His charming, good-natured looks led to more bookings and Polo shoots.

Joel West

Joel Adam West
(born 6 April 1975 in Indianola, Iowa, USA)

Height: 1.87

Joel West was discovered at a Dairy Queen. A 17-year-old Joel was on his way home from an annual church skiing trip, grabbing a "blizzard" for the road, when a local photographer stopped him and asked if he'd ever thought of becoming a male model. The rest, as they say, is history! His high-school senior-year yearbook also contains some interesting information. Joel was voted 'the biggest brownie', which meant he was the biggest kiss-up to teachers - for the record, Joel disagrees. He was also voted the 'worst driver'. Over the years, he has worked for Calvin Klein, Versace, and Hugo Boss, and has become one of the elite models in the male modelling industry. He was the first male model to land an exclusive contract with Calvin Klein. He has parlayed his modeling career into an acting career, guest-starring on television shows such as "Felicity", "Charmed", and "CSI: Miami", and starring in feature films. On becoming a successful male model, Joel says: 'Confidence is number one. Second, you have to be very focussed and know what you want out of the whole business. And third, a good, positive outlook!'

Height : 1.88 Waist: 81 Chest: 87 Inseam: 34 Suit: 40L Shoes: 44 Collar: 15 Hair: medium brown Eyes: blue

Gandy is best known for starring in Dolce & Gabbana's ad campaign for its fragrance 'Light Blue', in which he gives a memorable appearance wearing little more than a tiny pair of white pants. The ad shows an extremely provocative close-up shot of David in the skimpy briefs as he gives the camera his best seductive stare.

He started modelling in 2001. It was friends who got him into modelling, by posting his photograph to a male model competition. He was taken on by Select Model Management, one of the country’s leading agencies.

Gandy downplays his hype and admits everything has its limits: 'I have been approached by some really great people to do acting. However, I really don't want to be one of those horrid model/actors,' he says. 'I would prefer to know i had some talent before moving on to acting, as I'm just enjoying doing well in the modelling industry at the moment.'
