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. (6 new TuTchT joints droppied this weekend! Follow #TuTchT to see them & my other work when they drop) . @montellmartin_ @tutchtig #TuTchT #TuTchTIMAGING #ThruTuTchTEyes #MontellMartin #TheWinterThatStayed #SaferAtHome #WinterChill #Bershka #TuTchTModelPortraits #SeasonofSheltering #TuTchTFav #Covid19 #TopMaleModels #TopBlackModels #MontellMartinTuTchT #2020TheWinterThatStayed https://www.instagram.com/p/CABM9Hql7vn/?igshid=ydh13k9m3lbf

REMEMBERING HARRY UZOKA Each month on the 11th I feel you lookin back at me with your endlessly curious mind and impish grin, hahaha checkin up me. The amazing gifts you gave us all during your too-short life were cemented and amplified in the moment you were taken from this earth in a senseless act of violence. We all hope you approve of how we spend our days, what we choose to analyze and deconstruct, what we’re building, how we’re impacting humanity and how much joy we’re planting and nurturing into the world and into our own souls. . Feelin’ you today, bruv. Always.

MODEL FAM - PRINCE DEL One of the greatest faces to emerge from the Australian continent over the past several years is the chisled-featured, swag-drippy, cookasfuk brother Prince Del. After several years of eye-catching work in Sydney he burst onto the international scene in London, opening the “A-COLD-WALL” S/S 19 show and subsequently went on to storm Milan, Paris, Amsterdam and NYC. His no-fucks-given vibe perfectly merges with the iconography of Classic Street Culture in this shot from his portfolio. What’s doper than Prince Del topping a pale yellow 1979 Mercedes W126? . Prince is repped by Chadwick Models in Sydney (Mother Agency,) HEROES Model Management (New York) Rock Men (Paris) CREW Model Management (Milan) Next London (London) & Brooks Modeling (Amsterdam) @princesanity1 @chadwickmodels @nextmodelslondon @heroesmodels @rockmenmodel @crewmodelmanagement @brooksmodelingagency #TuTchT #TuTchTIMAGING #ThruTuTchTEyes #PrinceDel #Prince #TuTchTFav #TopMaleModelsofColor #TopAustralianModels #ChadwickModels #HeroesModelManagement #RockMenModels #CrewModelManagement #NextModels #BrooksModelManagement #TopMaleModels #StreetCulture #Mercedes #MercedesW126 #PrinceDelTuTchT #TuTchTYellow https://www.instagram.com/p/BybZ6CUFJ0X/?igshid=1icaqddgm85gq

HAPPY BORNDAY YAHROCK BATES #TB 👑Yah Yah👑 TuTchTjoints for fam’s BornDay Yah Yah has been one of my favs for years, from the day I first saw him at the very beginning of his journey many years ago, back when he was still based in South Carolina, before he was looming over Times Square, before he was signed to half a dozen agencies around the globe, before he became the face of countless top brands & top designers, the most recent of which are @ToddSnyderNY @Champion @Gap, among many others! His skills as a model are obvious and undeniable, but I also gotta point out that even as his following continues to rise above the 5-digit mark, this guy still takes time to stay in touch & respond to my often-random messages. In my experience, this kind of diligent interaction is rare among those with a following of this size. It’s among many of his rare qualities that make him such a gift to the planet. If you don’t already, follow this brother! This is going to be his biggest year yet. Watch. (By the way, I sometimes forget… how fkkin lit is the name “Yahrock” ?!!!!! Big ups to his parental lifegivers/namegivers on this important day!) @_Yah_Yah @crawfordmodels #TuTchT #TuTchTIMAGING #ThruTuTchTEyes #YahrockBates #TuTchTmuse #HappyBornDayYahYah #TopMaleModels #TopInternationalModels #TopMaleModelsofColor #RunwayKings #TuTchTFavs #TuTchTModelPortraits #YahYah https://www.instagram.com/p/BvaTda4FuBv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yhu15fslhnyk

OLIVER KUMBI Its nearly impossible to take your eyes off of nature’s most elegant angularity of design in it’s season of full bloom. Oliver Kumbi, the East African-rooted brother raised in Stockholm, Sweden, was coaxed from his singular focus on Basketball to give modeling a try in 2014. He has since blossomed into a fashion industry golden boy of the highest order. He is obviously in the right place at the right time… a kind of full-bloom, full-court press onto the minds of future generations. Thank you, brother, for planting your talents into soil you’ve chosen! A LOT will grow from this decision, trust! This amazing portrait was taken by Brooklyn-based photog David Urbanke last summer. Oliver’s Mother Agency is Nisch Management in Stockholm. He’s worldwide…mad worldwide, repped by agencies in: New York, Milan, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, and Montreal. @oliverkumbi @davidurbanke @nischmanagement @vnymodels #TuTchT #TuTchTIMAGING #ThruTuTchTEyes #OliverKumbi # #TuTchTFav #TopMaleModels #NischModelManagement #OneModelManagement #DavidUrbankePhotography #TopMaleModelsofColor #BlackMaleModels #TuTchTYELLOW https://www.instagram.com/p/BwnAEgnl6fC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r3aldih9r6r

THE GREAT AMERICAN KNEED - 2018 (TuTchT American Swag Series) Featuring Ronald Epps. (This is a detail excerpt, scroll back to see the full image.) When I decided to tackle the “take a knee” topic for this year’s “American Swag” joint I knew I wanted to capture the essence of the young black American Football player, not just at the NFL level, but also encompassing our brothers as young as Tamir Rice. I only had to think for a couple seconds before deciding that one of my longtime TuTchTfavs, Ronald Epps, with his athleticism, affability and massive appeal would be perfect collaborator. Once I looked deeper I realized he’s been a longtime BLM supporter and felt very strongly about Kaepernick’s protests and everything that’s happened since. I’ve followed and supported his career from his days as an unknown standout to an Industry mainstay. Remaining as one of Wilhelmina’s top models since his 2013 signing, he reps some of the biggest names in High Fashion and popular Commercial Brands and he’s shown up on countless “sexiest men” lists through the years. But for me, its been watching him as a young father that ups my respect and admiration level in my book. I love this guy. THANK YOU, Brother, for sharing part of yourself with the world! @therealronaldepps @Wilhelminamodels @TuTchTig #LoJoWerkz #LoJoWerkzDailyDope #DAILYDOPE #TuTchT #TuTchTAmericanSwag #TheGreatAmericanKneed #RonaldEpps #TakeaKnee #NFL #BlackLivesMatter #Kaepernick #TopMaleModels #TopModelsofColor #ModelAthletes #TuTchTModelPortraits #AmericanSwag #IndependenceDayTraditions

THE GREAT AMERICAN KNEED - 2018 (TuTchT American Swag Series) Featuring Ronald Epps. There is a LOT I could say about this piece, the NFL “take a knee” protests and the brilliance of model Ronald Epps (which I will do in the 2 following posts.) But for now I’ll let the TuTchTness speak for itself. This is the tenth year and 24th piece in the series…and the importance of this July 4th tradition for me is growing stronger each year. @therealronaldepps @TuTchTig #LoJoWerkz #LoJoWerkzDailyDope #DAILYDOPE #TuTchT #TuTchTAmericanSwag #TheGreatAmericanKneed #RonaldEpps #TakeaKnee #NFL #BlackLivesMatter #Kaepernick #TopMaleModels #TopModelsofColor #ModelAthletes #TuTchTModelPortraits #AmericanSwag #IndependenceDayTraditions
