The Man Behind the Model with David Gandy, founder of David Gandy Wellwear

Holly’s guest this week is a fascinating one, David Gandy, a man whose image is synonymous with high fashion and whose face has graced countless magazine covers, billboards and our televisions.

Whilst sharing a cup of tea with Holly on her sofa, David delves into the story behind his career, life as a father, and his recent experiences of founding David Gandy Wellwear. Holly soon learns that David, much like the rest of us, tackles imposter syndrome, despite the successful career he has built and discusses the importance of encouraging kindness in the fashion industry, where scrutiny is rife. 

Whilst explaining the sheer hard work that David has dedicated to his venture, Holly learns about the unique DNA of his brand and of his vision to build a clothing line that offers products which are not only stylish, but are practical, and also advocate sustainable fashion.

This week's conversation has so much food for thought, it’s an ode to dedication, hard work, and to following a passion in order to achieve fulfilment.
