Supermodel Marcus Schenkenberg is the latest superstar male model to sign contracts to star in his hour long feature episode in the 2021 Netflix Series “BLUE STEEL – RISE OF THE MALE SUPERMODEL”.
Marcus Schenkenberg is a name deeply ingrained into the male modelling industry even some 3 decades after his debut. Schenkenberg made a dramatic entrance into the industry, barrelling into a world dominated by females and introducing to the world a new species – the male supermodel. Oozing sex appeal and charisma like no male before him, he certainly made his mark.
Born in Sweden It didn’t take long for the Schenkenberg version of the American Dream to begin to coalesce. He arrived in the US with his best friend and after living the vagabond lifestyle for a while he eventually settled in the famed Hollywood Hills, California where he worked as a nanny. The job allowed him the time to go rollerblading on the picturesque Venice Beach where he was discovered by photographer Barry King. His first big break came courtesy of legendary photographer Bruce Weber who put the name Marcus Schenkenberg on everybody’s radar with a 116 page ad campaign for Calvin Klein in Vanity Fair. Firmly cemented as one of the stars of this growing industry, Schenkenberg had the honour of becoming the first man on the cover of fashion magazine, Harper’s Bazaar. He also featured on the cover of the 1st ever Boss Models calendar.
Since making his splash into the industry, Schenkenberg has gone onto work with some of the biggest names in fashion from iconic designers to top models. Some of the designers he can boast working for include Calvin Klein, Valentino, Gianni Versace, Donna Karan and Armani while his face and body has been a mainstay on the glossy pages of magazines from Harper’s Bazaar to Vogue and more.
Furthermore, he can count as his colleagues and co-stars some of the most recognisable supermodels in the world, including Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford and Kate Moss, a list of modelling talent that would make the models of today weep.
