David James Gandy (born 19 February 1980) is an English model. After winning a televised competition, Gandy became a successful model. For several years, Italian designers Dolce & Gabbana featured him in their campaigns and fashion shows. In an industry dominated by skinny males, Gandy's muscular build caused some menswear fashion designers to move to a more masculine standard. The increase in his popularity and name recognition resulted in a broad portfolio of clients, magazine covers, editorial photo shoots, interviews and industry awards.
Having gained a reputation for his personal style, Gandy moved beyond modelling to designing his own range of underwear and lounge-wear for Marks & Spencer. He began writing a blog for British Vogue, car reviews for British GQ and lifestyle articles for Telegraph Men and launched two mobile apps. Gandy has participated in numerous charity projects and fundraisers, including launching "Blue Steel Appeal", his own charity foundation.
