Fresh Faces of Peroni

It is with great pleasure that Peroni and MaleOrderOnly.com announce the names of the new “Fresh Faces of Peroni”, models chosen to represent the ideals of “la dolce vita”, or the good life, for the stateside debut of collections by FashionAssassin and Niki Flynn. Those models are (in alphabetical order):

Blake Hanson, Thomas Herrero, K. Holden, Manuel Jimenez, Andre Linzmeyer, Marivel Mendoza, Andrew Peters, Markus Pope, Zac Thomas, and Steve Swofford.

The success of the “Fresh Faces of Peroni” campaign is credited in part to Energy 92.7FM and JE Model Agency. Their assistance in getting the word out, and sorting through all of the submissions was invaluable. A select group of models were asked to attend a casting call on Monday, August 14th, at California Modern Art Gallery, where they met with a representative of the Peroni Team. Ten models were chosen to appear along with the official Peroni Girls, Meredith Allen and Lluvy Gomez (from Season 4 of America’s Next Top Model), and celebrity guest Ladybug Mecca on the runway on Friday, August 18th, at Union Square.

Peroni’s ITALIAN STYLE IN A BOTTLE event marks the debut of FashionAssassin and Niki Flynn in the United States. This runway presentation is the first time that either line has shown stateside. They are represented in this enterprise, by MaleOrderOnly.com, an online luxury store for men created by Hareth Tayem.

The photograph was taken of the “Fresh Faces of Peroni” on Tuesday, August 15th, at Emporio Rulli by Warren DiFranco Hsu of After5Media.com.
