Even if you don’t speak French, you’ll likely understand the language of PREF magazine. And we love the imagery in the latest issue (No. 20). You can find this on the newsstands if you live in a larger city (or a lucky few smaller one’s too!) or order it online. (You’ll also find some cool galleries on their site too.) PREF magazine hit your magazine seller this past Saturday…
QC is pleased to present Joshua Walter, an early 20-something who has really shot up to the top of the male modeling world in a short period of time. Based out of New York with Request Model Management, Joshua is a born and bred New Yorker. He has this rough edge about him that we find very charming (hey as an ex-pat New Yorker, I miss that ‘edge’ the boys there seem to have), he is a cancer, born on July 7. Stats: height 184cm; eyes green-blue; hair brown. When working in Europe he is based with Beatrice in Milan. Joshua is wholesome good-looking fun, and, yes, he needs to eat a cheeseburger with extra cheese. And with mayos…wait that’s our lunch order…
As we promised a while back we bring you our new Male Model Moment update with Matt Benstead. So let us be upfront, we love Matt. No we REALLY LOVE MATT. He is our favorite model working today. That’s our opinion, maybe not collectively as a whole QC thing, but as a fashion thing, Matt is the ideal model. Tall very striking, and yes he’s a little lanky (read; thin, or skinny) but the boy is the heir apparent on the runways in Europe. Matt is based out of London where he lives and represented by Models1; in New York by New York Models, and in Milan by Beatrice Models. If you are watching this Matt, well then we love you even more.
We are proud to give you a new format for our Male Model Moments, with a QueerClickVideo (QCV). What better way to to start our video series than the British reality television show “Make Me a SuperModel”? It’s down to the final five boys and they are doing a shoot for the UK gay glossy Attitude. Surprise guest — male supermodel Danny Beauchamp — shows up to lend a helping hand. We love Danny and all that sexy Brit-boy charm. Enjoy!

Iran Gomes, castaway star of Big Brother 6 Brasil, bares it all in March’s issue of the always hot G Magazine. We did a lil nosey pokey and discovered he’s actually represented by Elite Models Brazil. Check it out for some of his glossy fashion shots (we think he resembles British singer Seal) and then see why he really is a BIG brother after the jump where he’s stripped bare and hanging stiff!

Because you can never have too much a a good thing, especially when it speaks with an accent, we give you a day in life of male model Evandro Soldati.
For Laurence!
Evandro Soldati has been hailed as one of the most beautiful men in the world. We would harldy disagree. While assembling this layout, we had a hard time not getting lost in those eyes and imaging those lips doing…well we’re sure you get the idea. Evandro is currently ranked number 6 this month on models.com 50 Top Models, “the Nasdaq of modeling”, which translates a models visibilty into the rank order. This Brazilian beauty is represented in New York by the powerhouse of agencys FORD, in Paris by Success models and the hot shot agency in London Models 1 home to a future Male Model Moment hottie Matt Benstead (who we are secretly crushing on, ok MAJORLY crushing! If your reading this Matt drop us a line). HIs stats are HEIGHT: 6’1, CHEST: 38, WAIST: 30, SHOE: 9.5 UK, HAIR: Brown, EYES: Green.
(Hey Laurence, we didn’t forget your request. Hope we made it worth the wait for you babe!)

Ahhh…could he be any more perfect?
As many of you already know the stores tell us its spring, but the weather is still feeling and looking like snow (at least to we sit, looking out our window). So in the sprit of enlivening the winter doldrums we offer you a preview of the collections we will be covering over the next few months – and we won’t drag it out like we did with our fall 2006.
We decided to expose you to some new labels that may not as well known as they should be New York’s Rag & Bone, as well as Trovata who we discovered in spring 2005 and fell in love with the details they give their clothes. We’ll look at the majors, Dior Homme which was in EMO mood this season, DSquared2 who went major body, Michael Kors who went Broadway Bound with a Fosse inspired collection that left us wanting to live forever in knit cashmere jogging pants. We’ll also be covering collections we love to wear ourselves, Cloak, Duckie Brown, John Bartlett, John Varvatos, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Neil Barrett. As well looking at style options for the trends of the season, or in translated from fashionista how to look like it’s from Neil Barrett on a GAP budget.
The thing is we really like Miuccia Prada. We love her sense of line and proportion, the ideas that she comes up, and the influence she has others in her industry. So we know that some of you (and believe me we read the comments as well, so you know who we are talking about) are going to dismiss this collection with a “ughh ugly skinny models” “they look stupid with those helmets on”, and my favorite “somebody please those boys a cheeseburger”. So if you are so inclined to do that please scroll along. Get a move on…
Leave it to Paul Smith to add new life to a tired old horse, that of the Wild Wild West. Smith is a master of tailoring which is purely English. It should come as no surprise that he was able to combine with seamless effort the world of the cowpoke of Clint Eastwood and Paul Newman with that of King Edward. In other hands we would be extremely worried of the outcome, but Smith keeps it simple by pairing a plain white shirt with the simplest details with a finely tailored down dark-gray flannel suit.
This was a collection meant for one thing: to sell at the retail level of Smith’s branded shops as well at other menswear stores. Big chunky cardigans with western motifs, the easy fit boot-cut jean, and the large cowboy style belt buckle.
We really have a hard time explaining why we love Neil Barrett and his fall 2006 collection so much. Could it be the mix of subversive elements? The army fatigues that were paired with some of the best pieces of evening wear perhaps? Or was it the elegant tailoring that defined the whole collection? Or maybe it was the feeling that we were watching the casting call for the extras in 1997’s Gattaca by Andrew Niccol? Whatever the reason maybe the collection presented on the catwalk was sublime, surprising and very chic.
The collection was rooted in the idea of the military overcoat, and from there the ideas came forth; epauletted overcoats, field jackets with tails, camouflage-patterned shirts (with general’s three stars no less), olive trousers with fine-satin stripes with the crispest of creases.
