MEET THE NEW GUY: PIERRE WOODS

It’s been quite the year for Illinois native Pierre Woods... After signing with Ford in Chicago and garnering much success- which included everything from billboards to TV commercials- he turned his attention to New York, or rather New York turned its attention to him. He signed with New York Models in April of last year. He made his debut in Milan, stomping down the runways for D & G and opening the Ferragamo show.

Most recently, though, he has become a favorite over at Ralph Lauren, where he appeared in the Polo by Ralph Lauren fall campaign. That news was quickly followed by an offer to be part of the Olympics campaign - a major feat considering he is the only featured black face. He’s definitely been making waves, so keep your eyes peeled. And when he’s not busy being really ridiculously good-looking and all that entails, you can probably catch him on myspace where he has posted photos from the campaign. Also check out his advertorial feature in the current issue of V Man, on newsstands now.
