TYSON BECKFORD FOR MRPORTER.COM







Tomorrow’s edition of the MRPORTER.COM online magazine The Journal features an interview with Mr Tyson Beckford, one of the most successful male models of all time and host of the new series of Britain and Ireland’s Next Top Model.

In an exclusive photoshoot for Mr Porter, Tyson reveals what it takes to be a top male model, and talks candidly about his experience within the industry; from the wild parties of the 1990s to working with close friend Naomi Campbell, and what it’s like to be married to a Victoria’s Secret angel.

"As a kid I had bad teeth and crazy hair. I was as skinny as a rail. I remember going to castings, walking in, and the man at the front desk informing me, 'Deliveries are round the back.' That sort of racism was fairly common. Of course I also got grief from my male friends back home, who thought my job was to walk around in a thong the entire time. But then the ads started coming out: rocking up in a Ferrari tends to shut people up."

Emilio Cavallini 'Risqué Business' launch party

Last night I was invited along to Sketch London in the newly refurbished Martin Creed Gallery for Emilio Cavallini's Risqué Business launch party - and what a party it was guests were treated with Perrier Jouet Chamapagne a host of cocktails and snacks such as mini burgers, salmon dishes and an amazing Risotto.,..


Guests in attendance on the night included - Eliza Doolittle who DJ'ed, Jameela Jamil who also hit the decks, Jade Parfitt, Leah Weller, Male supermodel Tyson Beckford who was just amazing handsome, Dudley O' Shaughnessy (that's right Rihanna's boy toy from the we found a love video), Diana Vickers and Zara Martin among Others.


The hot topic of conversation was Emilio's cult 'mantyhose' for men - not only were some female guests wearing Emilio's hosiery but a number of male guests were wearing the cult item including Tydon Beckford and I must say when you hear the word mantyhose you think mmmmm.... Not sure but when you see them on they are really a hot item. (I want a pair)


All in all it was a great night, great product and I love the little snippet fashion shows that happened through the night and it certainly was Risque Business......
