Black Male Model Biography

Source(Google.com.pk)
SUPERMODEL, ACTOR and television personality Tyson Craig Beckford was born in Rochester, New York on December 19, 1970. His parents are of different ethnic backgrounds. His father, Lloyd Beckford, is a Jamaican of Panamanian nationality, and his mother, Hillary Dixon Hall, is a Chinese Jamaican. He shares his part-Asian ethnicity with fellow black supermodel Naomi Campbell, whose grandmother was also Chinese.

TYSON'S CHINESE HISTORY
The Chinese first came to Jamaica in 1854 to work on its plantations as indentured servants. Relationships soon flourished between the migrants and the local Jamaican women, and by the mid-1940s there were over 5,500 people of Afro-Chinese ethnicity living on the island.

The biography of Tyson's rise to supermodel stardom is as compelling as his multi-ethnic heritage. Soon after he was born his mother took the family back to Jamaica, where they lived for seven years before returning to New York, finally settling in Harlem. During his school years Tyson was teased about his looks, but this did not stop his career as a model taking off in 1992, after he was spotted in New York's Washington Square Park by Jeff Jones, an editor at hip-hop magazine The Source.

MODEL MOVES
Shortly afterwards he began working with top photographers Herb Ritts and Bruce Weber. It was Weber who introduced the young model to Ralph Lauren, who signed him in 1994 to an exclusive contract as the face of the Polo Sport range that made his name worldwide as the first black male supermodel.

But it was tough, as being the first black male fashion model to feature for the designer came with challenges. “I remember walking into Ralph Lauren for the first time, and seeing only white guys there;” he said in Tyson Beckford Up Close. “I was the only black guy in the whole casting. And they'd give me that look, like what are you doing here.”

Undeterred, Beckford went on to major success with Polo Ralph Lauren, modelling for the brand for five years, while simultaneously featuring on the covers of all the major fashion magazines. In 1995 his cross-racial aesthetic of Chinese eyes, high cheekbones, full lips and brown skin catapulted him into People magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People In The World. More recently he has become a television celebrity, branching out as a judge in reality model shows such as Make Me A Supermodel, and Britain And Ireland's Next Top Model. NATIONALITY: American

PERSONAL: Hoyt Richards (born 1962) is an American model and actor . John began modeling at age 21. Now at 46 he's still modeling represented by Storm Models. He's married to Alison Edmond, Fashion Director of Harper's Bazaar UK.
Richards, a scholar-athlete, went to Princeton University where he graduated in 1985 with a BA in Economics and played varsity football. At that stage, he had no plans to be a male model. His focus was on football and work on academics. But a shoulder injury lead him to New York to see a specialist. On that trip, he was told his football playing days were over but he was spotted by a casting director. Eventually, his trips to New York for auditions lead to him a meeting with the Ford Model Agency.
MALE SUPER MODEL STATUS: Richards became one of the biggest names in modeling in the late 1980s and 1990s. He is viewed by many in the industry as being the first male supermodel . He appeared in hundreds of advertising campaigns and was photographed by Bruce Weber , Richard Avedon , Helmut Newton , Steven Meisel , Horst , and Albert Watson . His campaigns include Gianni Versace , Valentino , Gianfranco Ferré , Ralph Lauren , Burberry , Dunhill , Cartier , and Donna Karan .
Thus began his career as a male model. Hoyt's heyday modeling career lasted fifteen years with over 200 major ads and hundreds of commercials. However, Richards is the oldest longest lasting model of the elite 25. Stamina and determination have led this ruggedly handsome model to withstand 3 generations and counting. VOGUE: "This list would be incomplete without Hoyt Richards. As a scholar athlete at Princeton he is not only bright but beautiful. He has appeared in over 25 different issues of GQ and made the male model movement "hip." PERSONAL: Vincent Gallo (born April 11, 1961) is an American Model, film actor , director , producer , screenwriter , singer-songwriter , and painter . Gallo was born in Buffalo, New York , the son of Janet, a hair-dresser, and Vincenzo Vito Gallo, also a hairdresser and professional gambler. Both of his parents emigrated from Sicily , Italy .
Gallo lived in New York City 1978-2002 and traveled around most of Europe living briefly in Paris and Rome. Gallo's first creative project was as a member of the New York City-based post-punk band GRAY whose members included famed artist Jean-Michel Basquiat .
MALE SUPER MODEL STATUS: Gallo has modeled, most notably for Calvin Klein , and been photographed by Richard Avedon . Avedon who is considered the top 5 fashion photographers of all time felt Gallo had the most "unique and striking looking" of anyone he had ever met. Gallo's pic with Avendon are still legendary as he excudes and becomes whatever he feels and it shows through his pics. He could have been another Tony Ward but his desire to pursue other avenues changed that.
VOGUE: "Vincent first began painting, then racing motorcycles, and finally became an actor. Although he has had minor roles in mainstream films such as Goodfellas , he is most associated with independent movies , including Buffalo '66 , which he wrote, directed, and did the music for and starred in; The Brown Bunny ."
"The writers here at Vogue feel his look is extraordinary with maybe the strongest sex appeal on this list. It seems whatever Mr. Gallo desires he seems to get. Talented with a short fuse, he does move us no matter what he is doing."
