Sam Way is just 22 years old and its hard to believe that his career began almost 7 years ago. At the age of 17 he had already landed a Topman campaign and been photographed by Bruce Weber alongside Kate Moss. I’ve interviewed a load of models and sometimes the answers start to become a bit predictable so I love when I Interview someone who is spontaneous, witty and quirky. Sam has also got lots of charisma, charm and breaks every stereotype about male models. Hailing from a town with a population of less than 7000 people,  Sam has gone on to become one of the UK’s most prominent face in fashion. Below is his interview.

Tell us a little about yourself – (where you grew up, your life – anything you wish to tell)

Okay! so…… I grew up in a small town called Crediton in Devon. The most exciting thing that ever happened there was the alleged birth of “St Boniface” the man who is accredited partly for the integration of the famed Christmas tree into our festive celebrations. So a pretty dull environment to grow up in on reflection.

How did you start modelling?

I went through school as standard, got into rugby, began playing for the county and then, on a trip up to London with my mum, got spotted by Models1 in the Oxford St, Topshop. I was 15 at the time, and didn’t know what to think of it. My mate Myles, who was there with me began spreading the gospel through school that I was now officially a model for TOPMAN.  Eventually M1 organised a test shoot and took me onto their books. The first few jobs were for girls magazines. My mum made the trip up to London every time and made sure I was suitably embarrassed for the duration of the shoot. The first big job I got was ironically for TOPMAN. From then on, I tried to balance school with modelling, sometimes un-equally, and decided after I’d finished my A levels, that I would do it full time for a while.

Earlier this year you voted Sam Way as your favourite Briitsh model of 2009. Our next Interview is with Sam Way. I'll be unveiling his interview in the next few days but until then  here is my  portrait of him. Sam has had quite the meteoric rise to the modelling industry's summit, with campaigns  for Paco Rabanne, Diesel,  Topman and Pull and Bear he has become a prominent face in the industry and he is still only 22. It's probably one of my most interesting interviews yet. Sam comes across as the complete opposite to the archetype of a male model.  He's witty, grounded, smart and quite quirky as he isnt one to be typecast into any role. Stay tuned for his full interview on Friday.

Spanish fashion brand, Pull & Bear has used our British Male Model of the Year, Sam Way to front their  Spring Summer 2010 campaign. He is joined by Mackenzie and fellow Brit, Clark Mallone. The whole campaign was shot by  Mariano Vivanco in Argentina. The videography was done by Regan Hall and Art and Creative Direction by Gaspar Sobrino. Sam is really racking up the campaigns.

Diesel just released their new campaign for Spring/Summer 2010 camapign and  its really sexy.  The pictures remind me of the sexy photos that people sometimes post on social networking sites except  instead of featuring Average Joe and Average Jane the ads feature some of the industries sexiest models. British model Sam Way is joined by Tobias Sorensen and Dan Cameron and a cast of other sexy models. The shoot was photographed  by Miko Lim and has the byline "SEX SELLS: but unfortunately we sell Jeans". I expect this denim collection to sell like hot cakes.  I wonder if this form of sexualised advertising is a trend brought on by the recession or just a really clever idea  by Diesels creative team.

The poll to vote for the Best British Male model of 2009 has finally closed and the winner is a bit of surprise but a good surprise. In 2009 Max Rogers landed the September cover Of Vogue Italia which is a huge accomplishment for any model, furthermore a male model, Danny Schwarz  had multiple campaigns shot by Mario Testino and Armani and a string of editorials, David Gandy  continued his dominance with his Dolce & Gabanna campaigns. However,  these three models were  beaten to the top spot by Sam Way.  I once heard someone say , " that you are no one until you have had a fragrance  ad on tv". Well this  year Sam Way has had two! He was the face of Diesels Only the Brave Campaign and he  was the face of Paco Rabanne's Black XS. Congrats to Sam. The Results of our Poll were as follows.

