   Striking face. Edgy and artistic features. He’s memorable, has good skin and no mess of tattoos. I would call him for a casting.

   Great original look. His nose and eyes especially. Still so young and I think he will develop nicely.

   I love this look – it really stands out among the more predictable faces this season. And he’s bright and interesting too. What a package!

   I had the pleasure to run three shows during the FW Paris Fashion Week 2013/2014 with Elijah. He’s an amazing guy to be around, very positive and energetic. He will go far!
