Big In Japan // Elle Belgium Magazine August 2010 (0 comments)

Saturday, July 31, 2010 posted by , under

Cesar writes his 3rd column for Elle Belgium in the August 2010 issue. I translated a few lines as the column is in Dutch.



"When they offered me to work as a model in Tokyo for 45 days, I was pretty excited."

"Everybody here is extremely friendly. Yesterday I did a shoot for a Japanese magazine and the people on the set treated me like I was some big Popstar. Constantly asking me if I'm okay, protecting me from the bright sun with an umbrella, waving with a hand-held fan to keep me cool and they stayed by my side with a cool glass of water. It was like a tennismatch."

"I walk into a restaurant and seat myself at the table. Before I knew it, a little lady approaches me. She asks me what I would like to eat in Japanese. For two minutes long I was trying to explain with hand gestures that I wanted a mix of sushi and sashimi. The only understandable thing that Japanese people could say to me is: "You model? Picture?", and then: flash! Before I know it, I'm standing there as a tall person next to a little guy on the picture."

"When I arrived here, I wondered: why do I hardly or basically never see any large(fat) Japanese people? Living in NYC made me being used to seeing a street full of large people. But here in Tokyo, I haven't even been able to spot one. Everybody here looks slim and healthy."

"The Japanese people are so into the fashion that it almost looks like some kind of disease. I got the feeling that the Japanese are way ahead of us fashionwise."

Video Polaroid Project of Thomas Hoefnagels by Dennison Bertram (0 comments)

Friday, July 30, 2010 posted by , under ,

Dennison Bertram shot Thomas Hoefnagels for his Video Polaroid Project.

“The idea behind the project was to create a new dimension to the idea of the ‘polaroid’. Of course, many of the agencies don’t actually use polaroids anymore and somehow the digital ’snaps’ don’t really quite capture the personality of the models in the same way. The models are filmed just being natural, how they are. There is minimal styling, normally just a body suit, leggings or whatever the model is wearing if they have something cool. There is almost never any makeup or other styling, so it’s all really true to the model themselves – their personality. It’s not a regular ‘model video’ where the girls walk around, say their name, talk about their agency. It’s really like a short film just about them. ” – Dennison Bertram
