Who are you (the long answer, no cheating by just giving your name!) and what is your profession (as in, how do you define it, rather than just the job title it has)?

I’m a very patient person, what helps me a lot in modeling. My job is to listen and understand the people I’m working with before just posing in front of a camera. Than I try my best to help them make what they want to create.

Who would you confine with?

With nobody, hahaha! Most of my friends work at the hospital, so I don’t think it would be a good idea.

View fullsize

What's your work-from-home style?

I do different types of art (personal only for now), I do sports, and I fix things or clean. There’s always something to do when you think about it.

Tell us something about yourself that isn't on your resume (a secret skill, a hobby, a previous job or fun fact about you).

I love crêpes !

 What's the first place you'd want to go when it's safe again to travel and go out?

Cuba. But I think going back on set would be smarter.

Who is in your fantasy Zoom party (Skype or FaceTime)?

FaceTime with my family. And we do that on Facebook with my old friends.

Who are you (the long answer, no cheating by just giving your name!) and what is your profession (as in, how do you define it, rather than just the job title it has)?

I’m from Marseille, south of France. I’m a musician signed with KMA and I curate Events. I work on different Pop-ups every year which include installations / music curation, interactive environment. My main activity during quarantine is Music and I’m working on some pop project but also way more experimental pieces that really evolve everyday depending on my mood.

Who would you confine with?

My girlfriend Anastazia Bobis! She’s a great painter!

What's your work-from-home style?

Making Music everyday, I started drawing again, and a bit of meditating to work on myself more than trying to make actual meaningful art.

#StaySafeAtHomeWith ... Valentin Humbroich

Hamburg, 12 April 2020

View fullsize

Who are you (the long answer, no cheating by just giving your name!) and what is your profession (as in, how do you define it, rather than just the job title it has)?

My name is Valentin Humbroich, I’m 21 years old and I’m from Hamburg, Germany.  I started modeling two years ago and I’m doing it as a full time job since I left school one year ago. For me modeling is not just about being ‘pretty’ but rather about getting into a different role for every shoot. Modeling has a lot of different kind of aspects and every set has its unique look and vibe that you have to adopt. Every shooting is a project by its own and a lot of different kind of people from all around the world come together and create something. 

View fullsize

Who would you confine with?

My brother Laszlo. He is one year younger then me and if I wouldn’t have him during these times I would’ve probably already gone crazy.

View fullsize

 What's your work-from-home style?

As a model there is not a lot of work which you can do from home. I had one online shooting and I’m doing some exercises do keep me fit.

Tell us something about yourself that isn't on your resume (a secret skill, a hobby, a previous job or fun fact about you).

Before I started modeling I worked at an ice cream store and I did an exchange year to Brazil for one year.

What's the first place you'd want to go when it's safe again to travel and go out?

I would love to go to New York again like I did last summer.

Who is in your fantasy Zoom party (Skype or FaceTime)?

One of my dead grand parents.

#StaySafeAtHomeWith ... Audi Bizar

Buffalo, 13th April 2020

View fullsize

Who are you (the long answer, no cheating by just giving your name!) and what is your profession (as in, how do you define it, rather than just the job title it has)?

My profession, in my definition, would be a creator. I create garments, drawings, songs, and most knowingly, help photographers and brands create images through the importance of looks, features, and clothing otherwise known as a model. So to sum it up, my profession is a creator... with many vast mediums.

View fullsize

Who would you confine with?

In this time if I had to confine with anybody, it would be my brother, Sav. That’s it. The less heads the better when it comes to isolation. The person also needs to be very well balanced with various characters, if not I will get annoyed or bored with them, which is the worst. 

View fullsize

What's your work-from-home style?

My work-from-home style consists of essentials but varies throughout the day. Here in Buffalo, NY, it gets very cold in the early morning and at nights but these past weeks it has been warm in the afternoon. If I’m just lying around the house I usually like to wear my Patagonia hiking pants with my Clark desert treks. During later nights I will have a baggy hoodie on with a beanie or facemask to stay warm. I’ve also been wearing lots of suits and vests around the house. It feels good to get dressed for no reason. Oh yeah, don’t forget the long johns!!

