Many
of us will agree that Robert Pattinson looks more than breathtaking from the
covers of Fashion Magazines and Fashion Campaigns. But when and how his career
as a model started?
Pattinson
began modelling at the age of 12, but his workload began to decrease four years
later. In December 2008, he blamed the lack of modelling work on his masculine
appearance: "When I first started I was quite tall and looked like a girl,
so I got lots of jobs, because it was during that period where the androgynous
look was cool. Then, I guess, I became too much of a guy, so I never got any
more jobs. I had the most unsuccessful modelling career." Pattinson
appeared in the advertising campaign for Hackett's
autumn 2007 collection.
In
November 2010, Pattinson was approached by Burberry to be the face of the their
brand with £1m deal, which he turned down.
In
June 2013, Pattinson was announced as the new face of Dior Homme fragrance and featured in the advertising campaign
titled 1000 LIVES, directed by Romain
Gavras and photographed by Nan Goldin. This campaign has also featured the
track Whole Lotta Love by English rock band Led Zeppelin. Goldin, later
released a book titled Robert Pattinson:
1000 Lives, collection of Pattinson's images from the campaign.
In
January 2016, he appeared in another campaign for Dior Homme shot by German photographer and director Peter
Lindbergh. Next month, he was announced as the first ambassador of Dior Homme Menswear and appeared in
brand's 2016 fall collection campaign shot by Karl Lagerfeld. In 2017, he
continued his association with Dior
and appear in both their fragrance and Menswear 2017 summer collection
campaigns.
