Simon Nessman has one of those stories you only dream about. You see, Nessman was discovered by his friend’s sister, who was scouting models in Calgary at the time. She sent a few photos of him off, and the rest is history.

After being signed in 2007 with Major Management, it was within 9 months that this 18 year old British Columbian Cutie walked the Narciso Rodriguez show in New York, was featured as model of the week on Models.com (May 07) and appeared in the November issue of French Vogue editorial alongside Lily Donaldson.

Since 2008, Nessman has been photographed by Mario Testino for D&G and Lord & Taylor and in January, he walked the DSquared2 and Louis Vuitton shows in Milan and Paris. Proving to be a busy month for him, January also brought an editorial shot by Kevin O’Brien in Details, as well as another appearance in the spring issue of Numéro Homme, photographed by Matthias Vriens .

Most recently, Nessman has been photographed by Carlotta Manaigo for the fall issue of V Man.
