Photographed by Mariano Vivanco, British Top model David Gandy poses for the May cover story of Vanity Fair España. Talking about redefining the role of models for himself personally, Gandy reflects on his career, sharing “People had this image of models…they were silent. I was the first who came and said: I am a model, I want to be a brand and am willing to talk about my work. Before me none had been interviewed on prime time. How do you expect people not to have preconceived ideas? This was a kind of tiny and secretive business.” Talking about Forbes and its regular lists compiling how much models make, Gandy confesses “One time we wanted to find out how they knew what we earned each year. And they responded. ‘We make it up.’ That list is the biggest lie I’ve read about myself. It is complete rubbish.”
