David Gandy covers 'Sch�n!' Magazine

 'Sch�n!' Magazine #16 issue (February 2012)

Sch�n Magazine Feb 2012

Male supermodel David Gandy is effortlessly captured by photographer Dimitris Theocharis as the perfect effigy of brooding masculinity in this darkly dramatic shoot. A statuesque David is reminiscent of a Greek warrior, his stance projects such strength but we still see brief glimpses of vulnerability in this photo series, which itself is spectacular in its sobriety.

Theocharis has established a muted palette by sapping out all excess colours leaving room for piercing blue and black ensembles from the Dior Homme line, HUGO by Hugo Boss, Alexander McQueen and Maison Martin Margiela, creating steely tones that seem to reflect Gandy�s unflinching gaze, which is almost paralysing in its intensity.

Sch�n magazine interview feb 2012

Mr. Gandy

Over a decade ago a chance appearance on a morning television competition stripped, a then twenty one year old, David Gandy�s bound anonymity and set him up for a life of jet-setting, trend-making, male-modelling stardom.
The Essex boy was thrown in at the deep end of a modelling whirlpool that was, at the time, characterised by wafer thin androgynes clinging onto the tail feathers of heroin chic, however, after much determination and in the face of adversity he reinstated the desire and demand for the cassically good-looking male model.
His strength of presence, chiseled physique, piercing blue eyes and smouldering demeanour has catapulted his career and gained him international successes. Given the opportunity to ask Mr. Gandy a few questions Sh�n! learnt that he is far more than just a pretty face.

In 2001 you won a modelling competition on ITV�s This Morning. Looking back, what was your reaction when you first entered the industry?

My knowledge of the modelling industry was very limited. I suppose looking back I had the same clich�d views as many people do. Even though there is no much written about fashion, the actual industry is quite guarded in many ways and is almost mysterious to many people. You then realize once in the industry it is very different to how it appears. However when I first entered I certainly saw the possibilities for me. The biggest appeal to me is that one day is never the same as the last. It has such diversity. The people, the travelig, the creatives; it all makes for an exciting, if some what unpredictable, journey.

A coffee table book, published by Dolce & Gabbana, covers your life, success and passions. How did you find the experience? Could you share some extracts for Sch�n! Magazine readers?

When Dolce & Gabbana first introduced the idea of the book I was just honoured. I view the book very differently from other people who see it, as every picture, even if it�s from the same shoot has a different story to tell. In many ways I felt people would think this book was a little �too much� and something I didn�t deserve and I was certainly conscience of this. The only scruple was that we made no money from the book and it went all to charity, which it does.

You are a contributor for style guide for men and Vogue magazine, sharing your tips on style, for this iPhone App you also interview influential people in the fashion world. How would you describe your journey from a model to an influential stylist?

People approached me about many ideas for iPhone apps, all of which I wasn�t willing to be a part of. But there were two ideas I had wanted to pursue for a while, one being the style guide and the other being a fitness nutrition guide (out later this year)

I am not an influential stylist. I would like to think I am a little influential in what I wear and hoy I style myself but I could never come up with the constant new ideas and concepts that the best stylists do. I believe fashion can be very elitist and snobby and many people on the outside who have no involvement in fashion also believe this. This is why hopefully I appeal to those people.

Previously you have starred in a moving short film �Away We Stay� with Helena Christensen. How did you find this experience? Do you see yourself doing more acting in the future?

I was cast for the short 3 days before, so very much chucked in at the deep end, but I adored the experience. I have been offered the chance of other roles but nothing that I believe would have interested me or pushed me. I do not for a minute presume that just because I am  model that I can act. However if a part came up that I liked I would drop everything and dedicate myself to it.

You have showed interest in working with charities. What is your role as an Ambassador at Battersea Dogs and Cats Chariry?

As my profile has grown I believe I can prove much more of use to charities. This year I am focusing on 3. I am again working with Oxfam, for which I ran the London marathon last year, this year we are trekking in Nepal to raise money. I am also starting my own charity/foundation under the Comic Relief Charity and as you said I have become the first ever Ambassador for Battersea Cats and Dogs home.

So it would seem that David Gandy has the whole package: a philanthropic dog loving do-gooder, business headed determinist and a stylish app creating hunk. Who said that models are just normal people?

