HAPPY BIRTHDAY REMI!!!!

Apart from what is special about this face; the perfect skin, the high cheekbones, the piercing gaze - that all make it a killer 'model face' is the person behind those eyes. Behind those eyes is a man who is a risk-taker but tempered by wisdom; a man who loves his family and friends and someone who makes your life just that perfect amount of shades brighter; just by being a part of it- to know REMI is to know one of the youngest 'old souls' you'll ever meet- fun without being juvenile and wise without being archaic. Adding just the right amount of 'magic' whether on the catlwalk; on a billboard; in a magazine; or simply in our lives; Remi The Magician is at it again...

On this your birthday- as each birthday since we've met you we want to let you and the world know what an honour it is to know you; to work with you; to represent you as both an Agent and Friend; HAPPY BIRTHDAY REMI ALADE-CHESTER!!!

REMI! The Legend Continues...

Ever so often we need to remind you what we do...making STARS is what we do. It wouldn't be fair however to let your appetite go unsatisfied- here's the PROOF in the PUDDING.

REMI continues to RISE and while others require the arsenal of an iPhone and a pose; Remi is no poser, he out there making bread!

Might as well change his address to "Sky" because he always on a plane- to somewhere- from somewhere...and it all started in BARBADOS, because in Barbados at GADAL, STARS are what we make!

God's blessings on REMI...

Just a glimpse of what Remi has been up to...

Remi for Levis Jeans

Jeans will always be in! No matter what the pundits say...from children to centenarians nothing escapes the jean. It's the brand however (with hundreds to choose from) that separates the fashion-wannabes from the fashionista;   never one to miss a moment here is Gadal's very own Remi showing how it's done in the latest selection from Levis. 

Visit their website and salivate at will!

Remi shoots with Richard Gerst

A good Model is able to show versatility and range. Remi Chester who's known for his immaculate stride  down many catwalks (New York Fashion Week being the latest), shooting editorials for the likes of UPTOWN Magazine, Prestige Hong Kong, Nom de Guerre and doing commercials for Target and Adidas hits us with yet another great accomplishment. Here Remi is showcased by Principle New York photographer Richard Gesrt, who shows a more playful dimension to him.

Now Richard is no easy cookie either and is quite the "photographic over-achiever" with work too numerous to mention on just one blog. His last major project (at the time of publishing of this article) was an editorial for Vogue-India, with actress Anisha Nagarajan of NBC fame.