View fullsize

Tell us something about yourself that isn't on your resume (a secret skill, a hobby, a previous job or fun fact about you).

A new hobby that I have been really enjoying lately is making necklaces and bracelets out of everyday, around the house materials. It’s a nice challenge and it tests functionality and creativity. Also I want to learn how to pickle cucumbers to make homemade pickles, so I can mass distribute bizar pickles.

View fullsize

 What's the first place you'd want to go when it's safe again to travel and go out?

The first place I want to go when it’s safe enough to travel is Paris. I’m a little sick of NY so Europe sounds nice. Also maybe somewhere in California where I can hike.

View fullsize

 Who is in your fantasy Zoom party (Skype or FaceTime)?

Nobody is in my fantasy Zoom party. In all honesty I can’t stand people calling me on FaceTime, especially if it’s multiple people. But if I did, it would just be with all the homies from my hometown.

#StaySafeAtHomeWith ... Peter Dupont

London, 10th April 2020

Who are you (the long answer, no cheating by just giving your name!) and what is your profession (as in, how do you define it, rather than just the job title it has)?

I was born in Copenhagen and still have a strong connection to that place and lifestyle. I have always been involved in different social or activism projects, from refugee rights to climate politics. I’m actively doing boxing, running, biking, climbing and hiking. I have to be outside and like places that are remote and difficult to get to. I love to travel, especially with my girlfriend, Breanna. I like to create projects with good friends and people around me who inspire me. I am currently working on some projects where that is at the core.

Who would you confine with?

Breanna Box, my girlfriend. We have a lot of fun! We are good at giving each other space and helping one another with different projects we have going on.

What's your work-from-home style?

I usually start answering emails when I wake up and whilst having breakfast. Then I like to meditate or do something active and read. Lately I have been taking a lot of pictures. It’s fun to learn more on what it’s like to be on the other end of the lens.

Tell us something about yourself that isn't on your resume (a secret skill, a hobby, a previous job or fun fact about you).

I used to be a bouncer. I worked with security in a lot of different clubs and concert places in Copenhagen. I did it with a really good group of people and mostly at really nice places and like these pop-up techno party events. 

What's the first place you'd want to go when it's safe again to travel and go out?

A quick layover in Copenhagen to see my friends and family and then to Japan with Breanna. 

Who is in your fantasy Zoom party (Skype or FaceTime)?

I’m not that good at Zoom or FaceTime. In general I’m not that good on the phone. But if I could choose some people to talk with about stuff that interests me right now it would probably be the following: Wassily Kandinsky, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Josef Albers. I would speak to them about the history of colors and Bauhaus. Wong Kar-Wai to chat film and more colors. William Blake for disturbance and art. Awa Kenzo talking about different aspects of training and zen archery. Patti Smith to talk music and listen to her speak about New York in a period I wish I had seen. Massimo Osti for design and functionality.

#StaySafeAtHomeWith ... Fernando Lindez

Madrid, 9th April 2020

View fullsize

Who are you (the long answer, no cheating by just giving your name!) and what is your profession (as in, how do you define it, rather than just the job title it has)?

My name is Fernando Lindez. I’m a 20 year old Spanish, I live in Madrid. I like sports and hanging out with my friends. I’m a calm person, extroverted with people close to me, but sometimes quite shy too. I like to have fun, and take my profession very seriously because I enjoy the fashion world a lot. 

Currently I combine the world of fashion with my participation as an actor in the Spanish adaptation of the Skam series. I travel a lot which doesn’t allow me to do other things, but every time I can I take some acting classes with a coach. In fashion, I participate in fashion shows, advertising campaigns and have collaborated with magazines from various countries.

Who would you confine with?

I am currently confined with my family in the south of Spain. We were all surprised by the

confinement, and the truth is that due to the circumstances they are who I like to be with.

It reassures me that the whole family is doing well. When all this ends we will have time to enjoy with friends and have a little fun, but now I prefer to be with my family. 

View fullsize

What's your work-from-home style?

Well, even in confinement I keep working! I have several scripts that I have to study, and I am also doing some editorials, which is very funny because we have to do a display of imagination to collaborate through Skype and invent costumes, backgrounds and take photos with mobiles.

