John Pearson is a modelling icon with a successful career that has spanned over 30 years.

In the last half-decade alone, Pearson has worked his Blue Steel in the pages of Vogue Italia and Interview, flaunted salt-and-pepper hair in youth-driven indie mags like VMAN, Hercules and Arena Homme +, and put teenage waifs to shame on the Prada runway. The father of three — who’s been married for 22 years to Alison Edmond, a well-known stylist — even has a fan page in the blogosphere and a burgeoning presence on Instagram.

Pearson’s impressive client list includes Burberry, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren, Valentino, Guy Laroche, The Gap, Banana Republic, GQ, L’Uomo Vogue and Vogue Hommes. The only man to appear editorially in American GQ for over three decades, Pearson works continually with the industry’s greatest photographers including Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, David Bailey, Peter Lindbergh, Bruce Weber, Patrick Demarchelier, Helmut Newton, Arthur Elgort, Mikael Jansson, Michael Thompson and Ellen von Unwerth.
