Biography |
Doug Pickett is the hottie on the cover of the worldwide
distributed ad campaign for Ralph Lauren fragrance Blue. His
clean boy-next-door image and the striking resemblance to
young Leonardo DiCaprio increasingly raise public
fanscination to seeking his idenity. Little do people know,
Doug Pickett was still a high school teenager when he was
featued in Ralph Lauren ad campaigns.
Having originally planned to go to college to study
architecture after high school, Doug Pickett got into
modeling when his sister persuaded him to enter a model
search contest in his junior year. And soon Doug Pickett was
beginning as a model for Abercrombie and Fitch. Bruce Weber
who shot A&F introducted him to his first job, as an extra
in an ad for the Ralph Lauren clothing line. His charming,
good-natured looks led to more bookings and Polo shoots.
Doug Pickett's overnight success in modeling business is
attibuted to more than just his good looks, but also a
reflection of his personality and demeanor. While Doug
Pickett was still in high school playing varsity basketball
and shooting for free throws, he had to deal with more than
the usual pressure: a brace of opposition fans chanting
"Cover girl". The nickname is a teasing reference to his
rise to fame as a model, culminating in a starring role in
Ralph Lauren ad campaigns. But Doug remains admirably
unfazed. Ironically, it's this unruffled demeanor that top
photographers like Bruce Weber find so appealing.
Despite this seemingly glamorous existence, Doug is still
enjoys the simple pleasures most: shooting hoops, playing
tennis and, of course, video games. After his high school
graduation in May 2002, Doug Pickett moved to New York to
focus on modeling for the next a few years while taking some
college architecture classes in the city. "But I won't be
there forever," he says. "At the end of the day, I'm a
southern boy. I need greenery!" |
