A model’s view
D’office Threads interview with Michael Heppner
1. Your back ground
Southern raised with a European bloodline. Raised on the Florida-Georgia line. I am a mixture of sweet-southern-charm and European genetics. I recenetly relocated to Southern California to pursue my dreams of becoming a model. After 4 months of applying to agencies I was signed and hit the ground running. A lot of people say I look a lot like David Bowie and I'm proud to favor such an iconic fashion Idol.
2. Your achievements
I was featured in Elegant Magazine florida, Wire Magazine in Florida. I was promotion model for Blackstone Apparel, O2God Apparel, in Florida and most recently I was selected as the poster boy for Out which is a no hate campaign in Southern California. I just completed an international editorial for Merve Optics Eye Wear out of Turkey.
3. What do you have planned for the future
I plan to book as many shoots as possible and continue to develop and work my way to the runways of New York, Paris, and Milan as top Fashion Model. Then I plan to focus on acting.
4. As a model, what tips would you give men to help them with taking good care of themselves to improve their image?
Take care of your skin, wear sunscreen, eat clean and exercise. Be cautious of who you shoot with and what you allow to be posted online. Protect your career and always show up to a shoot prepared and ready to work.
5. What type of clothes to you think flatter men best to wear?
I think men should wear what makes them feel good about themselves. For me i feel sexiest in my rugged outdoor casual type look. Im normally in worn in denim, a deep V neck tee and a cozy sweater in the winter. A tank and shorts in the summer. Even though I'm pretty casual I believe that every man should own every mans wardrobe feel, even though every man should own a well tailored suit.
6. Also what do you think men should avoid wearing?
• Men should avoid the trap of being overly casual. Dressing causal and dressing sloppy are entirely different. There is a way you can wear a pair of sweat pants and make it sexy, but just rolling out of bed and going out like that is a big NO.

• 7. What style of clothing do you prefer to wear everyday?
• Im normally in worn in denim, a deep V neck tee. I love denim so all types of denim jeans. When it comes to shoes i love boots, dress shoes, and my converse chuck Taylor's.

• 8. What is your favourite item of clothing?
• Right now I love my floral drop crotch pants! Yes it true.
