How a Male Supermodel Quietly Became The Greatest Of All Time — Mark Vanderloo

He was studying history at the University of Amsterdam when he accompanied his girlfriend to a photoshoot and got scouted instead. Four months later he was an international sensation. By 1995 he was the face of Hugo Boss, walking 50 shows per fashion week — a number that has never been matched. He inspired the character of Derek Zoolander. He became the face of Commander Shepard in Mass Effect. He survived an industry that ate everyone around him. While male supermodels of his era died, disappeared, or were discarded, Mark Vanderloo simply kept working — through five decades, three continents, and every shift in fashion since 1992. This is the story of the most quietly successful male supermodel of all time.
