We knew that Marlon Teixeira had landed the Dior Homme summer 2009 campaign, and we were looking forward to discover it. Well, here it is! Marlon wears Kris Van Assche’s latest creations, and is photographed by Karl Lagerfeld. And all of you Marlon fans rejoice! More Dior campaigns featuring your favorite Brazilian model are to come in 2009.

Also in the gallery: one outtake of the November shooting with Karl.

Belgian designer Kris Van Asche — who worked with Hedi Slimane for 3 years — was showing his first collection as Dior Homme art director. “Of course the clothes look fantastic on the pictures, but what’s most beautiful is the sensual and tender way Nan captured the boys’ machismo,” Van Asche told Rodeo. Drop-dead gorgeous Marlon Teixeira was among the young machos (above). The Brazilian top model will be the face of the next Dior Homme campaign.

Remember Terron Wood losing control in Spanish magazine Hercules? Well, here is another editorial from the same issue, titled ‘A kind of Magic’, starring veteran – but still amazingly sharp – Brazilian top model Evandro Soldati photographed by Doug Inglish (above).

Also in the gallery below, more pictures from the cover editorial ‘You Better Work’ by Giampaolo Sgura, featuring the unstoppable Marlon Teixeira (below, top right), Terron Wood, Tyson Ballou and Spanish model Andrés Segura (below, top left) — who’s rumored to be quite cosy with Kylie Minogue.

Publishing a special issue entirely dedicated to the male body without Marlon Teixeira would have been a cosmic blunder, and so not L’Officiel Hommes, right? Well, not only did they ask Milan Vukmirovic to shoot a huge editorial featuring the Brazilian model, but they also invited Sean O’Pry to top it off — and called the brilliant result ‘Fur’ious’.
