Vogue Hommes International‘s “Supermodel” story has the premier male supermodel of today, Mark Vanderloo in the opening shot of the Hedi Slimane lensed shoot. This, combined with his current DKNY fragrance campaign, DKNYMen only cements Mr. Vanderloo’s iconic status. His March 6th appearance (see pics here) was such a smashing success, DKNY is bringing him back for another personal appearance, this time at the DKNY store, on Saturday April 4th. If you couldn’t go the first time, now’s your chance to meet the charming legend in person.

Hedi Slimane uncovers the souls of his subjects, capturing something raw and unpolished in every picture he takes. For Vogue Hommes International Slimane pays tribute to male modeling icons Mark Vanderloo, Werner Schreyer, Larry Scott, Andree Van Noord & Greg Hansen with a special stripped down portfolio of classic Slimane black and whites. There is nothing childish about these seasoned industry veterans, they’re men through and through and their pictures all but crackle with masculinity and poise.
