Matthias Vriens is a photographer for The New York Times and The Face and dozens of other magazines, and he‘s art director of the Jil Sander ad campaign. He was born and raised in Amsterdam, right around the corner from where I live. The first time we met was two years ago, when I was writing about his spectacular rise from ballet dancer to chief editor of fashion magazine Dutch, to art director at Armani and The Gucci Group. Now he makes photos and he lives in New York City. He‘s kind of obsessed by boys and sex, at least judging from his photos, and we met again in Paris, where we started speaking Dutch until he kind of kept looking for the right words.
