Da Man Magazine - August - September 2022

In this issue

When it comes to covering the ins and outs of fashion, most media outlets would relish any chance to pick the brain of acclaimed designers and creative directors or famous photographers and stylists. Models, however, are mostly seen but not heard. While that is, to be fair, the actual job description of a professional model, I think that there are so many untold stories from these faces of fashion stories that inspire, enlighten and entertain. So, for years, DAMAN has not only teamed up with models from all across the globe to showcase the latest fashion highlights, but also to talk with them, to learn more about their line of work and the inner workings of the fashion biz, all while trying to catch glimpses of what are some pretty extraordinary lives. We used to focus these stories in or biannual DAMAN Style special editions, but for a while now, we’ve continued this tradition in our regular issues as well. And for this August/September issue, we have quite the lineup. First up, we have a longtime friend of the magazine, Aurélien Muller, who is now as much a doting father as he is a top tier model. We also have a feature story starring industry veteran Clint Mauro, who we might see quite a bit more of in the future as he is set to return to acting as well. These two gents are highlighted on our two cover variants for this issue. Yes, there are two cover versions of our August/September 2022 issue ... so, collectors please take note. Furthermore, we also have a fashion story starring yet another seasoned veteran, Arnaud Lemaire. And rounding up our lineup this time around is fitness model Nick Topel, who is also a trainer with a very unique approach to wellness. Together with these four models, we’ve managed to create an impressive visual showcase—even if I do say so myself—that is further complemented by a series of intriguing stories that are, as I mentioned earlier, seldom told.
