Many of you may recognize Rick Genest from his cameo in Lady Gaga's "Born this Way" Video, or perhaps you've seen him on the runway for Mugler... or maybe you've seen him in Fashion Editorial spreads like this one! Recently Rick Genest joined forces with Nicola Formichetti and Mugler and since he has become a sensation all his own. The reality is that Rick is a walking work of art as he is primarily known for his insane tattoos which have garnered him the name "Zombie Boy"

On the latest issue of Schön Magazine we can see "Zombie Boy's" face! or at least a part of it. His face appears tattoo-less which I think reveals some of Rick's personality. My girlfriend is a stylist and assisted Nicola Formichetti with wardrobe during the "Born this Way" video shoot and she described Rick as being a bit quiet and serious from a distance, but really cool and down to earth once you start talking to him. In this last shot especially we can see most of Rick's face uncovered, which I think shows a much softer side. Anyway... Isn't this a great shoot? What do yo guys think?
