Les Hommes: Yuri Pleskun

We all love models. However we even try we can't ignore that we love them. I know I can't anyway. Their ability of posing a feeling is what we admire. How their facial expression can change a picture completely. How they can both destroy a whole campaign as well as save it from the ruins. It's certainly a tough business, but it's also a necessary one within the fashion-industry. What I am to do with this segment Les Hommes/Les Femmes is thereby to present hard-workers within the modeling business, people whom deserve all the praise they can get, for they're professionals within their area of expertise.

Today I'll start with a young homme who has hit the modeling business with storm. Ranked as the ninth best male model in he world, I present to you; Yuri Pleskun.

Yuri Pleskun is as said the ninth best model in the world at the moment, ranked by Models.com. This 21 years old fellow was born in Russi [or what was back then the Sovjet] on the 14th of May 1990. he's 188 centimeters/6 feet & 2 inches tall & has thereby been booked by most of the big fashion houses. A few of his clients are Lanvin, Alexander McQueen, Calvin Klein, Teen Vogue, i-D Magazine etc. etc.. The list can go on for another few paragraphs.

Yuri is signed with 5 different agencies around the globe, in Berlin it's VIVA Berlin, in Copenhagen it's Scoop, in London it's Elite London, in Milan it's I LOVE, in New York it's Request NY & lastly it's Bananas in Paris. Only by his list of agencies one can notice he's allured by everyone.

Yuri for Seventh Magazine by Dan Smith

With his many tattoos Yuri is one of the rebels of the fashion world. He doesn't have the typical model look & by showing that you don't have to look a certain way to become successful in the business makes him quite a role-model for aspiring models. But maybe that's also what's so alluring about him, that he's different. However it is he certainly knows how to pose with both his face & body. Because of that he's been booked for simple portraits by photographer Damon Baker, thereby he can be seen both in fashion & in arts.

Ending off with a small interview with Yuri by Interview Magazine. Referring to his answers the thought about him as the rebel within fashion only grows stronger. He's not the average model, he's special & unique within these business.

How about you? What's your opinion about Yuri Pleskun & his career within modeling? & how did you like this segment?
