I en ny bok, fotograferad av Karl Lagerfeld, och en kortfilm, regisserad av Johan Renck, gör min vän Brad Kroenig från Ford Models i New York reklam för nya Dom Perignon Rosé Vintage 1996.
I filmen checkar Brad in på ett lyxhotell i Paris och hamnar i rummet bredvid Eva Herzigova, sen uppstår – surprise! – en liten romans.
Det är ingen tillfällighet att Karl Lagerfeld använder Brad Kroenig som modell för Dom Perignon-kampanjen, Brad har varit Karls manliga musa i flera år och gjort hans bilder för Chanel och Fendi.
Jag smsar Brad och kollar läget:
Daniel: Hi Brad. I just got the Dom P-book, U look awesome.
Brad: Oh thank you, hope you are well.
Daniel: Where did U shoot it?
Brad: Hotel George V, last spring.
Daniel. Nice. What have U been doin lately?
Brad: Working. Flying back and forth to Paris.
Daniel: We are maybe going to Buenos Aires middle of dec for shooting. Wanna join?
Brad: I would love to go with U guys, we would have so much fun together, you are shooting the whole week there? Like Brazil?
Daniel: Yes. Same kind of trip, have U been in Argentina?
Brad: No. But I heard its amazing, lets go man!
Daniel: They have great meat!
Brad: What kind of meat? Ha ha! Talk to Ford so they dont book me on anything else.

Karl Lagerfeld om Brad: “I wanted a handsome, elegant, chic man – definitely not a silly playboy type. And in this case, too, it had to be him.”
Karl Lagerfeld om Eva Herzigova: “She is beautiful, blonde, radiant, and projects a free-wheeling, carefree spirit that is rare today. It simply had to be her and no one else.”
