story behind the story

“The team wanted to shoot a story that would showcase model William Chan’s expressiveness, as well as his graphic (almost black & white) colouring. I’d been wanting to shoot by friends’ French Bulldogs; once we included them in the mix, the story fell into place. Featuring mostly black and white looks, the title is a lyric from the Van Morrison classic Oh Domino” – Richard Pier Petit

O2W has been dreaming of a girl like Danielle Henry. And we are not alone. Danielle, this Sicilian/African American siren, has already shot for Polo Ralph Lauren and with Bruce Weber (for 10 days!) for Hollister and A&F. With more than a passing resemblance to early 90s icon Robin Givens, Danielle has energy to burn and a look that will definitely take her places. View more info on Danielle’s profile.

Sean Thomson is today’s man of the moment and we feel plenty of California love for this LA Models discovery. Recently signed, Sean is wholesome and all American, but definitely not boring. Mr Thomson could be tomorrow’s teen idol. View more info on Sean’s profile.

Nathaniel Sosa, 17, has O2W going back to Cali for today’s pick of the boys. Nathaniel has those great West Coast looks, like he just stepped from the pages of an A&F catalog. This water polo player could do swimmingly in 2009. View more info on Nathaniel’s profile.

Andre Martinez hails from the state of Texas, and we all know that the stars shine big and bright in the heart of Texas. Andre is 17 years old and was discovered by LA Models. With his dark good looks, we don’t think that Andre will be a Lonesome Dove! View more info on Andre’s profile.

All hail Mikhail! A recent discovery by LA Models, Mikhail is Russian, 20 years old, and completely cute. View Mikhail’s profile.

LA Models have a track record of finding the cream of West Coast talent, the latest of which is Peter Urich. Totally new and testing this week, we’ll keep you updated on Peter’s progress. View Peter’s profile.