A few days ago I did a job for Vogue with photographer G. Postigo and that was very, very fun. We had to improvise everything, and even my sister collaborated. I spend time on social networks and although I am not very active I can now dedicate more time to people with whom I don’t speak much and I’m thankful for all the support I receive from people. 

View fullsize

Tell us something about yourself that isn't on your resume (a secret skill, a hobby, a previous job or fun fact about you).

Well, I am quite an athlete: I am very good at golf. I have played it since I was very young. Now I play less, but let's say I’m especially skilled. In summer I really like to water ski, and I also practice kickboxing whenever I can. I go to the gym 4 times a week. I take care of myself and I eat well, and I try to take care and hydrate my skin.

I remember that a few years ago I was very shy, nobody managed to get me to take a photograph clearly, I always hid myself, even refused to pose. Imagine the change to having to be constantly in front of a camera; at first it was very difficult for me.

My first big show was very funny: in the fitting I was shaking trying on clothes and as soon as I came out Donatella Versace was waiting for me. What an experience !! The truth is that I am reassured to see that she was a very normal and open person.

What's the first place you'd want to go when it's safe again to travel and go out?

The truth is that the severity of the crisis makes you value the smallest and most normal things from day to day. My desire is to return to normality and make my daily life simple. Thanks to my work I have the opportunity to travel to many cities and be in wonderful places. In July I’m traveling to Portugal, a trip I have planned with my friends for a long time. I would not like to miss it because I don’t have many opportunities to travel with them.

View fullsize

Who is in your fantasy Zoom party (Skype or FaceTime)?

They’ve asked me this question before and I really enjoyed thinking about it, so I think I'm going to give you a similar answer. A BBQ surrounded by friends would not be bad, and if my favorite athletes were there, Tiger Woods, Rafa Nadal, Messi and Travis Scott would rap us something. It would be unforgettable !!! Hahahahaha !!

#StaySafeAtHomeWith ... Thomas Riguelle

The Hague, 9th April 2020

View fullsize

Who are you (the long answer, no cheating by just giving your name!) and what is your profession (as in, how do you define it, rather than just the job title it has)?

I am Thomas Riguelle, I was born in Ghent, Belgium and then moved with my mom to The Hague, The Netherlands at an early age. My father stayed in Belgium, where I’ve been coming and going. He’s a musician and my mom is a translator (a really good one). I’m a very individual personality for better and for worse and I do many things. Most people know me from my modeling services.. I see modeling as something that can be very much like performance, and I love it when it becomes that! And honestly it always has something of it for sure … but it can also be very automated, tiring and stiff if you will. But you know it’s also a job at the end of the day, it can’t be fun 24/7.

Asides from modeling I’m heavily active collecting music and making music and DJ’ing and all sorts of other stuff. I work on a voluntary basis in a record store every so often In The Hague - shout out to @3345_thehague - and most of my future ambitions are music related for sure ;) Last but not least I’ve been skating for about 12 years or something and, finally, I just kinda love getting involved with all sorts of things; film, art, photography, etc.

View fullsize

Who would you confine with?

Depends for how long :p

View fullsize

 What's your work-from-home style?

I reorganized all my records day in day out for a week or two, then I started making music and now I’m selecting records for a few mixtapes. I guess my work from home style is busy and until late hours, like usually actually ahah, but normally I can’t do a lot of projects like these because I travel a lot and not everything is possible on the road. So yeah, that’s something great :D

View fullsize

 Tell us something about yourself that isn't on your resume (a secret skill, a hobby, a previous job or fun fact about you).

Well fun fact: I was a horrible student. I got kicked out of school 3 times during high school. Eventually I stopped going really … but then later I did finish something after all. But so, yeah, during those years I was exploring a lot, doing young people’s stuff, good stuff, bad stuff, … and I learned a lot.

So No! I barely have anything on my résumé really ahah, but a lot of amazing times :)

View fullsize

 What's the first place you'd want to go when it's safe again to travel and go out?

Got this all figured out, don’t worry haha.

First Paris back to my lover and my actual home. Then to New York and Canada for work and hopefully seeing some friends. Then Copenhagen if the timing is right (mid summer is best!) and then Asia half for work half to be a tourist.

View fullsize

 Who is in your fantasy Zoom party (Skype or FaceTime)?

