Updates! For 6 months in a row, Boyd remains the most popular and most requested male model at ModelWatch. In response to requests from the viewers, we are updating his Interview with the launching of 3 poems written by Boyd, as a prelude to an upcoming Book he plans to publish soon...
We have also planned a new interview with Boyd coming up!

He's the naked guy with Brazilian top model Caroline Ribeiro! That photoshoots was way before he was chosen as one of Dior Homme's most celebrated male models. Everybody knows Hedi Slimane and his drive for perfection- choosing Boyd Holbrook only confirmed one thing- the guy is destined to go places!
Says Elite's Nathalie Bernier, mentor, agent and friend "Boyd had quite an auspicious beginning of his career, landing the Christian Dior exclusive campaign. It was a thrill to see him start off with such a bang!"
Already a favorite among top fashion photographers, Boyd is now being labeled as the "male model" ideal. He is probably the most popular male model on the editorial front, amassing back-to-back gigs from across the Continent.

Updates! Boyd has been known in fashion circles as 'that model-poet' and since we figured he likes to write poetry, we deemed it our luck to be the first to feature some of his work.
With his friend and fellow male model Jamie Strachan doing the sketches & illustrations, Boyd is planning to launch his own book of poetry soon.
As a sample, you can browse 3 selected poems here:

Only 21 years old, the 6'1" looker is quite famous in Europe as well as in Asia, particularly in Japan where modelwatchers in that Asian fashion hotspot are some of the most sophisticated.
Elite NYC considers him as one of their top bets in the current race for the next male "megamodel". Competing with Boyd for this title includes David Smith at IMG, Nick Bryant at VModels, Derek Hunchins at NY Models and Jeppe Zeller, also at IMG.
After a brief stint in Japan, Boyd is back in the Big Apple, and with his comeback, Modelwatch once again break new grounds, as we feature, the website's most requested male model!

Jed: Everybody is simply curious about how you became a model, could you tell us how it all started and what would be your first modeling gig?
Boyd: My 1st job was a Bill Blass campaign with Steven Klein. So much was going on, I had no idea what to do, so I just sat back and watched.
