2020 - THE WINTER THAT STAYED . You’d think the million megawatt smile of London-based model MONTELL MARTIN would melt the frozen environs of my “The Winter That Stayed” series. But we good cause his chill factor and equally off the charts. This brother NEVER fails to make me smile whether he’s dropping brilliant fashion work, displaying his ever-present goofiness on his socials or dropping lyrical wit in the studio and a burgeoning emcee climbing the ranks in the UK Rap game. . Montell is repped in his London home by: @selectmodellondon, in Paris by @newmadisonmodels, in Milan by @EliteModelWorld, and in Chicago and LA by @selectmodelchicago & @selectmodellosangeles . This joint was designed from a shot captured during Montell’s Fall campaign for @BershkaCollection. . Check out the following post to see whats behind this Winter Chill series.

2020 - THE WINTER THAT STAYED . Supermodel FERNANDO CABRAL, one of the most brilliant, enigmatic and quietly thought-provoking models in the Industry, dropped one of the most brilliant, enigmatic and quietly throught-provoking covers of 2020 when ELLE hit the shelves in Romania this month. The @TommyHilfiger photo spread with digital social media influencer @NooNoouri is pure cultural fire. Fernando, younger of the storied Cabral brothers, delivered his trademark chill and otherworldly ease in this interspecies shoot. The color palette and the sheer icy coolness of the pics made it a MUST to close out my series of “The Winter That Stayed” TuTchT joints. . Lisbon-based Fernando, a world-shaking discovery nudged somewhat reluctantly into the game by his older brother (& fellow Fashion Model Superstar/Footwear Designer @Armando_Cabral) and his mother agency @karacteragency has been at the very top of the game for a decade now, with no signs of slowing down. He is repped worldwide: In NYC by @Wilhelminamodels, in Paris by @marilynagencyparis, in London and Milan by @nextmodels, in Barcelona by @unomodels, in Amsterdam by @brooksmodelingagency, in Brussels by @dominiquemodels_official, in Copenhagen and Toronto by @Elitemodelworld, in Hamburg by @modelwerk, in LA by @twomanagement, in Sal Paulo by @megamodelbrasil, in Stockholm by @selectmodelstockholm, and in Sydney by @kultmodels. .

2020 - THE WINTER THAT STAYED . I've got mad love for this brother, UK Actor MALACHI KIRBY with his chill exterior & purpose-fired interior! One of the best actors/best humans I've ever come across. Can’t say enough about this guy (plus I need room for all the creds below.) A longtime pillar in London's state and screen acting community, Malachi made his US debut in 2016 with a brilliant, soul-wrenching, criticially-lauded performance as Kunte Kinte in the ROOTS miniseries, Since then, his UK-based career Highlights have been: a critically acclaimed stage performance in London’s West End, a starring role in a disturbing episode of Black Mirror, and a lead in last year’s high octane street race drama series "Curfew." His new series with Patrick Dempsey, DEVILS, an Italian spy thriller set in the international investment banking world, dropped in Italian & UK markets last month (coming soon to the USA.) Mr. Kirby has also impressively stepped into the playwright role with his world premiere gritty urban joint, “Level Up” set to open in London’s famed West End. (currently Covid-delayed along with all West End shows.) . But this brother never rests on his props. 2021 will bring us his recently completed pressure-cooker-f-a-film "Boiling Point," set in a restaurant kitchen, He's currently filming a new miniseries written and directed by “12 Years a Slave” helmer Steve McQueen. This @bbcone series, “Small Axe” is set in London’s West Indian community in the 80s and pairs Malachi, for the first time, with his fellow @Identitydrama_ classmates & fellow superstars @JohnBoyega & @Letitiawright. . This winterized entry in this weekend’s series is designed from a 2019 shot by Seventh Production lensman @arvedphoot for @1883magazine. Styling by @sayuri_bloom, grooming by @chan.p .

2020 - THE WINTER THAT STAYED . This past Fall season brought us lots of work from TuTchTFav BAKAY DIABY. This Parisian brother’s uniquely sculpted and widely versatile face has fascinated me from the first time I saw him 5 or 6 years ago. His chameleon-like skills have made him easily one of the most prolific models working today with nearly 200 high profile gigs in about 5 1/2 years of work. That’s FAR above average if you’re wondering. . Monsieur Diably ’s mother agency in Paris is Bananasmodels and he’s repped throughout the world: @nextmodels in NY, @WhyNotModels in Milan,@MilkModelManagement in London, @Trendmodelsmgmgt in Barcelona, @@Uniquemodelsdenmark in Copenhagen. . This joint was designed from a shot of Bakay for the Fall 2019 @Apropos_store journal. (The riginal clothing has been slightly altered for this portrait.) .

2020 - THE WINTER THAT STAYED . RAFAEL MIESES is a Dominican brother who oozes a winter chill kind of smoothness. He’s been on the scene for about 3 years and has proven to be adept at a wide range of top drawer campaigns, shows and gigs. He embodies a youthful energy with an old-soul, knowing glint in his eye. He can be seen all over the runways of the world, and was most recently spotted a few days ago delivering groceries to those in need throughout Santo Domingo Sabana Perdida. . Rafael is repped in NYC by @Red_models, in Paris by @premium_models, in Milan by @urbnmilano, in London by @imgmodels, in Barcelona by @unomodels, and in Copenhagen by @twomanagement This joint was designed from a shot of Rafael kicked back in a @isabelMarant Campaign in 2019 (original clothing has been altered for this portrait.) .
