Introducing Sergio Carvajal

(re-post from 3.11.2012)                    

Meet Sergio. A 18 year old boy from Barcelona, Spain.  He maybe just 18 but he for sure knows how to define fashion in his own way, generally seen in simple T-shirts and jeans. Talk about pulling a look off..............our boy knows it all.

Its funny how sometimes life can change in just split seconds. Sergio was discovered while he was walking on Plaza de Catalunya ( a large square in the center of Barcelona that is generally considered to be it's city center).  In January 2012 Sergio signed for Sight Management Studio. Ever since then  he has worked in editorials with XEVI MUNTANE (New York: DE FACTO). He was also the cover boy of EY! magazine (Electric Youth Magazine).

With his well defined body, stunning hairstyle, jaw dropping looks, and breath taking aura Sergio has made quite a market for himself.
Unlike other models he is not a regular tweeter (started tweeting approximately three and a half months ago) but still with his first 4 tweets he had more than 70 people following him and reaching 1000 likes on Facebook fan page. He has also been featured in Carbon Copy Magazine and Fiasco Magazine. Recently he has been working with Swarovski. 

This Spanish boy for sure will turn out to be an inspiration to a lot of youth out there aspiring to becoming models and why wouldn't he be?  He's got all the reasons to and from where I see it, He is not very far from being the cover boy of Vogue magazine. 
Way to go guapo!!!! 

Introducing David Franco

Meet David. A simple Spanish boy from Bilbao now living in Madrid. Who knew that he would look so good in front of the camera?

I happened to meet him while walking on the streets of Chueca, Madrid. It was a total coincidence.
As we sat to have our first drink I found out that David is actually a model and hey what do you know?  He models for Park Avenue and Ray ban. Quite a catch for a fashion blogger like me ha? 

At first it was little difficult for me to have a conversation with him because of the language difference but then I tried throwing in my bad Spanish and some broken French to find out what I actually wanted to.
Wishing I had an interpreter and abusing myself for not asking any of my Spanish friends to come along with me, I started firing questions at him--

DAVID:
I am not too much into fashion. I like to keep it simple. I just want to look good and presentable, not for others but for my own self because it gives me confidence. I never planned to become a model but it just happened. I started as a freelance model and I still am, I don't want to make it my mainstream profession because I have my own business to take care of. I own a pub/club in Chueca and that's what I love doing. I like to see people have a good time in my pub. I also like to dance. I am a gogo dancer too and if you come to my pub on a New Year's eve this year then you probably would see me dance crazy on GAYNGAM STYLE.

(How do you keep so fit? Whats the secret behind your amazing built?)

DAVID:
I work out. I am in a profession where I need to be fit. I am saying this not because I need to pose in front of the camera but because I need to look presentable for my business and also because I  gogo dance (wink wink). I run almost everyday, I swim and I watch my portions and calories and even though I have a pub to run, I try not to drink.

(Who do you generally wear? any style secrets?)

DAVID:
I wear whatever I feel comfortable in. No specific designers. I wear designer clothes only when I walk on the runway. I am very comfortable with my body and I like to wear clothes which fits me well like rite now this vest that I am wearing is what I bought from a store on the streets. 

(Do you also like to travel? Have you ever been to India?)

DAVID:
Well I like to travel. I have traveled around Europe quite a bit and no I have never been to India but I would love to go there. I love Indian food. I like to eat curry. It's spicy and delicious. I sometimes go to Indian restaurants in Madrid to have nice food.

and with that I ended my very unplanned interview session with David. I invited him over for dinner the next day and cooked Indian. Spicy he said and he got a little taste of original CURRY.

"Flaunt the right thing"

I was on my way from Milan to Rome. After seeing the luxurious city of Milan I was all excited to see ROMA as the Italians call it. The train journey was more than just comfortable, so comfortable that I forgot to take my almost brand new pair of Zara boots while leaving.I had kept it on the rack above my seat, by the time I realized that I had one less bag to carry it was too late. 
So, the next thing I did was dump my bags in the hotel room and go out on the streets to look for the perfect shoes to match my outfit. 

I was in leather and brown mood. It would go perfectly with my black Zara shirt and blue Diesel pants. As I was walking past the street right behind the Vatican, something bright caught my eyes. It was a bright light blue pair of shoes made of thin denim. I could not take my eyes off those shoes even though they looked like any other loafers. Anyway, I finally bought those puppies and I guess it did justice to my "one day keep the look right tour in ROMA".

Just the way I like to trave

It seemed like a perfect day to me, the sun was shining bright as I looked outside the window of my room. I was hoping and praying for a warm weather since I had to catch my train to Paris again.

Well when it comes to traveling, I have always struggled in deciding my outfits. "Style and Comfort" do not always go hand in hand. 

Inspired by Coco Chanel who once said "Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance." I decided to keep it simple (its a different thing that I had no other choice than to keep it simple -wink wink). So I wore my Madonna shirt with a black denim pants.

To protect myself from that little bit of existing cold breeze I wore a henna green thin sweater and completed the look with my black fitted cap and my all time favorite converse shoes which you cant see because it was a mismatch.

Matching with the blue sky

Strolling around in Zurich 

It was a Thursday morning when I looked outside the window and it was yet another day to discover more of Switzerland. There was no mist and the sun was shining bright with a clear blue sky. Being a light traveler I did not have much to choose from.So I looked in my suitcase and wondered for a while......

and since I find it a little bit hard to compromise when it comes to clothing, I decided to go out simple and casual and I had just the perfect outfit to match the weather. I had a long day ahead of me and nothing could have given me more comfort/confidence other than my dark elephant grey jeans, a blue hoodie to match the perfectly blue sky and one of my favorite puma shoes.

Keep it cool this fall

While the air was still nippy in France I decided to go formal with one of my favorite color combinations (Black and White).

I managed to catch the eyes of quite a few fashion lovers as I walked on the street of Paris with my Zara shirt and coat, white fitted pants from H&M, a Bow tie which I bought from a local costume shop of Paris, barely costed me 4 euros, which happened to go well with my outfit and a formal black belt and shoes from Zara to complete the look.
