The military trains its personnel to do battle and so does fashion. The techniques and methods may differ, but the core precepts are the same. What you need is the look; industry will train you as a model. Caesar Stovall a 24-year-old Army medic from South Carolina who has served tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan is now walking the ramp for Givenchy seeing the complete different world without Humvees, car bombs or I.E.D.’s. The website for  models inspired him and he came to New York for test shots with the photographer Joseph Bleu. He is 6-foot-3 and has virtually no body fat. His body showed the attitude what  models need. Soon Mr. Stovall, found himself in the enviable position of being signed to a Givenchy exclusive by the label’s designer, Riccardo Tisci.
A military man turns to be a model is shocking news as rare cases happen.“I had no clue how big of a deal it was,” Mr. Stovall said. “Down where he came from, they don’t say Givenchy,” using its proper French pronunciation (zhee-vahn-shee), “they say Givenchy,” using the hard “g” of give and the hard “ch” of bench. If his luck holds, Mr. Stovall will not be redeployed and will be back in New York for the other shows. Still, he has another audience to consider: the men in his squad. “They tease him a lot about it,” Mr. Stovall said good-naturedly. “‘Oh, here comes a model. ‘But it won’t divert me. That’s another thing I learned from the Army: Stay true to yourself.” He wants to be proud of what he does.
