Supermodel Wouter Peelen takes the cover story of DA MAN Style‘s Fall Winter 2015 edition captured by fashion photographer Peter Ash Lee with art direction and styling from Moses. Grooming is work of Michiko using Bumble and Bumble, with makeup by Aya Kudo at Seitomoko.
“Actually, I never wanted to have a Facebook or Instagram account because by doing so you spend so much time doing “nothing.” But nowadays it has become a personal marketing page for models. I think it does help [boost your career] sometimes, but on the other hand, if you’re good at what you’re doing, I think clients will also work with you without having ever looked at your Instagram profile. I do post sometimes and my friends think I’m in love with myself because I post a picture of myself every day. [Laughs] Last month I switched off my phone for the holidays and I felt alive. I had time to read, to do sports, and to stay away from the screen … Heaven!” – Wouter on importance of online presence across multiple platforms.
