Shaun Dewet

South african Male model Shaun Dewet from Johannesburg, South Africa

The face of Calvin Klein fragrance Truth, the exclusive model representing Hugo Boss, and the man of Yves Saint Laurent alongside Christy Turnington, Shaun DeWet has become one of the hottest and the most sought after stars in the industry.
It's been a long way for Shaun to rise to the top since the age of 17, when he was first discovered in Cape Town, South Africa. Before he became the cover boy of Calvin Klein, Shaun DeWet had appeared in many other campaigns, including Fila, Lacoste, Bjorn Borg and Tommy Jeans. Now a popular on the runways in the world's fashion capitals and one of the most desirable flesh in the business, Shaun DeWet is constantly working for such high profile designers as Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Hugo Boss, and numerous others.
There was this anti-male modeling article in New York Times titled "Want to Be a Male Model? Wear a Real Face" written by Ginia Bellafante. Here is what she had to say about Shaun DeWet's image in Truth: "The man in the ad looks as if he might think a 401(k) is something swallowed late at night on a dance floor with a margarita. His nose is long and straight, his lips are pneumatic and his chest is so glistening and unmarred it calls to mind a hockey rink that has just been smoothed over by a Zamboni."
The intention of her writing is apparently attacking and trying to make a mockery of male models, but the description is almost precise and undeniably admits Shaun's powerful image and his attraction to the public.
Besides the mass exposure from Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss and YSL, Shaun DeWet was also featured in Hush Puppies and Holt Renfrew, and can be seen on the covers and the inside spreads of some the most influential male fashion magazines, including Arena Homme Plus, Details and L'uomo.