Mike Tyson, Mark Zuckerberg, Dennis Rodman, the president of North Korea, Ricardo Villalobos, Peter Wright (the darter), Gemma Collins, Nardwuar, and of course Eddy & Sandor (two specific friends of mine that really need to be there).

#StaySafeAtHomeWith ... James Crewe

Halfway between the Essex countryside and Coruscant, 10th April 2020

View fullsize

Who are you (the long answer, no cheating by just giving your name!) and what is your profession (as in, how do you define it, rather than just the job title it has)?

As a kid at school I was heavily into David Bowie and the series of fantasy worlds he created so taking from that coupled with as children naturally do; I embellished the truth. I’d answer that I was the love child of Diana, Princess of Wales and David Bowie’s Thin White Duke. I believed it soooooo much - to some degree, I’m still eager for it to be true. I lived that fantasy turning like a cat around school with my head so high. It was an incendiary act, but I was relentless.

I often mumble to myself: “I wonder if that was the catalyst,” where I find myself now? I was about to start work on an exciting film before the lockdown; Covid-19 dependant, hopefully that picks up once more. I'm eager to start playing a character on the big screen, it seems the natural path from previous choices I have made whilst modelling with the likes of Alasdair McClellan, Sølve Sundsbø and Tim Walker. Helping these photographers in finding a character, both vivid and breathing, for their photos is too much fun and truly an extension of my fantasy.

Otherwise, on any given day, you can find me, face down in eBay’s search engine, PayPal 1 touching, vintage magazines for research as well as trawling through online archives for anything that sparks my interest, usually gun toting blonde dykes, Maserati boomerangs, and YouTube clips of interviews with David Bowie being fractious.

View fullsize

Who would you confine with?

Currently, I am with my family and my baby girl Mitzi Chun-Li (an English Pointer), who simply can do no wrong in my eyes, even after she’s chewed her 7th shoe this week. I’m quite a solitary boy, so the idea of being confined with other people detached from my family unit fills me with trepidation - what if we argued? So I guess I’m quite content with being in my current situation.

However, I have quickly discovered that I am quarantining myself with my multiple personalities shifting through numerous gears within the hour; I’m gradually getting to know the minutiae of their quirks. I have successfully beaten off my Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop persona, practicing soothing meditation, chanting chakras for acceptance and knocking back spinach and flax smoothies. It was never going to be long term GP, sorry. This morning, my favourite persona, Linda Hamilton’s Sarah Connor in Terminator: Judgement Day, which appears at the most Darwinian occasions; Sainsbury’s. Granted there is an apocalyptic air in the world, but I’m not losing now, there’s so much to achieve. Then there’s the over-cautious James, asking “Where can we get hazmat suits online?”, “That scruffy man in the park who pets Mitzi better observe this 2m policy or I’m kicking off” and “Should I be wrapping Mitzi top-to-toe in cling film for her own protection?” This subsides once I’ve logged into Mubi for a 4 hour trance session.

View fullsize

What's your work-from-home style?

Firstly, I don’t strictly work a job, but I certainly have found other ways of occupying my time besides walking Mitzi along the beach, weighing into Anna del Conte’s Gastronomy of Italy, and vacuuming up news reports with a good measure of dance breaks thrown in. I’d like it known that my life is utterly irrelevant compared to front line workers who are actually contributing serious work throughout this global health crisis. They should really be interviewed instead of myself.

I’m quite concerned that when watching the news its all full of Covid-19 related issues, rightly so, but we aren’t hearing about other important issues such as poverty, domestic violence and these issues are very much still continuing during Covid-19, if not exacerbated - it worries me about the fate of some of these people who are suffering. I feel their stories aren’t given enough airtime, better still how can the everyday person with money and time to spare help those in need?

I’m also struck by the contrast in how the world has dealt with this virus. It’s interesting to see the contrast between AIDS and Covid-19 and the consequent course of action. My Lady Mother always teaches me to question what anyone tells you…

So far, growing concern about the long term economic consequences of the epidemic have translated into calls for the lockdown to cease as soon as possible. True, the longer we are confined to our homes, the more businesses will fold under, the longer those lucky enough to have savings will run dry of them. Then we must think about the knock-on effects of recession, those fortunate to retain jobs will instinctively question every pound spent - a paradox of thrift. It was hypnotic to see journalists pressuring a response from the government when the death toll creeps to 7500 as to when we might be allowed out.  We are nearing the moment of maximum danger, the moment hospital chiefs take a sharp intake of breath and even power hungry Whitehall mandarin atheists start praying.

