Swide Magazine by Dolce&Gabbana

Marian Vivanco's book “UOMINI” is still under the spotlights! After Christopher Landon and Sam Way, it's Luis Kelling's turn to share his secrets with Swide readers... Online dating? Nudity? Love? All after the click.

 

1.When and where were you born? 14th dec 1987 in Munich/Germany

2. Where do you live? Munich

3. What's your favourite activity in your city?  Im a sports freak, so thats my most and favourite activity, like running in the english garden. But apart I really like the beerferstival, even if I dont really drink, but its great to see millions of people in the traditional bavarian outfits, its always fun and Im already looking forward for the next one!

4. Which part is the most important one in a man's body? For me shoulders are important, sign of masculinity

5. In a woman's body? Long legs

6. What kind of a relation do you have with nudity? Im having a normal relationship to nudity, its ok if some people see me naked but not everyone. Even in the gym I just shower in the cabins. Nudity on one side is of course beautiful, everyone wants to have his/her bf/gf naked around all day, but on the other side its also very personal, which you dont like to share with everyone.

7. What are your worst qualities? Its sometimes hard for me to let things just happen, as I mostly want to have control about everything

8. What do you think about online dating and Facebook?  Facebook is great, me myself Im addicted to it, but its mostly to stay in touch with everyone when you meet many people in different countries. But I see it with my friends, its more and more popular to start a relationship through fb. It makes things really easy, for example, I leave a party, next day someone added me on fb, then Im just wondering why this person didnt talk to me at the party, but after via fb. I personally wouldnt do online dating, but for many shy people fb is THE chance to find a partner or friends or whatever

9. Do you play videogames? Favourite? Never played videogames, so not intrested in

10. Three words about the Milan’s Men Fashion Week? milan men fashion week: CROWDED ( too many models), BUSY ( castings, fittings, shows), FANTASTIC ( designers like Dolce and Gabbana)

11. Three words about Milan as city? historic, fashion, sports

12. About Paris (as city)? romantic, cultural, french

13. New York (as city)? busy, dreams, stars

14. The most important film of your life? When I saw Inception it was just mind blowing, after I didnt know what to think, whats gonna happen in the future, if people have control about you etc..

15. What’s love for you? For me love indicates a passion to die for, to be obsessed with someone/ something

16. What are the priorities of humanity in 2011 according with you? As everyone just cares about his own bank account, I take the wish that people dont just judge you about how much money you have. Just a little interest in people around you, for your family, your friends, collegues and also for the nature.

17. Who are the all times artists that you most like? That would be Michael Jackson

18. How were those pictures for UOMINI shot with Mariano Vivanco? Before the shoot for UOMINI I was at the fitting for the Dolce Gabbana show, after Mr Dolce send me to Mariano, I didnt know him and didnt know what to expect. But from the very first second we had the right connection, so after literally 10 seconds he asked me to get naked for the shoot. I wasnt sure about that, but everything was so so right, that I jumped out of my clothes, we were outside in the garden, the weather was perfect and we shot one after the other. BAM! That was the best shoot in my life and Im very impressed when I saw he pictures, Mariano has put so much energy, confidence and effort in it, that even I got naked, who usually always has pants on. Im still smiling when I think back, this shoot with Mariano I will never forget...
