In the Spring/Summer issue of Arena Homme +, Willy Vanderperre takes his camera and focuses it in on Ricardo Tisci’s latest model favorites, Manuel Ramos and Eduardo Calero.

The editorial features these stunning models who were plucked from obscurity and placed under Tisci’s wing at Givenchy. The models look flawless styled in a mix of pieces from Givenchy Spring 2010 and Fall 2010 by Panos Yiapanis. The spread features one of my all-time favorite Givenchy accessories, the thorn necklace, so I applaud Panos on a job well done.

The interview, by Arena Homme + E-I-C Jo-Ann Furniss, highlights how Tisci attained the role of creative director when he was just 30 (five years ago), and received the job of menswear designer in 2008 and has become a completely successful menswear designer in just 4 collections. It also states why Ricardo is interested in casting the models himself, he says ‘…I still spend a lot of time doing this – because the boys that I wanted had been excluded from the industry. Now it’s beginning to change.’

At the moment, Ricardo is most interested the mixture of reality mixed with Neo-Classical, and we just love to see him run wild with it.
