#2 – BARAK SHAMIR

Greetings from New York, where model Barak Shamir talks to us about body language, no-phones holidays, and following in Channing Tatum’s footsteps.

Profession: Model

Birthday and Astrological Sign: 26.03.1999, Aries

Place of Residence: New York

I got really into learning about body language and micro-expressions — how much we say without actually speaking.

B.S

First thought I had today:

My family

Song I have on repeat:

Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar

left Coat Aiste Hong

Right Pants Tom Ford

My first role:

It was a student film project. I was really nervous at first, but I slowly eased into it. The whole crew made me feel welcome and like I was truly part of something. By the end, I had a great time.

My first crush:

Adi Himelbloy

My latest crush:

Doechii

My acting idol:

Channing Tatum. He came from nothing, there was a time he was sleeping on benches. My agent, Jason, discovered him, helped launch his modeling career, and from there, he took off. Now, he’s one of the most honest and talented actors in the industry. What I admire the most is how he turned his life around and took over the world, big time.

Place I feel most comfortable in:

Home

My most recent deep dive:

About a year ago, I got really into learning about body language and micro-expressions — how much we say without actually speaking. It totally changed how I see people, castings, and even how I carry myself on set.

Right Jacket Emporio Armani

Last film that made me laugh:

City Lights by Charlie Chaplin. It’s about a romance between Chaplin’s character and a blind flower seller who mistakes him for a wealthy man. The film is full of misunderstandings and sweet, hilarious moments that blur the lines between comedy and heartbreak.

Last film that made me cry:

Titanic — such a heartbreaking and tragic story.

Left Suit 5000

Right Top K.NGSLEY

My go-to outfit as of late consists of:

A mix of jeans in different colours, a white T-shirt, a black or green jacket, and white Air Force sneakers.

This summer, I want to:

Walk some powerful, creative shows during Fashion Week in Europe — especially ones that tell a story or take risks. After that, I’m dreaming of a proper break: somewhere warm, with close friends I haven’t seen in too long. Just good laughs, the beach, and no phones.

Jacket Emporio Armani

Most days, you can find me:

Running in the park or at a café near my place in Greenpoint, sipping coffee and working on my laptop.

#1 – MARKUS WIEDEMANN

Welcome to our new series THE FORM, in which we get to meet budding creatives from around the world. First up is Markus Wiedemann, an up-and-coming actor based in Munich, who tells us about his primal need of being outside, obsessing over words, and his Monica Bellucci crush.

Profession: Actor, Model  

Birthday and Astrological Sign: 04.05.1997, Taurus 

Place of residence: Munich, Germany

My first real role in drama school was the only female character in a very male-dominated play: Amalia in The Robbers by Friedrich Schiller.

Shorts Vivienne Westwood, socks and sneakers Celine Homme

First thought I had today: 

I wake up with the same thought every day: go outside! I’m like a dog.

Song I have on repeat: 

German singer Nina Chuba did a garden session of her song  Unsicher [Insecure]. It’s really beautiful. Check it out.  

Left Jacket Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello, briefs stylist’s own

Right Denim, underwear and socks Celine Homme, vintage boots

My first role: 

My first real role in drama school was the only female character in a very male-dominated play: Amalia in The Robbers by Friedrich Schiller. At first, I was a little salty about not being cast as one of the badass robbers, but I’m so glad that it went this way. I had to learn how to walk in heels, how not to sit down like a dude and got to choose and wear a really pretty dress. I learned so much, forever grateful to my wonderful director, Lea.

My first crush: 

I know that I “married” this girl on the playground. I don’t remember her name,  but the wedding was spectacular.  

Briefs stylist’s own

My latest crush: 

Changes daily. Yesterday I watched the 2003 Cannes Press Conference of Irréversible and renewed my love for Monica Bellucci. I love her work and her calm demeanour. One of Italy's greatest treasures.  

Shorts Vivienne Westwood, socks and sneakers Celine Homme

My acting idol: 

I have to split this up. Penelope Cruz is my favourite actress, pure gold. I will never ever get bored of her performance in Volver – in fact, I think it’s my favourite female performance ever. So raw and honest, you never stop rooting for her. Gaspard Ulliel is my favourite actor; his performance in Juste la fin du monde by Xavier Dolan made me want to become an actor. I think the vulnerability he allowed himself on screen is irreplaceable. Also, people who worked with him only have good things to say about him, I admire that a lot. I’m very sad he’s not here anymore.

Place I feel most comfortable in: 

Any place that can also house my siblings

My most recent deep dive: 

Drama school is a constant deep dive. You are always obsessing over words that are not your own. So fun, but I wish I could reset my brain like a hard disk from time to time.  

Denim Our Legacy, vintage shirt, pullover Jacquemus, hat stylist’s own

Last film that made me laugh: 

I watch Rocco and His Brothers by Visconti quite regularly. The scene at the beginning, where Rosaria, the mother of the five brothers, kicks them out of bed so that they can go off and earn money on the snowy streets of Milan, always makes me laugh. Reminds me so much of the chaos of growing up with five siblings and the mornings in our family home.  

Left Underwear Celine Homme

Last film that made me cry: 

At Easter, I rewatched the last Harry Potter movie after not having seen it for a long time. The scene where Harry tries to comfort Hermione with a dance in their tent, after Ron has run off, kills me every time. Such a  beautiful and honest on-screen moment of non-romantic intimacy between a man and a woman.  

Underwear and socks Celine Homme, vintage boots

My go-to outfit as of late consists of: 

Pair of good quality loafers (hoping mine survive the spring), good jeans and a t-shirt with a subtle crop, cashmere sweater if it’s chilly outside.
