BeautifulMag Cover Story:

Dark Angels - The Christopher Uvenio Collection

NO-ONE EVER PORTRAYED THE TRAGIC BEAUTY AND HOMOEROTICISM OF VAMPIRES BETTER THEN WRITER ANNE RICE. THE ONES WHO HAVE READ HER VAMPIRE CHRONICLES UNDOUBTEDLY KNOW WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. THE INEVITABLE ATTRACTION OF THE DARK SIDE. IMMORTALITY AND ETERNAL BEAUTY. PHYSICAL STRENGTH AND KNOWLEDGE THAT RISES ABOVE ANY HUMAN UNDERSTANDING. BUT AT THE SAME TIME AN INTENSE FEELING OF SOLITUDE, LIVING A LIFE OF NON-HUMANITY, DOOMED TO NEVER SEE THE SUN AGAIN.

When photographer Joseph Sinclair shared his Uvenio Collection with us, we were immediately drawn back into that mysterious parallel universe Anne Rice created with her Vampire Chronicles. The boldness and bravery of the Vampire Lestat, the softness and timidity of his companion Louis, the eternal youth and Botticelli angelic Armand… you find it all back in this unique cooperation of Joseph Sinclair and acclaimed fashion designer Christopher Uvenio.

Self-taught London based photographer Joseph Sinclair and Christopher Uvenio had been in contact for some time already before it finally came to a joined venture. Joseph always had a passion for Christopher’s glamour and chic designs, and wanted to juxtapose the eccentricity of th clothing with very masculine guys. The whole shooting resulted in this homoerotic collection of high fashion couture images with a Gothic undertone.

The Christopher Uvenio Collection exists out of three series. The first one are high contrasted sharp studio shot, the second, shot on a rooftop, have a more filmic character, and the third are much more softer and intimate. Christopher Uvenio is a men’s and women’s fashion designer, who has worked in several well-established fashion houses, and who’s creations have been used several times for the worlds number 1 drama series The Bold And The Beautiful. About his collection shown here, he says: "My collection is Wicked Glamour and inspire the glamour rock, of baroque and mixed of Classic Medival looks. The designs are very metro with jewels, kilts, chain shirts with embroidery crosses, fur..Its Classic Rock and its very wicked..." A follow up on this sensational cooperation between two unique talents is planned for later this year. –

Josh Costa, Ryan Enriquez, Josh Owens, Ryan Sharp, Doni Giovanni and Max Rhyser modeled in these sizzling Dark Angel collections that appeared in not just one magazine but several including a coffee table book by the Fashion iconic Linda Tain!

Christopher Uvenio Design: Florial Design Collection: photography by B. Calvin Colima

.

As a Designer for various markets from Dressy Sportswear to Design Studio to Intimate Apprel to Menswear, I always loved doing my eveningwear collection. I always think of glamour and glitz, flowing fabrics. As a former Florial designer, I thought of using many different colours and designs and draped the luxery fittings from the bust to the waitline, and have the layers of fabrics flow around the air. 2 gorgeous female supermodels from Milan, they came to New York during Fashion Week and I asked if they be interested. Yes they were and you can see that Maura and Kimmie brought femmine and simply glamour to the shoot by B. Calvin Colima. The shoot was successfully done at the location of downtown Manhattan. I always love decorating with florial as a designer and that was my inspiring for my Design Studio collection.
