FHM is not hugely prestigious, its a lad mag more than a fashion mag. A cover or spread for a fashion title like AH+ or VHI has waaay more kudos.
Levis - yup, label but not really part of the high fashion scene. Besides... afaik it was a local Levis he did work for, not a worldwide campaign, int it. but yea its cool

prestigewise...obviously his Armani shoot is the tops
even tho the campaign wasnt just him
also i imagine the lovely isabelli commanded the highest fee for it, probably.
surprised if thats wrong ...
Alex has been photographed by Mario Testino. That's pretty prestigious by any standards.

yup i know that too
naturally. i'll have those somewhere too, i'm sure.
again that campain wasnt just him of course, it was ensemble.
lovely pictures too aint it
i just like saying that

but yup, testino does shoots for a lot of campaigns
for a lot of labels
all the time
well he is a fashion photographer after all, before princess di made him famous and a 'celebrity' one
thats still what he does mostly
so quite a lot of models get to work with him
i know quite a few as it happens
actually testino does work for that particular designer regularly, infact he also did the following season after the one that alex was in. And since.
yup its true

Of course we all know that Our Alex is an internationally renowned model


Here's what the Russians think about him


Alexei Sibliski


( scroll down to first piccie )


I think the commentary is a little unfair, he's not that bad

aw c'mon, alexs a mighty fine model really

but his armani shoot is kinda funny
coz everyone elses doing smiling, laughing, happy poses....
but no not alex
ok except for a couple of shots, apart from that
he doesnt look particularly happy in the rest of them
maybe he was wanting a good whinge
no ok hes really
im sure he was just doing his smolderin' bit, int it

but the birthday party shot is the most hilarious tho
well i think it is.
poor alex
i think the caption for that one should read, "alcohol is not a friend of mine"
dont ya reckon?

I'm sure ben is right, just his car of choice - I agree I'd love it - he was lucky to have something like that so young.
I guess he is now ready to move on.

ps. Alex wasn't living at home most of that time, he was working abroad, he used the car only when he was back here.
But Alex is still not getting sufficient praise on this forum for auctioning off an unwanted car for charity at Chrimbo-is it Children in Need after all?-well done Alex.

Thanks for the welcomes, Eejay and Rosemary. No I'm not a member of the Alex fansite, as I'm not really one to join or post on boards usually.
Thanks for the link Rosemary - almost all the pictures there are taken from magazines during and after BB3 or copied off other websites, though, which I've already seen, lol, but thanks anyway, I appreciate what a helpful person you are.
Marky, you are very nice to go out of your way for me and I am very grateful, especially as you're not particularly a fan at all (I don't think). Please check your inbox.

Vicky
