MOVEMBER DUDES

Photographer Angela Leonidou proposes a different idea for this year’s project MOVEMBER.

The Cypriot photographer has presented an amazing project with her ‘‘Moustache Girls’’, even though she decided to take it back to the traditional men’s moustache this year. She chose some of the most popular DJs in Cyprus for some fun time in her studio and here it is the beautiful result:

The donations go towards funding support for men’s health - specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer and suicide prevention.

‘‘The first I did was for the main world Movember people and last year I did it trying to raise funds for the Cypriot organization, and same this year.

All started as pillow talk with my good friend Sonia who is helping me with all the idea and projects these 3 years’’ Angela stated.

Christos Katsavochristos x REY

Christos Katsavochristos from VN Models has been one of our favourites from day one,

The last three years, we have seen his career growing and him being the main face of big campaigns in Europe and the world.

REY: Finally we meet again!

Christos: Hello again! Thank you for having me Xx

When did you start modelling?

Well, it was about 7 years ago! At the beginning of my career I wasn’t really focused on that. It took me around a year to start seeing things more professionally!

Who was the first person to offer you job? 

The owner of an agency approached me in a pool party in Mykonos and proposed to me to be represented by him in the model industry. I took the chance of course and a year after I signed with a bigger agency.

Have you always wanted to be a model? 

It was on my mind cause some people used to tell me about it but I wasn’t  sure that I want to do it. I used to be like “it would be nice, but I don’t know” haha 

Do you have any male model as an idol or inspiration for modelling? 

David Gandy is one of my favourites! I don’t really have him as an idol or specific source of inspiration though. I admire him as I do with a lot of models as well but that’s it! I don’t try to be someone else, we are all unique.

Here at REY, we are Katsavochristos fans from day one! We have seen you growing in the industry and finally your face was all around Europe and the world with your latest D Squared campaign. Tell us more about your experience.

Well it still looks weird to me every time I look back to think about this journey. It was a super interesting experience with ups and downs but in the end I am winner just because I lived it! The Dsq2 campaign it is one of the biggest in my career I have to admit! Thanks to Dean & Christian Oita and their beautiful mood and energy the photoshoot turned into a fun day and that’s the most important part of it - the journey! And of course I’m so grateful for the great material (pics+videos) I got!

Which photo shooting is your favourite so far?

Oh there are so many that I can’t compare them. Actually, my favourite ones are the shootings that I got treated well, the team was kind and I didn’t get too much tired. But I can’t reveal more for the clients hehe.

Any future plans you can share with us? 

.Nowadays everything changes so fast in unexpected ways. Since we all have to live with Covid19 in our life I’m trying to make new plans that could stand the current situation. I am already in discussions for new projects but you’ll see more very soon ;)

Tell us something about you that we didn’t expect to hear.

I love singing! I sing all the time, in the shower, in the car, on my bicycle etc but I’m the worst singer all around the world!

Are you in love this period?

I’m not and I started worrying about that from the time you asked me hahaha

What is the song you are always listening to these days? 

Oh that’s easy, my favourite song the last 2 years is the “Iron Sky” by Paolo Nutini

In Barcelona with El_Isleño

Architect and model Valandis Kallis can’t get enough of Barcelona. The spicy Greek Cypriot lad is 'falling in love' with travelling every summer, and here he reveals his favorite places from Barcelona; go-to beach, clubbing, site seeing and more.

His favourite area to stay is the Eixample of Barcelona. "Grab a coffee, a fresh bocadillo and press play on your ipod. Enjoy a long walk starting from Rambia de Catalunya, skipping the croud of Las Ramblas and get lost in the old streets of Raval" he noted.

Valandi's favourite destination is always the sea, and in Barcelona he had the opportunity to walk across the coastline and feel the vibe of the beach life.  "Final stop of my long walk was the W hotel where I stopped at the beach next to it. After that the steps are simple. Shoes off,  walk on the gold sand and relax by enjoying a glass of cold tasty sangria." 

El Isleño ( his Vlog name and Instagram ) has recently started vlogging and we can't stop watching his latest video from his trip in Barcelona.
