Product design engineer and model Luca Lemaire is one of the most captivating faces out of Belgium today. Having often collaborated with the masterful image-maker Willy Vanderperre in the past, it feels most natural that the latest issue of Vanderperre’s single model zines is devoted to the brooding Bruxellois.

The "/12" series is nearing its last instalment, with Lemaire as the eleventh subject of twelve among a line-up including other muses suchs as Clément Chabernaud, Mica Argañaraz, Julia Nobis, Abbey Lee Kershaw and Natalie Westling. In this exclusive publication, Luca poses nude or in an archive 1996 Raf Simons turtleneck - being one of Raf's model stalwarts, Lemaire just closed the blustering Calvin Klein AW18 show in New York.
The release comes right ahead of the opening of Willy Vanderperre’s major new London exhibition " prints, film, posters and more" opening February 17 at 180 The Strand, not to be missed.
