Model Watch Monday: Hungarian Hunk Sven Csongar

Starting our week off, we've got Hungary-born model Sven Csongar. Scouted by Wam Models in Budapest on his way home from water polo practice, this one is a sure find! Already testing with many agency-favorite photographers in Hungary, his book makes him ready for the international markets. His dream job is to shoot for Abercrombie, and we're pretty sure that dream is going to come true in the near future; with his athletic body and all-American looks, he'd seem like the perfect fit. However, this one can definitely morph into other brands, as well, like Gucci and Versace.

It's that boyish pout and strong build that's going to take him far. Soul, let us know when he's in town — we're hoping New York City is on his itinerary, and we'll be waiting.

Currently represented by:

Mother Agency: Wam Models
New York: Soul Artist Management
Milan: I Love Models Management
Vienna: Tempo Model Management
Copenhagen: Elite
Barcelona: View Management

Model Watch Monday: Latvian Born Gints Linbergs

Making his move on the male modeling scene is Gints Linberg, hailing from Latvia. Gints was scouted while working at a retail store in Amsterdam. He's got everything that a successful male model needs to make it across the varied ranges of each market. He's got intense brown eyes, defined jawline, a wide mouth and a brow that only intensifies his already smoldering look. He doesn't have those boyish looks; he's got the looks to take on the men’s realm. This is what we call lasting power and depth. This is what's needed to hold strong in the modeling industry, to sustain that long career, and he's got it!

Gints is currently signed with A Men Amsterdam and Slight Management Barcelona.

Model Watch Monday: New York Native Zach Durham

Newly scouted native, Zach Durham of Fulton, NY is creating some buzz in the industry. Snatched up his senior year of high school and immediately signed with Ford NY he's ready to take over the runways this coming seasons. With his classic vintage male model looks he's bringing back the "old school" modeling. With his contrasting blue eyes and brown hair you cannot help but develop a slight stare.

Standing 6'1.5 Zach keeps his body in check by playing sports- soccer, lacrosse and basketball. His striking bone structures comes from his roots, he is Native American and Latin. Look for Zach this fashion week, he's sure to walk several shows.

Model Watch Monday: Freddie from Edinburgh

Scotland born Freddie Rayner was scouted while waiting for the bus in his school uniform getup. Without thought he was immediately signed by Annalease at Stolen Models. Insane chizzled bone structure, striking green eyes along with his perfectly placed beauty mark and flawless skin there is no wonder why he was snatched up with a quickness. Recently picked up by Nevs in London, Freddie will make his debut on the international market, first starting with the Spanish shows. After that HELLO London, Paris, and I'm sure New York.

Model Watch Monday: Italian Stallion Francesco Brunetti

Francesco hails from Italy but definitely captures that "All America" look. Okay, so maybe the Varsity jacket is helping a bit.

There is this aura about him that screams Giorgio Armani, Emporio Armani, perhaps even Calvin Klein. This might be why he spent a successful show season in Milan walking for Armani and Ermanno Scervino.  So, with that said, I see some editorials happening in the near future for this stunner.  Perhaps a fragrance campaign [for one of the above said designers] in the near future, remember I said that!  After all Francesco's sex appeal meter is at an all time high, there is no doubt this boy is smoking and ready to work. Be sure to keep Francesco on your radar, we are!

Francesco is currently only signed with FASHION in Milan. I wonder what NYC agency is going to snatch him up.

Model Watch Monday: Norwegian Newbie

Say hello to Simen Sandbæk who comes to us from beautiful Norway. His girlfriend actually happened to take him into Team Models in Oslo, and that was it, Simen was signed. His look is pretty solid, typical Norwegian look with the bond hair and blue eyes, but his chiseled features set him apart from the rest. His body is perfect for high fashion, his hobby of tennis has definitely done his body well. I'd say there is a lot to come from this Norwegian, so I'll keep him on the radar.

Model Watch Monday: Rory Torrens gets close and personal with CHAOS

British Male Model Rory Torrens hangs with CHAOS Magazine, literally. Rory shot with photographer Gavin Thomas for the summer Model Watch, out this July. We thought we'd give you a little sneak peek into our model watch for the next issue. We feel Rory definitely needs to be on your radar.

Rory arrived to the CHAOS shoot with energy and really delivered with a ton of personality and a very fun vibe, something we definitely like! Quite the jokester and not afraid to get silly, crazy, and wild in front of the camera; we could have shot him for days!

Rory is signed with Major Model Management in NYC, M and P Models in London, and Success Models in Paris. We definitely think this one has a bright future. After all, he's already had his face plastered all over Topman.

Check out Rory's profile and get to know him a little better this summer when we release the summer issue, July 2010.

