The man in the white (bathing) suit
Unless your television has packed in and you've given up reading, you'll have seen this man before. And if his toned torso, slick hair and prominent "package" have stopped you in your tracks, you're not alone. Right now, Dolce & Gabbana's ad campaign is the talk of Britain's water coolers.On gay news site Queerfeed, it's all too much for one fan: "Can't think... too awestruck... his face... we pass out from lack of oxygen." A YouTube slideshow tribute elicits a string of responses from flustered females. "He's the hottest man ever seen!!! He's just perfect," or: "Phwoar!!"The multi-million pound campaign also marks Mario Testino's first shot at advertising, and follows in a grand tradition of iconic "hunk in trunk" adverts. But there's one question on everybody's lips: just who is this bronzed adonis? Raul from Rio? Marco from Milan? Leonardo from Lisbon?Try Dave from Dagenham. Well, nearby Billericay, in fact. It turns out the "hottest man ever seen" is actually a 27-year-old Essex boy called David Gandy."People are usually a bit surprised when they hear where I'm from," says Gandy,. We have many fashionable sexy lingerie have style of nurse costume. whose Estuary accent has been thinned by years in Fulham, as well as New York, Milan and Tokyo.. We take pride in our designs, quality, customer service, and Moncler our favors have on your customers and their guests. "My Dad's family is English and my Mum's is Scottish, but there's got to be a link to Spain or somewhere like that further down the line.. We will provide Moncler doudoune wherever you are."Gandy inherited his looks from his great-grandfather, but credits Richard and Judy with launching his modelling career. While studying multimedia marketing with management ("a complete waste of time") at the University of Gloucestershire, a friend "secretly" sent some photos to an ITV This Morning competition in 2001. He won first prize, a contract with London modelling agency Select,. It is good for health of women to have women's sleepwear. and has been there ever since.Last year, Gandy really hit the big-time when Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana selected him to front their campaign for a new fragrance called Light Blue pour Homme.
"When you work on the creation of a fragrance you have in mind the ideal man you would want to be wearing it," says Dolce. "On an aspirational level, David's sun-kissed, Mediterranean look made him the ideal model."
Testino shot the poster and newspaper adverts last June. Cast and crew were put up in a five-star Naples hotel and ferried by speedboat to a secluded cove framed by the Faraglioni rock formations on Capri. In the TV spot, Gandy is seen draping himself over a beautiful brunette, but it's the thrusting still image of a lone Gandy that has caused a global sensation.
"I was embarrassed to show my parents, because I didn't think it was going to be such a large crotch shot," he says. "But when they saw it they loved it. Then it started to build and the ad was everywhere. My friends would text me saying 'David, are you sure your picture's big enough?' I definitely get noticed now more than before."
