SEAN MEYER
"A STRONG NETWORK IS KEY"
MEET 24 YEAR OLD SEAN MEYER, A YOUNG AMBITIOUS MAN WHO IS CURRENTLY SIGNED TO NEVS MODELS.
WHAT BRINGS SEAN FROM AUSTRALIA TO LONDON?
I left a lot behind in Australia. Family, friends and a solid job. Long story short back in 2016 just before my 21st birthday I nearly had a high-speed head-on car crash whilst working early hours on my job. It was a bit of a wake-up call for me and from that day on I promised myself that I would chase my dreams and make sure every day counts. I really wanted to see if I could make it as a model in London so I saved my money, got my British passport and moved to London in April 2018. It’s funny even though I really wanted to chase this dream, actually committing to the move wasn’t easy. I was actually sent to a remote mine site in the North West of Australia (the desert lol!) to manage 5 salt export shipments to Japan. In the 10 nights, I spent up there I kind of disconnected myself from everything and spent time meditating and thinking about where I was going with life. That was when I finally booked my flight out to London & said fuck it I have nothing to lose! Now I’m here with no regrets and things are going well.
WHAT’S IN YOUR SURVIVAL KIT?
I’m not going to lie I’m a straight up pretty boy so I have to have my essentials for skin care. My go to is a face cream I get from Australia which has rosehip oil and tea tree oil. I use that shit religiously! I have to have water of course! Hydration is key.
My iPhone and charger...gotta stay connected.
EXPLAIN HOW THE CHANGE HAS AFFECTED YOUR LIFE.
I would say it’s given me an insight into what being male model entails. Everything from the castings to the networking and actually carrying out the jobs. I quickly worked out that building a strong network is key and also you really need to create a unique brand for yourself which separates you from the crowd. There’s a lot of competition out here so you really have to hustle to make it!
WHAT DID IT TAKE FOR YOU TO REALIZE MOVING TO LONDON WAS THE RIGHT CHOICE?
I would say my first big booking which was for a fashion show at the Puma HQ in Germany. That kind of got me really pumped up and gave me a taste of what it was like to be a male model out here in London. I remember having dinner on the rooftop of my apartment watching the sunset the night before I had to fly out to Germany. I thought to myself “damn I’m so glad I committed to this move”. Since then there has been a heap of other experiences that have reassured me that I made the right move.
“I MADE THE RIGHT MOVE”
WHAT ARE 3 WORDS TO DESCRIBE SEAN TODAY?
HUSTLER, LOVER & FIGHTER.
WHAT ARE YOU HOPING TO ACHIEVE BY THE END OF 2018?
Career wise I would have to say doing a runway & campaign for a high end fashion brand like Burberry, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Louis Vuitton or Versace. I always focus on being both physically and mentally healthy. They often come hand in hand. Making sure I stay connected with family and friends and just having a good time!
WHAT STEPS ARE YOU PLANNING TO TAKE TO GET THERE?
If we are talking about my modelling career I would say continuing to network build new relationships, and strengthen existing relationships. I always strive to bring good energy for the people around me and make sure that I can give my all to the people that present me with opportunities. Staying on top of my health and fitness is also something that I find is really important.
