Following our live shoots earlier this month and back in July, we can finally reveal the name of the winner of our VMAN Model Search. The lucky one, as you may have guessed, is the charming man above - Rico Nieves, from Ohio, USA. The rather dashing Rico will not only receive a contract with Ford Models but also the much-coveted cover slot of VMAN 16. Our other four finalists will also feature in the VMAN editorial spread alongside Rico - and galleries of all the VMAN Model Search finalists will be live on the site on Monday - watch the blog for more info!

The shoot has now ended and it's been an exciting day for everyone. Final images will be collaged into a mishmash of black and white photos added with accents of colour. Keep an eye on VMAN Model Search to get updates and find out who will make it to the cover of VMAN. With a weekend ahead, some of the models have planned a tour of London as it's their first visit to UK. And they certainly deserve it!

After a brief incident where everyone had to evacuate outside the building, the LIVE SHOOT has now resumed. So far the models have shot in their first outfits (out of two) and are enjoying the experience very much, even if they have to get their hair cut very short or wait long hours for their turns.

Matt Nicol from Toronto, Canada is the first model to start off. Sporting a Givenchy number, he is looking confident in front of Nick Knight's camera on his very first shoot. Only one winner from all five finalists (including D'Marco from our last shoot) will make it to the cover. You can be the judge!

The finalists of the VMAN Model Search are Rico Nieves, Matt Schimitt, Louis Harris-Tench and Matt Nicol. Apart from Louis who lives in London, they've all flown in last night from US and Canada. For most of them this is their first shoot ever! Styled by Simon Foxton, the models will be wearing top labels like Giorgio Armani, Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen. Watch everything happening live on the LIVE STUDIO or you're all welcome to come down and see it in person.
