"MELTING POT MODEL"

Braeden photographed by Bryan Haynes

Braeden, 18, is a Matinee Model Management newcomer of African-American, German, Irish and Indian descent from a smalltown in Pennsylvania. He began investigating modeling avenues earlier this month once friends told him his 6-foot-2 sleek physique reminded them of male models in YouTube videos of designer collections. Braeden, the youngest member of a warehouse restocking crew, reached out to us and we then reached back to the Sixties for inspiration in his first photo shoot. Braeden certainly likes to stay on the move. He loves dancing to music from Chris Brown and Jason Derulo, kayaking, hiking and snorkeling. www.matineemodelmanagement.net

"BELARUS BLOCKBUSTER"

 

Matinee Model Management was built on our vision of developing models with silver screen star quality. So, when photographer Diego-Miguel Viscardi scouted newcomer Denis and sent him into the agency last night looking like a young Jon Voight from "Midnight Cowboy," we signed the Belarus native on the spot! Denis, too, is a fan of classic films, as well as the band Modern Talking, jigsaw puzzles, BBC's "Top Gear" and he only recently discovered French cuisine as his all-time favorite. With rugged good looks, earthy physicality and piercing eyes, images instantly came to mind of actor Paul Newman's star turn in the iconic "Cool Hand Luke" and "HUD" when Denis was standing there drinking coffee and wearing a plaid shirt and denim jeans. The comparisons ends there, however, since we don't think he has any plans that include prison bars or cattle ranches. Denis has set his sights on following in the footsteps of male supermodel David Gandy.www.matineemodelmanagement.net

"URBAN COWBOY"

Matinee Model Management's newest idol, Abe, was discovered recently while he was searching for a store before the mall closed. Barely two weeks old in industry, he's already shooting his first international magazine cover and editorial spread this weekend. Born and raised in Mexico, Abe is an avid fan of archeological ruins, home cooked health food and 15th-Century Spanish literature such "Don Quixote of La Mancha." Fortunately, he 's a fan of traveling to interesting locales since he's already being sought after for the upcoming Spring/Summer 2015 Men's Fashion Collections in London, Paris, Milan, and Spain.
