【PROFILE: LUCAS LAURENT】
Name: Lucas Laurent Age: 21 Height: 183cm Base: Paris, France Specialty: Genderless / Avant-garde / Haute Couture
■ THE CHAMELEON ON THE RUNWAY
Both the strength of menswear and the delicacy of womenswear. Lucas's bone structure, which possesses both, has led designers to call him the "ultimate canvas." The moment he puts on a sleeve, the clothes are imbued with life, and the story begins to move.
"I believe that by me wearing it, the garment is completed. That's not arrogance, but my responsibility as a model."
As he speaks detachedly, his eyes hold a chillingly professional consciousness unbefitting of a youth.
■ THE MYSTERY OF "L.L."
His private life is shrouded in a thick veil, and his social media presence is extremely minimal. "Something that can be loved for a long time, rather than a trend," he says. His essence is surprisingly stoic and realistic for the glamorous fashion industry. His behavior, devoid of flattery, makes the viewer feel the "solitude held only by the chosen."
If you encounter him enjoying black coffee in the morning light, you are lucky. But be careful. While you think you are watching him, he might be the one observing you before you know it.
