Biography |
Will Chalker is in demand because he seems to tie in with
the current mood in menswear: handsome but gentlemanly, well
built and healthy, he marks a move away from fashion's
drawn-out obsession with boyish, sallow androgyny. His
success is more than just a number of appearances in major
designers' campains, which includes YSL, Paul Smith and
Perry Ellis, but the catwalk tasks that Will Chalker was
given - openning and closing for Gucci, John Galliano's
finishing tableau, Athena-poster look for D&G, and walking
along Sonia Rykiel during her show.
Hailing from East Sussex, England, Will Chalker was working
on a construction site before he became a model in 2000.
Thanks to a friend who took some test shots of him to show
round the agencies, Will Chalker had a career changing
opportunity. Since then, Will Chalker has been modelling on
the men's catwalks for nine seasons.
There was a tough beginning in the first two years in terms
of his financial situation and the works available. Once he
learned the ropes of business, Will Chalker was able to be
versitile to meet the demands of different disigners. He has
been successfully modelling full-time for the past two and a
half years.
Chalker's look become popular since 2003 because of the move
in menswear towards dressing up. Designers prefer
recognizable faces in their shows to add some empathy to the
designs. Despite Will Chalker's growing popularity in
fashion today, there has been no public buzz about him. But
we all know that he is a well deserving male supermodel on
the rise.
For now, Chalker seems happy to remain down to earth. He has
a reputation for punctuality and professionalism, and is
enjoying the experience for however long it lasts,
supermodel or not. "I've always liked nice clothes," he
says, "but now I know names I would never have known in the
past. Now I'd still never wear a whole outfit, but the
clothes at places like Gucci or YSL make you feel like a
million dollars." |
