*(BERLIN) *Until being discovered on MySpace by Gaga stylist and
Mugler creative director *Nicola Formichetti,* *Rick Genest* was just
your average twentysomething living in Canada with a penchant for
tattoos. Suddenly, he became the most talked-about model on the Paris
runways. Next up? Berlin, of course. BY ASHLEY BAKER
*We understand that you only recently got a passport…so is this your
first time to Berlin?*I was in Berlin last month for a short project,
but this time I'm doing a number of projects related to Berlin
Fashion Week. I'll be here for a week.
*What impressions do you currently have about the city?*I can feel
that Germans are super-cultured and have a strong appreciation for
fashion. Berlin seems to be a very cool place with good underground
stuff. I'm looking forward to this experience.
*What are you excited to see while you're in **town?*I'm open to
whatever comes my way. It'll all be good.
*What do you expect to see at Berlin Fashion Week? *Meeting and
working with talented and interesting people!
*How would you describe 'fashion people?'*Wow! They are risk
takers!
*Who is your favorite German?*Mozart, Einstein, Claudia, Heidi, Boris,
Steffi!
*How did you get hooked up with Stüssy to DJ* *their party?*Our agent
in Berlin!
*Who are your go-to designers in terms of **what you wear every
day?*Honestly, I'm a real DIY fan so I try to stick to 'Stuff by
Rico.' Pants, shirts, vests, caps and boots are in my zone.
*How has your life changed since you were approached by Nicola to
appear in his Mugler show and the Gaga video?*More travel. I'm also
getting involved in projects involving acting, music,
endorsements…more mainstream stuff.
*Who came up with the term 'Zombie Boy?'*The media, actually.
*You like?*I'm good with it.
*How do you think the Berliners will feel about your body art?*I think
they are very cool, and they understand the artistic side of my body
art.
*Exactly how many tattoos do you have?*I like to think of this as one
large tattoo!
*Any new ones on the horizon?*Yeah. I'm finishing the backs of my
legs now!
*Are you working on any other projects?*Wow! Endorsements, a
documentary film, and a cool music project are now in the works. And
we are doing a live sideshow in April. I'm really psyched about the
next four months!
