TREAT Check the previous post for the “why” of this joint… and explanation of where I’ve been… and a glimpse of supernatural TuTchT Halloween conjuring Bwaaaahaha. This is the hooded visage of TuTchTmuse extraordinaire, NYC-based top international model Valentine Rontez (IMG) currently lending his powerful visual influence to the designers, creatives, lenses, runways & countless sets of eyes in Milan. @x.valentine @TuTchTIG #TuTchT #TuTchTIMAGING #ThruTuTchTEyes #Halloween #ValentineRontez #TuTchTTreat #CandyCorn #HalloweenNostalgia #IndustryStalwarts #Valentineisback #TutchTmuse #ValentineTuTchT https://www.instagram.com/p/CVs9Ib0PJmx/?utm_medium=tumblr

TuTchT BLUE WAVE - SACHA M’BAYE This stalwart, record-breaking model has been astounding the Industry for nearly a decade! This French-National Senegalese Londoner is an icon of internationality at the same time he exudes a boy-next-door familiarity. Its amazing how his suave, sophisticated look can shift to a hard-edged, in-your-face competitive athleticism with a mere shift of his eyebrows (unleashing the footballer blood that pumps through his veins;) and when his award-winning smile appears on his face … sit back and watch as he becomes immediately magnetic with that indefinable “huggable” likability that keeps the cameras, clients and fans flocking to him. This multi-faceted versatility has brought him gigs from Calvin Klein, his first runway show, to GAP, to the most venerated brands in fashion like Armani, Burberry and Dolce & Gabbana. He’s both a runway king and a print & commercial model of the highest order, gracing the pages of GQ on a regular basis. He also holds the distinction of being the first Black male to land on the cover of ELLE magazine. (He also has a admirable humility and self-awareness that makes him uncomfortable each time I shout about his gifts and skills like this. Sorry bruv. :-) ——— This TuTchT joint is designed from a great shot by Amin Musa and Jason Moore. Sacha is repped in London by @selectmodelmgmt, in Paris by @newmadisonmodels, Barcelona by @trafficmodels, in LA by @twomanagement and in NYC by @fordmodels ———- Disclaimer - This weekend’s “Blue Wave” theme does not reflect any political views of the models pictured or the associated brands.

NATIVITYISH - THRU TUTCHT EYES … and there appeared before my eyes a bright, shining star heralding the joyous birth of boy child. And the glory of the Lord shone round about the child and his parents, and there followed the flashing of lights; and the host of angels sang. @septumpapi @tommyhilfiger #TuTchT #TuTchTIMAGING #ThruTuTchTEyes #AdonisBosso #Septumpapi #TommyHilfiger #IndustryStalwarts #TuTchTFav #GroundbreakingMaleModels #TopMaleModelsofColor #MaleSuperModels #RunwayKings #PlaidChristmasTux #PopsProps #NewFathers #MerryTuTchTmas https://www.instagram.com/p/Br3gHhbFLxH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q5oa19rrssj4

HELLO. FASHION WEEK. Yup. Its that time of year. While I’m waiting and watching for those unique behind-the-scenes candid shots I love to share, here’s a frame from a recent Bonobos campaign shot by Billy Kidd featuring my favorite Royal Family of Fashion, the venerable misters Armando and Fernando Cabral. The former is a veteran top-model of the industry steady killin it after a dozen years in the game and entrepreneur/designer of high-end fashion footwear; and the latter, younger brother Fernando, a chart-topping, list-making, eye-popping jaw-dropping elegantly stealthy BEAST who has dominated the runways and editorial pages of the planet for nearly a decade. Ask ANYONE in the Industry… these go-to brothers personify “class” wherever they go. @fernandocabral07 @iamarmandocabral @armando_cabral @billykiddstudio @bonobos #TuTchT #TuTchTImaging #ThruTuTchTEyes #ArmandoCabral #FernandoCabral #TheCabralBrothers #FirstFamilyofFashion #IndustryStalwarts #TopMaleModels #TopMaleModelsofColor #TuTchTFavs #Bonobos #brothersofclass #NewYorkFashionWeek #NYFW https://www.instagram.com/p/Bne7RbwDuWj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=not6u7txxpew

COCOA & COFFEE - ARMANDO CABRAL Model/Footwear Designer Armando Cabral’s shoes are hand crafted by expert artisans in Italy, each pair a true confection. Many of the latest entries in the line are richly earth-toned like these Chocolatey Broome low top sneakers. The elder Mr. Cabral, of the venerated Cabral brothers of the fashion industry, got his foothold in the industry over a decade ago and quickly became one of the most in-demand models of color (which he remains to this day.) The warm, easy-going, ultra-classy vibe of this Portugal-rooted brother emerged in another form when he started his Footwear business. My personal respect level for Armando tops the chart, as it does with the entire industry. Want to see some of his modeling work? Just google his name for about a million chances. ———- (If you like my posts, do me a favor in honor of MLK DAYS of SERVICE… visit my favorite charity 734coffee.com and donate or order some coffee.

NATIVITYISH - THRU TUTCHT EYES I was kinda ridiculously busy during the holidays but I still collected some holiday-themed images I wanted to share. On my holiday journey through the social cyberlands I saw THREE WISE MEN from the East Coast whose craftsmanship and creativity was surpassed only by a heavenly insight and wisdom. 💥💥💥 @Epperson #TuTchT #TuTchTIMAGING #ThruTuTchTEyes #Epperson #IndustryStalwarts #TopNYCDesigners #CelebratedDesigners #TuTchTFam #Nativityish #MerryTuTchTmas https://www.instagram.com/p/Br3fHShlzQf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t6u4o5shpzva

Congrats, Ups and Parabéns to TuTchTFav Fernando Cabral for winning GQ Man of the Year 2016 (Portugal)! Fernando and older brother Armando Cabral are two of the most striking, dominate (and classiest) brothers in the Fashion Industry! Much love and massive respect for these guys! (This shot is from Fernando's work with BARNEYS's FW16 line. One of MANY recent gigs and appearances.) Congratulations Fernando on another high profile recognition of your invaluable contributions.

Another S/O to TuTchTFam Salieu Jalloh for his Polo Campaign! @saliejalloh22 @Ralphlauren @Imgmodels #TuTchT #TuTchTImaging #ThruTuTchTEyes #SalieuJalloh #RalphLauren #Polo #MaleSupermodels #TuTchTmuse #Levis #Sgod #IMGmodels #TopMaleModelsofColor #IndustryStalwarts

Aite, let's be real.... How many male models of color land a major campaign like Ralph Lauren after a decade in the business? There are only a few with the gifts and skills to maintain that kind of longevity. Add to the equation that male medals of color make up only 3% of the industry and the feat is even more impressive! Oh, and he also happens to be the current face of Levis denim as well. Yeah..like that. Biggest of ups to TuTchTmuse Salieu Jalloh! Proud to say I've been Team Sal from day one.
