Eddie Klint in GQ Style Russia

I think it takes a certain look, and even a different type of personality, to pull off pastel pink and still manage to appear brooding and pensive. I think Eddie Klint has that quality - the same reason why I wrote about him before, alongside one of my poems.

Surround him with roses, and he still appears masculine.

This jacket is harder to carry than it looks.

There is something poignant about this picture. Soft, but sharp as a thorn.

This would be my ideal Sunday garb, down to every single piece.

There is something cinematic about Eddie Klint.

He can bring out a plot from any of these scenes.

Eddie Klint + Transit

Transit

It was after supper
when our family rode the tram
back to the city—to the streets
and the lights and to sleep.
I was at the window seat
pressing my head against the glass
as I usually did to look outside.





I saw you leaning against your window
your seat facing us
on your side of the tram.
You were gazing outside
the lights zooming past your eyes
stilled as if by the speed of the wind
and the blankness of uninterrupted light.
Then you looked at me
like a gaping hole





as if you understood
that after supper
walking out of the tavern
with music trailing our stride
under lamplights
I felt as empty as the streets.







And I wondered how much of it you saw
but you turned back to your window
and stared through the darkness.



The streetlamps stood still.

I wrote "Transit" years back. The gaze of Eddie Klint reminds me of that encounter, the way his eyes look at you, but look through and past you.

Intense but at the same time aloof, masculine yet boyish. I am certain this mystery about him is what drew Miuccia Prada to place him as the face of the label's shows and campaigns in the past seasons.

Scars: Update on Eddie Klint

Eddie Klint looks feline in this recent shoot. Alright, so it's easy to throw so many words about a model's looks, since, after all, he is a model. But things don't seem as simple with Eddie Klint.

Something draws you in but at the same time makes you look away. Suffering is two-sided.

Again, the topic is scars. But unlike French actor Gaspard Ulliel, Eddie Klint's features appear more lived in, more affected by everyday things.

Very much, perhaps, like his jeans.
