'GANGSTER CHRONICLES"

Wil, Braeden, Cornell and Craig @MatineeModelMgt
by Yama Terrell for Andrew Howell Menswear F/W 2014-15

 
 
If we've learned anything from watching gangster movies like "GoodFellas," "Casino," or "The Godfather," it's that bad guys travel in packs. Well, it seems that might have been the inspiration for photographer Yama Terrell, who gave new meaning to sinister and sexy in the preview images for the newest collecton of menswear designs by Andrew Howell for Fall-Winter 2014-15. The collection includes suits and sportwear in plush-touch fabrics with intricate leather details, ties, shirts, accessories and even underwear. Spring just arrived but suddenly we're looking forward to seeing more of this kind of cold-weather couture!

"MARRY FOR FAME"

Vicent photographed by Brion McCarthy for Baltimore Style Magazine
"What's love got to do with it?" Ask stylemaker Suzin Boddiford of Baltimore Style, who beautifully illustrates all the reasons to get to the church, city hall or a drive-thru chapel in Las Vegas with the help of lensman Brion McCarthy. The fashion editor picked Matinee Model Management's Vicent Levianora to pose with Cima Talent Management's Courtney Hejl for the portrait of the couple who marries for fame. We loved the whole Marilyn Manson-meets-Adam Lambert rocker inspiration for the groom! http://www.baltimorestyle.com/index.php/style/fashion_article/the_marrying_kind

From Russia with Love

From Russia with Love
Maybe, it's more appropriate to say "Comrade with Arms" since new model Mikhail hails from Moscow but would much rather talk about the tattoos that adorn his shoulders and biceps. He's already sought out by major agencies in the United States and Europe with barely a solid month in the modeling business.

Wanted Man

Wanted Man
Hugh's All-American good looks ... Blonde hair, green eyes, gym-toned physique usually nabs clients looking for a Brad Pitt lookalike or a college football hero. Look for the Virgina native to appear on upcoming reenactments on "America's Most Wanted" trying help catch a few on the lam felons.

"Suddenly, Sinatra"

"Suddenly, Sinatra"
The boys of Matinee Model Management have always had a fondness for silver screen legends. This time "Ol' Blue Eyes" Frank Sinatra was the theme of the latest shoot for Mikhail, Bronson and Jeremy ... with the guys evoking shades of Frank from crooner to film noir private eye.
