Andrés Velencoso


“I would like to make Hugo Boss campaign and work again with Armani and Vuitton”


If we talk about male’s models international repercussion, we can not step aside Andrés Velencoso. This attractive model from Tossa de Mar has been the face of Louis Vuitton, Giorgio Armani, Chanel and others campaigns. As one
of the masters of ceremony in the Big Final of the VI Edition Pantene hair, he told us some of his projects and anxieties. By Clara Sánchez de Ron


QMany times it’s said that to have success people need to live the country. Do you agree?


Andres – Well, I am the example of that. The truth is that in Spain there are some people that succeed in a short time, but to others it takes more time and some never make it. Also I think luck has a lot of influence.


QWhat fashion aspects are more in a need for new projects?


A – People’s humbleness. Also we should turn male’s fashion around especially here in Spain but also in the world. But it’s understandable that more attention is dedicated to women.


QYou’ve worked with the best brands, wish project would you like to repeat?


A – Jennifer Lopez experience was very good and it was that, that made me recognizable in Spain. I would work again with Louis Vuitton. At that level, why not?


QWhich photographers would you like to work with?


A – I would like to work with photographers like Steven Meisel, Mario Testino and Bruce Weber and also with the brands that they represent.


QDo you practice any sport or yoga?


A – I started to practice Bikram Yoga in New York. We’ve practice at 120ºF but I’ve found it very hard. Also, I’ve joined a group with a teacher that knew a lot, I was new there and I’ve ended it by hurting myself. One day, talking to Cameron he told me that I should pick a private teacher. Yoga is one of the things that are on my mind and I plan to do it. But I don’t exercise a lot in the gym like everyone thinks. Sometimes I drink beer and eat tortilla and when I can I do sports.


QAfter being a model, would you like to do TV or cinema?


A – Not for now. I think you need to prepare yourself and work a lot before decide something. TV isn’t like fashion that when you do something four persons see it, it has a huge projection. If I reach to TV, I would like to
be prepared. We’ll see…


QWhich designers would you like to work with?


A – I would like to make Hugo Boss campaign and work again with Giorgio Armani and Louis Vuitton because those were great experiences to me. Also with Prada but I think I’m not their type.


QYour life has changed since you’ve became famous?


A – From the start. Since you’re recognized on the streets, you go buy something and people comment “Look, it’s Velencoso!” it changes your life a bit.


QDo you have a girlfriend?


A – No, I don’t. And it’s not a matter of time because to know somebody and to share a thousand of personal things you need to have luck.
