And Now he is also one of the leading Men of my newest biggest project  of my Uvenio Coffee table book! And Rafaele is truly one of the most professional, loving and special supermodel and a close friend of mine. And he brought everything I needed from him when we went on location to do the big shoot!
What is it like that you are one of the 2 leading Male Model of the Coffee table Book?
-Its one the most amazing feelings. I feel so lucky and honored to be part of this project.
Why do you think you have been chosen as one of the 2 top leading Male Models of the Book?
- I am bringing life, masculinity, and uniqueness. Pushing the envelope gives me a sense of liberty. 
The Photo shoot was done on location at Locanda Cavallo, what did you think of the location and the settings? 
- It was incredible! So much green and beauty. Amazing art work and statues. It felt like home. :)
You were there for 4 days. Sound like a mix of Vacation and work.
Did you have the time of your life working with various models and lots of glitz and glamour in the collection!
-Absolutely!! It was once in a lifetime enjoyment. Also, working with such a wonderful crew and the amazing photographer Vaughn Stewart.
Previous Interview, you mentioned Uvenio as one of your favorite designers, why?
-I love how visual and detail he is. The glam, edginess he brings on everything he touches.  (Thank you Rafaele, you're the best!)
What were some of your best moments doing the Uvenio Coffee table book?  
- Wearing the corsets at the barn and the glamorous stair case shot outside and the bubble bath shot. 
You have been photographed in such classic cars, the barn, the country club, the estates, the hotel, the pool room, the country club and even a gorgeous marbled bathtub! What was the bubble bath like with my silk shirt. What was your favorite scenery of the shoot? 
-Haha, it was coooooold but I love doing stuff out of your comfort zone. And yes it was some thing I've never done before.
Wasn’t was the water warm with bubbles like….;)
-No, very icy cold!!
You worked with 2 beautiful supermodels, Lauren and Kimberly and they both have different style of modeling and looks. Can you explain the different of their modeling and working with them? 
-Well they look very different and they have their own unique style. Like night and day. I loved working with them. If you put them both in a room, you know you'll have a party. 
Like Lauren has more of the flirty Attitude and Kimberly is more of the Avant Garde style…

Are you in several nude shots in the Coffee table book?
-Yes I am.
How do you feel doing partial nude and why?
-I am a great book read. Why not show the goods.? Lol
And what is the Uvenio Coffee table book about?  An idea?
-Love With No Boundaries-
What would make the audiences buy the book you are the star of?  
-Sex, love, and fashion.
Since the Book doesn't have a name, what would be the best title of the book?
-LOVE IN FASHION-
                              
Do you have anything to say before we wrap up about the Coffee Table book project?
-I am so thrilled about the outcome on this book!! Thank you Christopher Uvenio for the amazing opportunity. XO
