Name:
Guy Clark Patrick

New York Model Management (New York)

Age:
16

Height:
6’1″

Place of Origin:
New Albany (Columbus), Ohio, USA

Ethnic Origin:
Mostly Scottish, a little English, and a bit of Native American.

Birthsign:

How discovered:
My sister’s best friend, Megan Puleri, is a model and she encouraged me to meet Lydia Brock (stylist) and Kimberly Capriotti (photographer)…two wonderful people who invested their time and energy into getting me discovered and connected to New York Models.

Favorite things:
Friends, family, skateboarding, my camera and video equipment.

Favorite music, band:
If it sounds good, then I like it. I listen to a wide variety of music. I recently developed a taste for old school rock. In the morning, when I am getting ready for school, I like to listen to “Paint it Black” by The Rolling Stones.

Favorite movie, tv show:
I enjoy filming and editing short action videos, so I spend more of my time on YouTube than in front of the TV. I grew up watching the movies Sahara, iRobot, and Lords of Dogtown with my family. I still enjoy them after seeing them countless times.

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:
Conditioner to tame my “fro”.

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
Skateboarding is my first love. Since I was twelve years old, I have been sponsored by some great companies (currently riding for Bustin Boards). Not only has this experience taught me how to perform and compete, but I have also learned a great deal about how to positively support a brand.

Favorite modeling experience so far?
My first photo shoot ended up published by the online magazine Fantastics. That was very exciting and really convinced me that I wanted to pursue modeling. I got to wear clothes by Nicola Formichetti and it was cool to get positive comments from him.

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
My hometown is small and pretty rural. It is a perfect environment for me and my crazy friends. We usually spend all of our free time outside skating and just having a good time.

Which brand would you really love to model for?
I am new to the fashion world, so all brands are exciting. I am looking forward to working with Christophe Sanchez-Vahle at New York Models to find the right opportunities for me.

Place you would love to visit:
After traveling to Spain with my Dad when I was younger, I have always wanted to go back. I loved the architecture and culture in Barcelona and Madrid.

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
Working with a terrific team of people to create opportunities for everyone to succeed. I have a craving to travel to different countries. If I could experience new places, while helping to build a brand, that would be terrific.