Here is the transcription of the interview if you want to translate it into different languages. This interview was conducted by Simona de Gregorio during Milan Fashion Week Menswear Fall/Winter 2012/13 at Metropol in Milan, on January 14, 2012 in the VIP Room at the Dolce & Gabbana show.
---------------------

La bellezza sar� anche una cosa soggettiva. Ma nel caso di David Gandy � un dato di fatto. Il top model inglese, da cinque anni volto (ma soprattutto corpo) di Dolce & Gabbana per il profumo Light Blue, � davvero da perdere il fiato. Lo incontro allo spazio Metropol di Milano al termine della sfilata uomo della griffe, dove per una volta non � in passerella ma nel parterre. Completo blu, con pochette che spunta dal taschino, mi viene incontro e mi saluta con un �Hi� stringendomi la mano. Svengo. I neuroni sono in tilt, insieme agli ormoni che girano a mille (meno male che mi sono scritta le domande). Ha uno sguardo ipnotizzante. Il mio invence sembra uno scanner. Immagino sotto la gicca bicipiti e pettorali, quelli che sfoggia nello spot, quando vestito di sole mutande riemerge dalle acque di Capri. Deglutisto e comincio.

David, che cosa sarebbe accaduto di lei se nella sua vita non fossero entrat Dolce & Gabbana?

�In realt� facevo gi� il modello, m ero uno tra tanti. Con loro ho potuto fare campagne internazionali, diventare un�icona, collaborare con i pi� grandi creativi del mondo. Un bel colpo di fortuna�.

Per rappresentare la nuova fraganza The One Sport Dolce & Gabbana hanno scelto Adam Senn. Non si sente un po�scalzato?

�Adam e io siamo amici da tempo. Abbiamo look differenti e le campagne sono molto diverse. Sonn felice che anche lui abbia avuto questa opportunit�. C�� posto per tutti�.

Ma la carrera del top model prima o poi finisce. Ha gi� un piano B?

�Ci sono modelli, soprattutto negli Usa, che hanno una carriera molto lunga. Esattamente come succede alle nostre colleghe donne. Pensi a Naomi Campbell: � ancora in pista. Comunque lavorare con Dolce & Gabbana apre tante porte e offre gradi possibilit� per il futuro�.

Mi sembrava di aver tetto che il suo obiettivo fosse entrare nel cinema...

�Non propio. Fare l�attore � un mestiere difficile, richiede attitudine e talento. Bisogna studiare sodo, prepararsi. Se mi capitasse l�occasione giusta la prenderei, ma non la inseguo�.

E cosa insegue?

�Sono un tipo molto irrequieto, non riesco mai a stare fermo. In questo momento sono impegnato in un progetto di charity per finanziare l�istruzione dei bambini africani�.

Lei ha anche un blog che cura personalmente. 

�� il mio punto di vista sulla moda, per avvicinare le persone a un mondo che non conoscono�.

Di sicuro sar� seguitissimo dalle donne...

�Si, eccome. Peccato che la maggior parte delle cose che mi scrivono non siano pubblicabili (ride)�.

Non le � mai capitato di sentirsi un uomo oggetto?

�Certo. Moi modelli venimo ritenuti una caategoria inferiori rispetto alle colleghe donne. Quando sei nei backstage o negli shooting fotografici non ti chiamano nemmeno per nome. Ti dicono: �Ehi tu viene qui�. Oppure ridacchiano e fanno commenti poco carini su di te�.

Lei � anche un�icona gay. Immagino avr� ricevuto avances da uomini.

�Si, su Internet spesso mi scrivono complimenti, perlopi� pesanti. Ma quello che mi spaventa sono i regali decisamente imbarazzanti che ogni tanto mi recapitano a casa. Tipo alcuni fotomontaggi mi ritraggono... vi lascio immaginare�.

Nellaa sua carriera ha lavorato con le top model pi� famose del mondo. Chi l�ha colpita?

�Christie Thurlington. � una donna molto semplice, alla mano. Un�icona che non se la tira per niente�.

Oggi, oltre ai modelli, nelle campagne vengono utilizzati attori e attrici. Cosa ne pensa?

�� del tutto naturale. Le griffe vogliono andare sul sicuro puntando sulle celebrities che creano un forte richiamo e sono facilmente riconoscibili�.

Tra i testimonial famosi c�� anche David Beckham, che dopo aver posato per Emporio Armani Underwear, or ha una linea di intimo per H&M...

�Non vedo cosa ci sia di male. La moda deve arrivare a tutti ed essere alla portata di tutte le tasche. Per quanto riguarda Beckham, lui � un�industria, potrebbe disegnare qualsiasi cosa e venderebbe. A me � stato poposto diverse volte di creare delle collezione me, ma non erano progetti interessanti�.

A una carriera ormai avviata, ora pu� aggiungere un altro successo: una fidazata. E sembra pazzo di lei, tanto da aver dichiarato a un magazine inglese che starete insieme per sempre.

�Non nego di essere fidanzato e di stare molto bene con Mollie ( King, cantante della band The Saturdays). Per il resto consiglio di non dare mai retta alla stampa inglese, sono abilissimi nell�inventare le cose. Specie se uno, come nel mio caso, non parla della sua vita privata�.

Non dovesse durare, c�� sempre Madonna. � noto che ha un debole per i modelli.

�� vero, ma non � il mio tipo. Anche se, si sa, lei ottiene sempre quello che vuole!�.
