    Chris Brown is the face of Guess, and the only male model that has been featured in three consecutive campaigns in one year by Guess. His handsome face is the perfect expression that Guess was looking for in sending their messages and representing their products.

    Born and raised in in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the same place where fellow Canadian model Robert Perovich's from, Chris' modeling career began by accident. An architecture major in college, Chris had chosen his career path when a modeling agent approached him at a hotel in Seattle, Washington.

    Chris Brown later joined an interview session during a talent search hosted by ProScout in Vancouver, and gained the likes of the judges instantly. Chris was soon off to Toronto having his first modeling gigs through Canadian media. His short stint in Toronto was followed by a quick relocation to New York, where he was signed on by Ford Models. And it has been an amazing career trajectory ever since.

    Chris Brown's boy-next-door good looks gained the likes of many photographers, and had nailed numerous magazine fashion spreads and designer bookings including Gap, Armani Collezioni, and Perry Ellis.

    The image transformation of Chris to a more rugged look has brought more life into his career in 2002. First appearing on the covers of Knneth Cole and Club Monaco, Chris finally found the "one defining moment" as a model, when Guess decided to feature him in the Spring 2002 ad campaign, and the following two seasons' campaigns.

    With many thanks to Michael Lange (casting director from New York) who had known Chris since he first met him at ProScout, and made the recommendation to use Chris for the Guess shoot, Chris was able to enjoy his unforgettable experience in White Sands, New Mexico for his very first Guess gig.

    Chris is very grateful for being a model and the opportunity that ProScout had given him up till this day. "I might still be back home washing cars or something," Chris says, "back home no one ever thought I'd be a model."

    When he's not standing still in front of a camera lens, Chris is a man of action. Some of his favorite activities include surfing, jetskiing and riding his motorcycle and dirt bike.

  2. Full Name: Andres Segura Velencoso

    Home: a small seaside town called Tossa del Mar outside Barcelona Spain

    Born: 1978

    Relationship: Dating Micheala, who's from Puerto Rico.

    Height: 6' 2.5" / 189 cm

    Hair: Brown

    Eyes: Brown

    He is the picture perfect image of a young Spanish man: dark brown locks of hair, a debonair and elegant smile, and dark mysterious eyes. Now Andres Segura stars in Fall 2003 highly anticipated Louis Vuitton campaign. The campaign, which was shot by photographer duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, will feature the Latin hunk opposite international star Jennifer Lopez.

    Growing up in Tossa del Mar, a small seaside town outside Barcelona, Segura finished school before venturing into a Spanish modeling agency, Group Models Management. But his journey to success was filled with frustration and rejections in the beginning. A buzzed haircut and a muscular body didn't seem to be the ideal image that European market demands. When Andres went to Milan, almost every agent thought that he was too big and goofy.

    Natalie Kates, an agent from New York based Q Model Management opened the door to Andres Segura. With his newly grown long hair, Andres finally landed in New York in the early spring of 2001.

    Undeniably gorgeous, yet unpolished and speaking no English, Andres Segura traveled overseas for his first time to New York City. Within days of arriving he found himself on the set of a shoot in East Hampton, New York. Despite the hardships of a language barrier, he caught the eyes of some of the industry's most famous photographers including Francois Nars, Michael Thompson, Hiro and Greg Kadel.

    In the Spring 2002 his first campaign for Banana Republic made him one of the most recognizable men in fashion. His handsome smile brought him from a small village to a billboard at the top of Times Square.

    For a year following, he continued his modeling when photographer duo Inez and Vinoodh and stylist Joe McKenna chose him to be the subject of French Vogue's first male model profile. The issue, which debuted in April 2003, launched him to the eyes of fashion and catapulted him to become the new male icon.

    His sharp good looks have now matured into ultra-sexiness and his English is swept with a sharp charming accent that makes him the new definition for male beauty. The stunning black and white editorial in French Vogue caught the eyes of Louis Vuitton creative director Marc Jacobs who hand-selecting Segura to star in the Fall 2003 Louis Vuitton campaign while rumors of Jennifer Lopez's involvement began to swirl. Ben Affleck was allegedly hanging around on set to make sure they behaved themselves.

    It wasn't until the final call sheet appeared at Q Management a day before the shoot, which confirmed Lopez's appearance, that the world outside of fashion would begin to know Segura's name and now it is not soon that they will forget it.

    He has followed up his Fall 2003 campaign for Louis Vuitton, with appearances in Citizen K, The Face, and the upcoming Brioni and Exte Campaigns, along with television profiles on Entertainment Tonight and EXTRA.
