David Gandy, widely recognised as the world’s first male supermodel, transformed the fashion industry with his classic, muscular look. Known for his iconic campaigns with Dolce & Gabbana, especially the “Light Blue” fragrance ads, David set a new standard for men’s modelling, influencing style trends worldwide.
Expanding his creative reach, David collaborated on collections with Marks & Spencer and Aspinal of London, and is the founder of David Gandy Wellwear, a premium apparel and lifestyle brand focused on luxury and comfort. His enthusiasm for design and quality has established him as a leading figure in British fashion.
David’s passions extend beyond fashion. As a car enthusiast, he’s shared his automotive expertise through his GQ column, “David Gandy Drives.” He’s also devoted to philanthropic work, serving as an ambassador for Wellman Vitamins and a charity ambassador for Battersea Dogs Home.
David’s journey from his Essex roots to the global fashion stage began unexpectedly, when a friend entered him into a televised modelling competition he went on to win. Since then, he’s built a multifaceted career that inspires with its resilience and versatility, embodying a balance of style, entrepreneurship, and social commitment.
