Man Candy Day: Ad Men
When a model bonds his face to a product, sometime he "loses" his name; meaning that, people are well aware of his face, but they linked it to the product more than to the real man behind the advertisment. The three models I chose for today are like that, probably common people are well aware of their faces but their name are not so known.
Lars Burmeister (Hamburg, April 26, 1981) is a German model. Born in Hamburg in 1981, Lars Burmeister worked as a mechanic until 2004, when he signed with Ford Models. In September of the same year he debuted on the NY catwalks for Perry Ellis and posing for a catalog for Louis Vuitton. The following year he was chosen as the face of Hugo Boss (contract renewed in 2006), and for Milan catwalks for Dolce & Gabbana and Versace, and subsequently for Giorgio Armani, Valentino and Y-3.

In his blog JDVision, JD Ferguson posts an interview with Simon in which he explains his obsession with the model: "My obsession with you is more from a professional standpoint, really. It's more about the perfection of your face, which I know must seem incredibly shallow, but for me (and countless others) your beauty is somewhat classic and a bit iconic." To this Simon replied, "At least it's a healthy obsession."
