Ignacio Nacho Figueras: A Caballo

A Caballo is a new film from Nowness by photographer and filmmaker Matthew Donaldson, who celebrates the raw power of man and beast by capturing Nacho Figueras on one of his favorite horses in minute detail.  The polo champion spins a sumptuous 180 in Donaldson’s slow-motion epic.  The bronzed Argentine horsemen that swarm Long Island’s polo fields each summer are tall, dark, handsome and, with the globe-trotting, sun-chasing lifestyle their sport afford, indecently glamorous.  The most storied of all these Latin gods is Ignacio (Nacho) Figueras, who with his chiseled jaw, moody brown eyes and tousled locks is not only one of the world’s top 100 polo players, but the face of Ralph Lauren Black Label and Polo fragrances worldwide, and, according to a 2009 issue of Vanity Fair, the second most handsome man in the world.  Born in Argentina, where polo rivals soccer as the national sport, Figueras began playing at the age of eight and became a professional at 17.

He began his secondary career as a model in 2000 after being introduced to legendary fashion photographer Bruce Weber at a dinner party, and found that his raised profile enabled him to be an ambassador in the democratization of polo.  He was the brains behind the annual Veuve Cliquot tournament on Governor’s Island that has introduced the sport to a whole new generation of New Yorkers.

Le Grande Bisou: I Just Can’t Sleep When the Sun Goes Down

Sweden recently legalized same-sex marriage, and to mark that historic event, Swedish techno-house musician Adrian Lux decided to take a different approach to his new music video for Can’t Sleep. Rather than having the music set to the usual images of “sexually arousing girls in bikinis dancing in front of a green screen-cliché” that you always see in dance music videos, Lux decided to have Can’t Sleep tell a subtle romantic story between two men. In his video, the solitary loneliness of a haunting sleepless night is finally broken by a tender, grande bisou.

Happy Gay Pride Week!
