Many
call Oraine the next Tyson Beckford Everytime someone says that we at
HeModel.com grind our teeth. Beckford was a very unique moment where a
visionary agent, a smart client and a multi-cultural zeitgest brewed a
perfect booking storm.But looking at the slow build of Oraine Barrett's
bookings over the past three years, TI senses a pattern building for
this Jamaican school boy athlethe-turned-model. From
|
Abercrombie and Fitch to amazing edits in Arena Homme + and September's
Vogue Italia with Meisel, this young model is evolving very
audaciously. It's only instinct but our model sixth sense is signalling
an upcoming breaktrough moment for this male mannequin.
Look for tremendous things from oraine. Just this month he is featured
in vouge alongside some of the hottest male and female models of the
day.The
first four pages of the August/September fashion issue of Giant are
full page adverts for Phat Premium, the new executive brand from Phat
Farm. The new fall campaign features dark and lovely Rod 2.0 fave
Oraine Barrett, the Jamaican-born model who is storming the runways for
Ralph Lauren and seen everywhere from Flaunt to the cover of OUT.
What
caught our eye is the fact that Oraine's Barrett's distinctive facial
scar was not retouched. This is often the case in most of his major
print campaigns—such as when the model made the cover of OUT's summer
double issue. (He was also retouched for VIBE twice in the last year.)
Oraine Barrett was featured in the June FLAUNT and the editors decided
not to airbrush the scar. Speaking for me personally, it is very
refreshing to observe some honesty in the fantasy-driven fashion
industry. Oraine is a beautiful man. A modeling agent and a
photographer have shared the story behind the scar and it's very
touching.