	Sam Way	133	37%
	David Gandy	126	35%
	Danny Schwarz	56	16%
	Max Rogers	22	6%
	Jamie Dornan	6	2%
	Eddie Tucker	6	2%
	Jeremy Young	3	1%
	Josh Beech	3	1%
	Ollie Edwards	2	1%

If you read this blog regularly you will know that I wasnt very  happy with the model category at the British Fashion Awards. Ive always thought the category should be split in two and an award given for the best  fmeale model as well as the best male model. I got some help from the people  over at ModelHommes and came up with the following list of British Male models that were big in 2009. We've narrowed it down to 9 for you to chooose from. They are (from left to right), David Gandy, Jeremy Young, Danny Scwharz, Jamie Dornan, Josh Beech, Sam Way, Eddie Tucker, Ollie Edwards and Max Rogers.

Dont forget to vote after the photos!

 Earlier this week we posted the video for the new Pull and Bear campaign. Here are the first shots from the  Pull and Bear Autumn/ Winter print campaign. You’ve got to love the plaid/tartan. I also like how they have used denim in the collection. I love the farm chic look of the clothes. It’s a collision of  smallville and  fashion.

PS. If anyone from Pull & Bear is reading this I wouldn’t  be impartial to some free samples.

The Pull & Bear Autumn Winter 2009/2010 campaign is coming out later this week. However, they have posted the video for their “Real Flight” campaign on their official Youtube Channel. Once again it features British model Sam Way from Models 1/View Barcelona. This time he is joined by Marlon Texeira, Isa Asklof and Ginta Lapina.

While most retailers have gone for nautical looks this season. Pull and Bear has chosen to go in the direction of aviation. The campaign and clothing are both influenced  by the age of aeronautic development. Overall its a  good presentation video and the I really like the coats and jackets in the collection. Pull & Bear seems to have managed to maintain their young , edgy appeal while still creating a sophistication that slightly older customers will still be able to appreciate.

The photography & videography  was shot by  Eugenio Recuenco, Art Direction by Eric Dover and Creative Direction by Gaspar Sobrino.

The Pull and Bear blog has posted some new shots from behind the scenes of their Fall-Winter 09-10 Campaign. The  campaign is titled “The Real Flight” and was shot by photographer Eugenio Recuenco. The premise of  the campaign is  about a man about "a man who lived during the Second World War and who always dreamed of being able to fly". The campaign is expected to debut later this week and stars british modell, Sam Way.

Anyone living in  London know that we are experiencing a major heatwave ( it was 32 degrees today). Its the sort of weather where you wanna jump straight in a pool or lounge around the house in your underwear because its just too damn hot to wear clothes. At work I even got sent a funny memo about steps to take during  a heatwave (although its hot there are many places  where it is hotter than this everyday) to ensure that you don't have a heat stroke, it also included  how to spot if one of your collegues is having a heat stroke.

In keeping with the hot weather I decided to post some images from Diesel's underwear line  Diesel Intimates.  The ads feature Brit model  Sam Way, who is no stranger to modeling underwear as he was recently the face and body of William Baker's BBoy underwear line.

Sam Way is the new face of DIESEL's Only the Brave fragrance. Check out the TV ad above and the "making of video" after the jump.

I recently posted some images from the Pull & Bear Spring/Summer campaign. Pull & Bear has to be one of my favourite stores, There are only 3 branches in the UK but I expect more branches to open . Above is the video  featuring the Spring/Summer Ad campaign.There Spring Summer line is very trendy, lots of fringing and has midwestern  aesthetique.

Pull and Bear

Sam Way ( who I think is the UK's best male model  since Will Chalker and Andrew Cooper) is part of Pull and Bear's Spring Summer 09 Campaign. He previously did the Pull & Bear Autumn/Winter 08/09 campaign . This  time the shoot was lensed by photographer Daniel Riera.

I really like the Pull & Bear Spring /Summer collection its very earthy and its got a very midwestern vibe  to it. I would describe it as the Wild West meets style. I also like the overexposed look of the shots .
