Shining a light on the faces of the future, VMAN and Emporio Armani will pair up to uncover the industry’s next top male models. This model search embraces the changing landscape of the fashion industry, with models being discovered through social media and showing their chops through digital platforms and covers. The three finalists will have a group VMAN digital cover shoot to be featured on VMAN.com and walk in the Emporio Armani SS21 fashion show in Milan, September 2020 with all travel expenses paid for.

Steven Klein is the latest addition to V MAN and VMagazine’s CreatiVity initiative, opting to shoot at least one model from the ongoing male model search. Entries will be considered for a virtual “go-see” with Klein. New York/Long Island-based male model entries will be considered for a future shoot for V or VMAN.