A lighter note...

The UK government's advice is to ’Stay Home’ so whilst I’m racking up my nauseating lockdown hours, the silver lining to this - glinting ever so slightly - is that I can start exploring cyber sex. With an intermittent internet connection, greasy webcam and an all too present wheel of death flashing up; every single night they still hit me up. Through the phone they think we’re in love, but touching myself puts everything back on track just be sure to say that freaky shit you know I like.

If I’m honest, I’m enjoying this respite. I just came off a MA course in menswear that does absolutely diddly squat for mental stability now switch to me sneaking down to the basement drinking all my dad’s Belvedere. It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

Tell us something about yourself that isn't on your resume (a secret skill, a hobby, a previous job or fun fact about you).

I don’t like birthdays. Never have done. Not when it involved towers of pancakes and a wax candle wedged through, definitely less so as I edge nearer the end. There are those who adore their birthday, a schedule of organized fun demanding your attendance to cake unveilings, holiday cottages, club nights and private dining sessions with all attention, hugs, kisses and compliments to be expressly directed towards them.  

And you’ll always find spirits like me, who could heave at the prospect of someone commissioning a secret party in my very honor. Weeks beforehand feeling anxious and purposely keeping a low profile to avoid any risk of a round of “Happy Birthday” in a restaurant full of strangers. Imagine if that conceivable person is putting a lot of effort into this celebration and they clock your forced smile rendering them resentful and liking you that little bit less. Also presents! I don’t ever want presents, well actually if you were to buy me the Lego Star Wars X-wing Fighter I’d be pretty chuffed. But besides that, I cannot perform a grateful expression to save my life so I, at all costs, try to avoid these situations. I’ll happily settle for being the greatest dancer with my good friend Lady Ms. Ralph in a sweaty club on a Friday night.

View fullsize

What's the first place you'd want to go when it's safe again to travel and go out?

I pen this missive laid out on my bed looking out to blue skies. I’ve decided where I’m off to; I’m going straight back up into the clouds - I miss the sun bedding down over clouds, a never to be forgotten perspective. You know, I get so fed up when I hear friends, who travel a lot, chuntering they loathe flying. These are the types who aren’t pondering on the evolution of human kind beginning in mud huts to flying first class (I upgraded: bite me) with the seat back sipping on Belvedere and cranberry. They maybe operating a policy of dodging and denial, but you’ll find me commanding joy and pleasure from the idiosyncrasies of humankind. Whether it’s navigating the airport like it’s a Crystal Maze puzzle, travelers packing 15kg too heavily holding the check-in queue up by layering on their extra baggage or those daring to use the airport shower facilities, (you’re both brave and yet worrying). All of them convince me that 9am is in fact a thoroughly businesslike solution to start sloshing down Russia’s finest.

View fullsize

Who is in your fantasy Zoom party (Skype or FaceTime)?

Hmmm, well I actually have been forced into a number of Skype sessions of late. I have noticed a change in behavior from once before we were face-to-face, to now being pixel-to-pixel; an awkwardness, a wariness. A wariness of potentially being screen-recorded maybe? Consequently, I find encounters are more reserved and measured… So I’m proposing that this Zoom party is a strictly no talking moment in time - I cannot be dealing with these standing around chatting situations, me hoying back spirits in defense against dull conversation in the smoking area. This Zoom party is a certified dance party - a party where all inhibitions are left at the zoom conference code - clothing optional.

For my guest list, you wonder. I’ve been on a Visconti binge for the last two days and Helmut Berger (The Damned) pops up along with Romy Schneider (Ludwig), so they’re coming. Berger was my crush for some time so hopefully he’ll take up that role at the party once more. Helmut Newton is there, with a bevy of whiplash beauties. Some kids from school who dance like stripper hoes. 

We need some good dancers so John Travolta, without any shadow of a doubt. A pickled Princess Margaret, bedazzled with a tiara. 

