necklace and body chain!

BEFORE THEY HIT PUBERTY: Cole Mohr

Edited by Kirby Marzec

Blame it on my creepy, stalker-like alter ego, but I somehow found myself lurking on Cole Mohr’s Facebook fan page in the wee hours of the morning. These photos from Mohr’s younger years are 100% proof that some people never change. Despite the page-boy haircut and his seemingly preppy teenage style, Mohr looks exactly the same, plus or minus a few tattoos. If only we all could retain that “fresh out the womb” face…we’d be living in a world full of models.

THE BASHED: SoPopular’s Fall 2009 Campaign

Edited by Kirby Marzec

Being the lurk that I am, I can’t help but Google and/or Youtube my favorite models on a weekly (okay, daily…) basis. Cole Mohr was my model prey for the day, and when I stumbled upon Berlin based label, SoPopular‘s, 5 minute video campaign, starring Cole Mohr, for their Fall 2009 collection, I expected the drool to be rolling down my chin.

Yeah, Mohr looked mighty fine, but watching this campaign wasted 5 minutes of my life that I’ll certainly never get back. Here’s a brief synopsis: Still shot of Mohr in sweater #1. Wolf staring. Still shot of Mohr in sweater #2. Wolf laying on floor. Mohr spinning in circles in sweater #3. Wolf yawning. Well, the wolf wasn’t the only one yawning. Come on, where’s the goofy, energetic Mohr that I know and love? Why the hell is there a random wolf in the campaign? I know Mohr was probably an expensive model to book, but random canines don’t really make much sense, now do they?

Please, compare the two videos below. How on earth was Mohr able to keep a straight face in the SoPopular campaign? The only answer: Adderal.

Thanks Charmants!

The messy hawk is trickling down into mainstream, and now that Kingston did it, we’ll be seeing more of this do on the streets..

SOPOPULAR: Fall 2009 Collection

Edited by Corey Moran

I’ve decided that the best thing you can do for your blooming business is just hire Cole Mohr to do your lookbooks, because whether it’s that good of a collection or not he’s going to manage to make it look cool. The latest collection from SOPOPULAR is pretty standard looking with the exception of their amazing sashes and belts. The mostly grey pallete has been done to death, and the coats and jackets are good but not great. It really comes down to a good shoot and Cole Mohr that makes me want to own these pieces, and that isn’t a bad thing at all.
