10 YEARS
AMCK MODELS TURNS 10 We started with an idea of family. A family of boys that would look after each other and we would take care of as our own family. Creating the ‘AMCK Band of Brothers’ was our goal. Integrity and diversity were the key ingredients in our growth and unique appeal. We led with our hearts, and it’s become a fundamental way in how we practice. We have had many “firsts” over the past 10 years: The first black male model to ever walk the runway for Burberry. The first albino male model to front a worldwide fragrance campaign. The first red-headed male model to be featured on the cover of L’Uomo Vogue. We presented clients with choices and options that allowed them to expand their casting ideas, playing a vital part in pushing the boundaries of what was seen as the ‘normal’ beauty standards in the industry. To continue our tradition of having a bespoke shoot for the show packs each season, we decided to mark our 10th-anniversary with a special trip to the Tropea, Paolo’s hometown in the South of Italy. We travelled with the models and team, including photographer Adam Fussell and stylist Graham Cruz, for an incredible two days. The whole village helped us achieve what is within the pages of this book. Thank you to everyone; models, clients, friends and families, for your unconditional support over the last decade. We really wouldn’t be here without you.
Love from Aicha and Paolo 2008-2018
