David James Gandy (born 19 February 1980) is an English model and creative director who began his career after winning a televised model-search competition. Widely regarded as the most successful male model of all time,[5] Gandy is both the highest-grossing male model in history as well as the only male to feature on the Forbes list of the world's highest-paid models more than once. The lead male model for Dolce & Gabbana for over a decade, Gandy is now the creative director of his eponymous brand.
In an industry dominated by skinny models, Gandy's muscular build caused some menswear fashion designers to change standards.[6] The increase in his popularity and name recognition resulted in a broad portfolio of magazine covers, editorial photo shoots, interviews and industry awards. He has gone on to participate in fashion-related and personal projects such as writing a blog for British Vogue, writing car reviews for British GQ, mobile app development and charity work.
