One thing I do know in the Vmagazine/Ford competition is that I am far from conventional. I'm sure I entered the competition for the same reasons as the other guys. somewhat on a whim and because others have told us we should "be models." As I come to the end of my college career at Harvard studying Art History and Italian Studies, I find myself with a curiosity for fashion and a desire to enter the industry. Fashion has hit mainstream culture, yet I still have a desire for it to remain sophisticated and artful. I'm not the ridiculously chiseled sporty man but am a man of a more demure and pensive presence. I believe that I still embody masculinity but do so in a different way, in an elegant manner. Ultimately, whoever the man, I would love to see male fashion pushed to more daring and experimental heights. In sum, I bring a reasoned intelligence and European look to the table. Whether you place me at the top of this competition or not, you can be sure that in due time you'll be hearing from me. But, of course, I could use your support.
Head on over to the contest and vote for Stefan!

What Stefan has going for him over the other run-of-the-mill-hot-but-no-substance contestants is his BRAIN! It imbues his photos with sensitivity, depth, intrigue...you actually want to look at him more because of the story he tells with his eyes and what lies behind them.
Stefan ROCKS!!!

I think brainygirl must be right about his intelligence: there is just something deep and soulful in his eyes and expression.
However, Marc and Doug are right, too: totally, dreamboat and major cutiepie.

What a find, Chris! Is it just me or does he look like a lovechild of Ryan Gosling and Matthew McConaughey? In a good way of course. ;)

I think he should cut his hair. He has a very defined face and as stated above, very intense and captivating eyes. Those features shouldn't be hidden behind messy floppy hair. The hair gives him that dorky cute look, which works, but he can do so much more without it. Just my opinion of course!
