VMAN Issue #21: Kanye West + Inside Story

VMAN #21, the “No Risk, No Reward” issue, with star KANYE WEST photographed exclusively by KARL LAGERFELD.  

In Kanye’s only magazine cover shoot of the season, he shows that he’s finally done talking and wants his art to speak for itself. He has literally put his money where his mouth is, and in tandem, VMAN has issued a promotion where one in ten covers contain REAL dollar bills. It’s the ‘thrill of the game’ – and who better to illustrate this than one of the most controversial music and fashion icons of our generation.

Aaron Johnson, Bradley Cooper, Stephen Dorff, Sam Rockwell, and Thomas Dekker in VMAN #21

VMAN editors keep things interesting in the newest issue of VMAN (issue #21): “The Thrill of the Game Issue,” where Hollywood’s top directors (Sofia Coppola, Gregg Araki, Sam Taylor-Wood, Tony Goldwyn, Neil Burger) get behind the lens to photograph their prized leading men. In this spread, VMAN offers a peek into the newest films of 2011 and the minds of male stars like Aaron Johnson, Bradley Cooper, Stephen Dorff, Sam Rockwell, and Thomas Dekker.

VMAN: “Fearless: Both Sides of the Lens”

A sexualized sci-fi world savior; a drug-addict genius; a Hollywood mold-breaker; a wrongfully convicted felon; one of the world’s greatest icons – these characters are no small feat, and directors take great risks with the actor s/he faithfully advocates. We celebrate the Spring’s most daring films by having these intrepid actors photographed by their epic directors.

“The Thrill of the Game Issue.” In a 6 of 14-page spread, photographer Terry Tsiolis catches co-eds in their sportiest spring looks from our favorite fashion houses across the globe. The second story is far less kinetic, but shows that even stopped in airport security, you still need to look good.

VMAN: “Game On”

It’s hard to image which came first: clothes or competition. But they’ve certainly evolved together. Each fashion house proudly has it’s own sporty styles and action looks. Here, we spotlight their celebrations of all things athletic.

Photographer: Terry Tsiolis; Text: Jay Massacret

Models: (male) Nico Krull, Isaac Weber, Michael Wozniak, Simon Nessman, Alejandro R. and Bradley Stainton

VMAN issue #20 Fall/Winter 2010: Stephen Dorff

STEPHEN DORFF, the 37-year-old rebel actor and star of the forthcoming, much-hyped movie directed by Sofia Coppola called “Somewhere.” VMAN’s cover and inside spread features Dorff with a body rivaling a teenage athlete.  Dorff says he owes Coppola for the opportunity to renew his interest in the (acting) craft and continue to discover his art.  His mother died of brain cancer one year and one day before Sofia offered him the coveted role.

“I learned how to grow up.” – Stephen Dorff
