Ford Models Fashion

Last week the Ford Models Blog was in hot pursuit of LOVE Issue 4 and on that rainy Wednesday morning when our newsagent Ali finally had his second order (the first sold out 36 hours earlier) we noticed a new magazine neither we nor Ali had previously ever seen, Essential Homme. The bimonthly magazine for young men immediately caught our eye because it featured Ford Men’s Francisco Lachowski on the cover photographed by Algis Puidokas and styled by Terry Lu. Turns out Puidokas is not only the photographer for the cover story, but is also the magazine’s publisher and one with quite an eye. There’s touch of Tiger Beat about the predominately denim editorial titled “Lachowski Exposed,” but that is not to take away anything from an otherwise inspired use of a sunlit hotel room and a shirtless 6’2″ (188 cm) Brazilian. Jeans by Levi’s, DKNY, Jean Paul Gaultier Monsieur, Simon Spurr, Diesel, and Balmain Homme might well appear an afterthought, but it’s doubtless that any of these labels would complain seeing them worn by Francisco.