Until then, cheers mate! ;)

Model Monday: Adel Captivates

One look and you can't help but stare. Adel, born in Dubai has edge that is noticeable straight away. Adel's light brown hair, stunning green eyes, standing 6'0 and 22 years old, he's ready to take on the fashion industry. Already living in Paris, he's good to go! Now don't take this one for a "dummy" he is currently studying Bio Engineering in Paris. Who said models were all looks and no brains? Adel has the beauty and the brains, now who wouldn't want to snatch that up? He does seem to be quite the globe trotter seeing is he was discovered in [none other than our own backyard] NYC at "The Box" and was instantly signed by Premier Model Management. That just goes to show you, you never know who is watching. That creep in the corner staring, could actually be your big break!

Male Model Ambrose Olson: Devastating news as we hear of his passing

Heart breaking news of 24 year old male model Ambrose Olson's passing earlier this week has cast a dark cloud over the fashion and modeling industry this morning.

Ambrose was an American model born in 1985, in Homer, Alaska. Recognize for his great skin and full lips, standing 5'10 he managed to score numerous huge campaings in his quick rise to stardom. Working for names such as Hugo Boss, Burberry, YSL, D&G, Dior Homme, Nautica, Armani, Louis Vuitton among others. His muscular build and strong boyish features gave him amazing runway appeal placing him along all stars of the male modeling world.

Never planning on being a model, modeling found Ambrose and blessed him with a great career. Mostly doing print ad's for previously mentioned designers, he also appeared in several runway shows as well as videos.

From all of us here at CHAOS Magazine our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. We truly hope that Ambrose has found the peace he was searching for, RIP.

Please stop emailing us asking how Ambrose died, try and respect that it's a private matter.

Model Monday: Egor Zakiryaev, boom boom pow!

Many beautiful things come from Russia, great vodka and beautiful men! I'd say that's enough to love that country, wouldn't you? The strong features, statuesque physiques, the strong attitude who wouldn't love a Russian boy?

I'm pleased to open your eyes to this beau, Egor Zakiryaev, hailing from St. Petersburg Russia. Love his persona in his images, the whole "nonchalant" vibe works for this one. He is definitely mature beyond his years, careful though ladies, he's only 16! Yes, SIXTEEN, shocking isn't it?

Standing 6'1, black hair and brown eyes he was discovered while tagging along to a friends casting. Egor caught someones eye and was signed to Select Deluxe Model Management in Russia and has already been swooped up by VNY Model Management in NYC. Nice work Egor, hope we'll be seeing you soon over here on this side of the pond.

Until next week, kisses!

Bonjour mon amour: Meet Gaspard

Oh la la ...how is this for some Monday eye candy? Say hello to this lovely French lad, Gaspard Menier, hailing from Châtellerault, France. Standing at 6'2 with shaggy brown hair and piercing baby blues this guy has heartbreak written all over him. Oh, but there is more coming from this beau, Gaspard is also a musician. Top that off with his Über sweet accent and I think CHAOS has found a new love with this Frenchman! This is definitely one to watch so keep your eyes peeled, mine are. ;)

Gaspard is signed with Angels & Demons

If you have some new faces you'd like to share please send them my way, perhaps we'll blog it!

CHAOS shoots Gabe Witmer

Today we are shooting Gabe Witmer of Ford Models for the Winter Issue. Gabe hails from the beachy town of Santa Cruz, Northern California's surfer cove. This Cali boy has plenty of personality and a laid back spirit that is strongly seen through his images. Recently, a fan favorite at Levis, Gabe is the '514 Skinny jeans' fit model. Those sexy jeans we love seeing on all the boys are made off of this surfers bod, and from looking at that photo to the left, I can see why.

Look for Gabe's editorial in this coming PRINT issue of CHAOS, Winter 09/10.

Until next time, kisses. -B

CHAOS loves Bryce

Meet Bryce Durfee, 6'0 blonde hair blue eyed sweetheart who hails from North Carolina. Represented by B1 in NYC and Vision in LA. Bryce's new face status lasted just a split second as he quickly blew up in a matter of weeks in NYC. Campaigns for Abercrombie and Fitch, Marc Echo as well as various editorials.

I've had the pleasure working with Bryce on several occasions. Very driven, focused and tons of fun. Even though he might say he hates modeling. Damn those ones who just "have it" but hate it... yea uh huh, more like a love hate! ;) Bryce definitely has got a bright future in the modeling industry. Even though he took a semester off to go to school, the industry just can't get enough of this one. Now in LA for the summer, I'm sure we'll be seeing lots of Bryce in the coming months.

Lucky you for being a CHAOS reader you'll be seeing Bryce in the up coming Fall issue of CHAOS along side Gabe Witmer @ Ford and Tyler Wood @ City coming out September 1st. Trust me you won't want to miss this editorial, all we can say about it is ... boys will be boys! Oooohh!!!