Then I need a JG Ballard thrill; some sexy petrol heads and corporate bankers, alongside Duran Duran, Kabuki, Paula Yates, Angie and David Bowie (sorry Iman) and some sexy friends of mine.

#StaySafeAtHomeWith ... Heather Kemesky

Los Angeles, 7th April 2020

View fullsize

Who are you (the long answer, no cheating by just giving your name!) and what is your profession (as in, how do you define it, rather than just the job title it has)?

I am a human having a human experience on this planet in this life time. And my hopes are to leave one day a piece of myself for future generations to be moved by.

I am a model, that’s my job. But I don’t believe what I do to make money defines who I am. Because I am much more than how I make money. We all are. It’s just something I do, it’s another part of me. And I love what I do - and am grateful I have the opportunity to do it! I love when I get to create and bring to life a vision, a story or a moment with a team. That part is what we all love about this profession I believe. I love being able to create something that will hopefully last for generations to look at and be inspired by in some way.

View fullsize

 Who would you confine with?

My girlfriend - that’s who I’m confined with during this time. And I’m so grateful because I know some people during this time are quarantined in some less fortunate situations. It’s great because we are each others best friends and partners - we know how to give one another space when we need it. And when we don’t! We love so much of the same things! So it’s really easy to be “stuck together” 24/7 this way. We both are creative in different ways so we can come together and have fun putting our heads together and make art.

 What's your work-from-home style?

First thing I think that’s really important as we all can’t leave our houses during this time, is “getting ready”. I do make an effort to get out of my pajamas in the morning during this quarantine, even if I’m not going anywhere - it helps me feel more productive simply by just doing that. Most days my routine has been workout gear first and workout of course - shower then get dressed. 

Since I don’t have a 9-5 job, I’m not working from home in that way. So for me during this time I’ve just been using all my creative juices, I’m studying new things, taking master classes - using this time to work on old and new projects. Reading, writing, watching movies. Having date nights with my girlfriend, haha. And coming up with ideas and ways to collaborate with people from afar. It’s been an interesting time and I think we are all coming to find new ways to work under these circumstances. Hopefully things can get back on track again soon.

View fullsize

 Tell us something about yourself that isn't on your resume (a secret skill, a hobby, a previous job or fun fact about you).

A fun fact I guess would be....is when I travel or I’m just somewhere out doors - even near my home - I will collect or find little treasures as in stones or shells or interesting sticks - I bring home a lot of random crap but sometimes it’s really been worth it! My most recent bring home fell on to my front porch actually. We have palm trees outside and part of the palms old dried part fell off and right at my front door so I brought it inside and used it as a canvas to paint on. 

And I really love dressing up! People don’t know that about me really. I love an excuse to put on a different face and wear a costume. I wish there was more of that.

View fullsize

 What's the first place you'd want to go when it's safe again to travel and go out?

Most importantly I want to hug my family, each and every one of them. I will drive to each one and make my rounds - give the biggest hugs and kisses.

Then book a ticket and fly or get in the car and drive to a forest or some beautiful beach. I’m dying to get into the water and swim. Just the thought of salty skin and hair from swimming in the ocean… Sounds like magic to me. I can’t wait to soak up all the nature I can after being inside for this long.

View fullsize

 Who is in your fantasy Zoom party (Skype or FaceTime)?

I mean there are so many people I would want. For so many different reasons. To list a few:

Johnny Cash if we could bring him back to sing us all Folsom Prison Bluesand San Quentin.

Jim Carrey for his humor and impressions, and to hear what he thinks about covid and quarantine.

Tim Burton, well because I just think he’s so talented and he has created some of my all time favorite films and shortly after he graduated his first job was at Disney as an animator. And I love Disney and animation and him, so yeah I want him at my Zoom party for sure!

Natalie Portman because she’s a badass woman! And stands for what’s good in the world. And I love all her films. It would be cool if it was a costume Zoom party and she was dressed up as Padmé. I’m a Halloween baby, so I love a costume party so maybe the Zoom would be a costume party?

Also Tim Walker to throw in someone else I admire. I love the worlds he creates in his pictures and fantasies he brings to life. He has also worked with Tim Burton! So that would be a fun reunion…
