About The Project

Partnering with VMAN and Ford Models, in May and June 2009 SHOWstudio offered our male viewers the chance to become the next face of men's fashion. Chosen from over a thousand entrants by Nick Knight and Simon Foxton, our first finalist D'Marco Jones will be shot, with our cameras broadcasting every move. A real-life real-time editorial will unfold before your very eyes as we upload Nick Knight's unretouched images live.

Our live shoot begins!

D'Marco Jones live on set

The live stream of our VMAN Model Search shoot is starting on schedule - but we have some changes to the advertised programming. While D'Marco is present and correct on the studio floor, his fellow finalist Daiv Ambrose was somewhat dramatically turned away at customs (great British beaurocracy at its very best). Scuppering our anticipated plans for a two-model split-stream, Nick will now shoot D'Marco solo in a selection of Simon Foxton's finest and we'll be loading the real-time editorial shots as they are created. Despite Daiv's unavoidable no-show (after a nine-hour drive to obtain a last-minute passport, and the same again to get the poor lad to the airport), the contest is by no means over - plans are distinctly afoot to shoot Daiv, in some kind of fashion, in his Houston hometown. More news soon, but for now click here enjoy all the action from the shoot.
