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.

Coinciding with the publication of VMAN 16 today, we can not only reveal our gallery of Nick Knight's final editorial images of the six VMAN Model Search finalists, but also behind-the-scenes images captured during the two shoots staged earlier this summer. Showcasing Simon Foxton's selection of S/S 2010 fashion from the lives of Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, Raf Simons and Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci, these images are more than just editorial outtakes, providing a valuable document behind the decision to crown Rico Nieves our ultimate winner. Rico receives representation from Ford Models, and of course that coveted VMAN cover shot.
