Cesar Casier lives in Ghent, Belgium and has already done a fatty pile of cool work. He’s walked for Dior Homme & Louis Vuitton. His name is Cesar. He’s recently been the new face of DSquared along with Lara Stone and Kerry Degman, shot by Mert Marcus & Alas Piggott. Cesar has worked with Jolijn Snijders / ILOVEFAKE. Those four things alone are damn impressive. If you don’t mind Cesar, help me fucking get in touch (literally) with Lara Stone. We’ll get to that later though… Let’s do work. (Cesar Casier decidedly chose not to answer all my questions, but I left the interview in it’s rawest version so you could imagine some answers yourself… Who doesn’t love a mystery?)

Thanks Cesar! You pretty much rock and sometimes people tell me I look like you. Okay, so that’s never happened but it would be cool if it did. We’re going to meet up one day.
What more can I say than Cameron Krone is genius? Did you read my personal, deep chat with Cameron Krone himself? Well if not, read it here. Even after assisting so many fantastic photographers (Nathaniel Goldberg, Craig McDean) he’s got his completely own way of approaching things and every time it turns out something different — new and exciting. Plus his blog is worth a good read. Maybe he can hook me up with Myf…

Coco Rocha, my high school crush, has finally gone back to black. Her red hair was an adventurous change. But God Almighty we’re glad to see the brunette back where she belongs. We’ve got enough gingers as it is. Naturally. You can see the snapshot on
her blog. Yeah, these photos are super old too. Sometimes you can find beauty in the elderly, like when they buy you chocolate bars. Kidding. On a side note, I’ve officially published
23 interviews with people who
see like me,
and there is only more to come. You may notice the thumbnails down the right hand side link to all the interviews in chronological order that I’ve published them. I’m trying to get a separate page up, but seeing as no web designers have offered their help, it’s proving to be difficult. I’ve interviewed everyone in fashion from photographers
Cameron Krone &
Jolijn Snijders, to models
Siri Tollerød & Canada’s own
Alana Zimmer. Here is Coco in Numéro 88.
