About The Project
Partnering with VMAN and Ford Models, in Summer 2009 we offered our male viewers the chance to become the next face of men's fashion. Entrants uploaded images and videos of themselves and a selection of finalists were chosen and invited to participate in two live shoots in London. The lucky winner Rico Nieves received a contract with Ford Models and was photographed by Nick Knight and styled by Simon Foxton for the cover of VMAN 16.
