Be grateful that lacrosse game fanatics fit on confront masks, otherwise we might have slightly much less to celebrate about today's ELLE Homme, Eduardo Ramos—the ruggedly handsome Ford type was the captain of Ursinus University's varsity lacrosse team, precisely where he achieved all 4 many years preceding to receiving into modeling. Shortly correct after graduation, his athletic beneficial appears caught the eyesight of famed photographer Richard Phibbs, who experienced Ramos don vintage football items for one of his iconic Sports' shoots. The Cuban stunner then went on to property a starring part in Michael Bastian's very first advert campaign for his Gant choice (which was themed, fortuitously, near to lacrosse).

We've often loved Richard Phibb's work, and there is lots of it hanging in Barneys, at our Michael Bastian shop, stated Eugenia Gonzales, Bastian's PR Director. We have been accomplishing our very first casting for this collection, and Eduardo walks in, and we're like, Oh my god, you're the dude within our shop!' So obviously, he was perfect. And Michael Bastian, who's gone on report saying he prefers his designs getting real hotties, not garments hangers, has booked him each and every and every period of your time contemplating that (He's between the uncommon kinds that's receiving drastically better each and every and every year, stated the designer).

When he's not providing beneficial confront inside the runway and on camera, steering to workshops on the Michael Howard acting studio, or educating sports activities to toddlers, the tall, dark, and handsome Jersey boy has an everyman side, too.
