Sydney Boys Fly High for CALVIN KLEIN

Vivien’s Model Management signed them on the spot. In the nine months since a mate recommended modelling over brewing coffee, the 19-year old duo couple were flown to London to meet influential designer Tom Ford, photographed by stellar fashion snapper Bruce Weber and starred in campaigns for brands including Abercrombie & Fitch as well as American Eagle. Two weeks after signing with Vivien’s, Ford saw pictures of the Stenmark brothers on the internet and requested a personal meeting.

Zach and Jordan Stenmark were awarded AFL sports scholarships to Sydney University last year. Both brothers were utility players, adept in the backline or as full-forward, and were gaining their start in the game in the AFL’s Greater Western Sydney team. But more impressively, the twins have made their debut for the prestigious Calvin Klein collection show as part of Milan Men’s Fashion Week.

Jordan opened the show in an alligator skin jersey and trousers and Zach closed it in a slim-fitting black suit, as part of a whirlwind of introduction to the world of international modelling that has seen them forgo football careers in favour of catwalks and campaign billboards around the world.

The twins are now represented by seven agencies around the world including Red Model Management in New York, Nathalie Models in Paris and Premier Model Management in London, as well as Vivien’s.
