Born and raised in one of the most beautiful places on the

player. Although his Hockey dream wasn't realized, the tough
Canadian Hockey player mentality drove him to becoming a
fireman. Upon a chance that he drove his girlfriend to
Seattle Washington for the model scouting event hosted by
ProScout, Robert was discovered by one of the scouts there.
In the beginning, male modeling was almost an unthinkalbe
concept to Robert, and the offer was rejected right away.

his family and girlfriend eventually convinced him
otherwise.

face of fragrance Hugo by Hugo Boss. On the following,
Robert represented the sister product of Hugo, Hugo Dark
Blue. The provocative content and sexuality expressed in the
international campaigns of Hugo draw more attention from
designers and the public to his identity, and caused a
dramatic increase in his market value.
All of a sudden, the demand for Robert Perovich has become
so overwhelmingly high, that reportedly there has been a
bidding war between Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana for his
appearance for the Spring 2002 men's wear shows in Milan.

simply doesn't apply to Robert. Robert hasn't been happy
with his New York agencies over the years. After he left
Select Models, Robert signed up with Karin Models in New
York. However, the relationship between Robert and his
booker Will Hill at Karin Models eventually became an
estranged one, and there are different stories from both
parties, which resulted in Robert Perovich's departure for
Wilhelmina models. The chapter of Robert's modeling career
at Wilhelmina models was also short-lived, and his latest
