Corey Matthew Saucier was born May 19, 1988 at the St. Joseph's hospital in downtown Houston, Texas. Raised in Spring, Texas, a suburb outside of Houston, Corey's extended family moved from California to Texas right before he was born.

Growing up the active type, Corey join numerous sporting teams from football to baseball and basketball along the way. He stuck with football and baseball up until his freshman year in college, where he attended Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. He then decided to focus all his time on academics -becoming a business management major in the McCoy Business School and having just finished his third year.

Prompted by the urging of friends, Corey put his studies on hold to give modeling a try. He bought himself a ticket to New York and started right away with AIG model management, who introduced him to most of the New York high profile agencies. He then met with DNA model management and from the beginning, felt a connection and decided that it was the "home" for him.

Now associated with DNA model management in New York, Corey is enjoying the industry and looks forward to any overcoming any obstacles in his way so that when he's older, he'll have many stories to tell his grandkids!

Stunningly beautiful, Jamie Gunns credits her unique background as the reason for her smoldering photographic presence-she's half English, a quarter Jamaican, and a quarter Asian Indian, which has blessed her with a tall frame, cinnamon skin, and deep captivating brown eyes. Born in South London, it was apparent from an early age that Jamie was destined for a life in front of the cameras-she was first scouted at the age of fourteen while on holiday in Spain with her family. A year later, she joined the books at Premier and started modeling part time. Within the first few months of castings and jobs, it quickly became apparent that Jamie's career in the modeling industry would be in fact, full time.

Most recently, Jamie has appeared in both the Roberto Cavelli campaign, shot by Ellen von Unwerth, and the Mariela Brioni campaign. In addition, she has appeared in some of the industry's best magazines, including Japanese Vogue, Tank, and Elle, working with photographers such as Ellen von Unwerth and Steven Klein. On the runway too, Jamie had an impressive breakout season-she walked for Betty Jackson, Boyd, and Michiko Koshino during London Fashion Week.

Jamie grew up loving art and painting, as is thankful that the modeling industry has continued to keep interesting and creative people around her. She still lives in South London, and when her modeling career slows down (which, with the way her career is going now, probably won't happen any time soon), Jamie is contemplating going to Art College or perhaps study fashion.

Brian Shimansky is 22 years old and was born and raised in West Caldwell, NJ.

As a kid growing up, he was always involved in sports and various outdoor activities. His current hobbies and interests include baseball (pitched 4 years in college and currently coaches for his former high school team), fishing, hiking, mountain biking, and snowboarding.

His modeling career began shortly after he graduated Magna Cum Laude from Western New England College in Springfield, MA where he studied finance and economics. He was approached by a model scout at a John Mayer concert and within a week, he was meeting with prospective agencies. The rest is (recent) history…

After beginning his career last Fall he has shot Abercrombie & Fitch with Bruce Weber. To highlight a few he shot L'officiel Hommes in Paris with Milan Vukmirovic, Hercules Magazine with Gianpaolo Sgura (pictured here), and V Man with Bruce Weber.

He has enjoyed traveling and meeting new people in the fashion industry.

She won a $250,000 two-year contract with Ford Models on top of the $150,000 contract she signed when she won Ford Supermodel Brazil back in November.

We think Tayane is stunning and has a super-bright future ahead of her.

Kerry Degman, one of the featured models in the Armani Exchange Spring '09 campaign, was born in Portland, Oregon and is the second oldest of eight loud, outgoing children.

He first signed with Portland’s Mode Models, but unsure of a career in modeling, enrolled in college to pursue his major league baseball dream.

Four knee surgeries later, fate intervened and Kerry found himself in the major leagues of modeling. Signing with Major Model Management, Kerry quickly moved to New York City and immediately began testing with area photographers. Tests led to magazine covers of Tetu and Out. Immediately, bloggers took note and Kerry found himself shooting with the likes of super-photographers Tom Munro, Bruce Weber, and Steven Klein.

Kerry has appeared in Pop, L'Uomo Vogue, GQ, GQ Style, L'Officiel Hommes and Arena Hommes Plus.
