MODEL MONDAY: RICK GENEST "THE ZOMBIE BOY"

Rick Genest (born August 7, 1985) is a Canadian artist and fashion model. He is also known as Zombie Boy for being tattooed like a corpse across the majority of his body. Creating the tattoos took him 3 years & left him homeless. & that's when the magic happened, Lady Gaga's fashion director (and Mugler's creative director) Nicola Formichetti discovered Rick and this resulted in the menswear show, something not originally planned. His discovery also influenced Formichetti on the collection itself.
On February 27, 2011, Rick was featured in Lady Gaga's video for "Born this way", with Lady Gaga wearing makeup to replicate Genest's tattoos.










& this is Rick without his tattoos (he's still cute but I think he's stunning with all of his ink)


Just look at his smile!
