Rocky Salumbides: Filipino Male Supermodel
|
This is my second post featuring Rocky Salumbides. (Click Here for the first post). Hair Color: Brown Rocky Salumbides fits the quintessential mold of a Filipino male model - dark-skinned, lean-bodied and chiseled all over. These impeccable features are attributable to his unique Filipino, Puerto Rican and Chinese ancestry. Gone are the days when mestizo-looking (read: half-Caucasian) models lorded over the runways of Manila. Now, the trend is leaning towards the use of tan-skinned models to showcase the designs of local fashion houses; and Rocky Salumbides is leading the pack. Could this be the golden age of the tall, dark and handsome archetypal Filipino male mannequins? Well, it’s about time that designers utilized these brown-skinned adonises; anyways, no one else could better represent the dominant moreno-colored populace than them. Note: According to reports, Rocky Salumbides is the only Filipino to make it to New York-based Singaporean photographer Leslie Kee’s Asian Superstars Coffee Table Book. And what’s juicy about this info is that Rocky allegedly posed au naturelle for this project. I haven’t seen an actual copy of it since it’s quite pricey (costing US$300). The proceeds of the said book will be donated to the victims of the Asian Tsunami Disaster. Wow, that’s a nice concept: “Posing Nude For Charity”. What if I spearhead a similar project in the Philippines? Tell me what you think, guys. (If anybody wants to finance this project, you are more than welcome to help. Wink. Wink.) ;)

correction: rocky is the second filipino to be shot by leslie kee. the first happens to be the original asain male supermodel as reported by the enquirer… it is new york based model BRENT CHUA. he won the male model of the year at the singpore fashion awards 2004 and the only filipino to do so.

His my former elementary classmate at Cebu. Hw was already a head turner despite that his a childish! but look at him now! he emerged as one of pinoy hunks nowadays.
I just couldn’t believe that he will reach this stage of his life right now…
