EDWARD STERGIOU x REY

We have first met him at Greece’s Next Top Model and we have been fans since day one!

He was so kind, focus on his mission and definitely one of the most handsome male models of the fashion TV show. He made it to the TOP 10 and he proved he can do much more outside the house of GNTM.

Edward Stergiou is one of the most popular male models in Greece today and he is officially the male ambassador of YSL Beauty in Greece.

When did you start modelling?

Everything started when I decided to put an end to my evolving football career and turn into something that was very intriguing and suspenseful for me at the time. I was 19 when I started thinking about the possibility of a new career in this exciting industry and all of a sudden I started to put all my efforts on that sector.

People loved you during Greece’s Next Top Model. You became one of their favourites, and us too. How was it after you left the fashion reality show though?

TV has the power to make success something that has being counted on followers or how much money you are making. Nevertheless, the love of the people is one the greatest gifts it can offer to you. What matters the most though, is how you will handle this popularity after the show and how picky you will manage to be since the job proposals will be defiantly too many.

Has the show helped you to develop more on your profile as a model?

The show helped me get a better connection with the Greek market which resulted in a great variety of jobs that followed. Greek fashion is quite limited and specific and I knew that before getting into the show, but I’m still grateful for the collaborations I have chosen to do so far.

Which moment from GNTM you will never forget..?

The show as a whole experience was a very special moment of my life, it is impossible to pick just one moment.

Are you going to watch Greece’s Next Top Model this season?

The hype around the show this year is very big, I would not want to miss it!

Now tell us a fashion moment you are proud of:

I’m really proud for what I have managed to accomplish in this industry big or small. From the Dolce & Gabbana show to some of great Instagram jobs I have done so far. I feel proud for the people I meet daily through this job. Getting rewarded for your hard work is life’s best present. ‘Hard or easy’, you always learn something.

Have you always wanted to be a model? Do you have any other male model as an inspiration?

From a very young age a had an interest in fashion. I was taking care of my self maybe more than other kids at that time. So I think it was always something inside me about being a model. I admire quite a few successful male models one of them is David Gandy.

Which job is your favourite so far?

YSL Beauty has chosen me to be theirs campaign ambassador for the 2022 cosmetics. The campaign and the message this campaign gave to the world are definitely what I love so far.

Any future plans you can share with us?

For sure there is always something cooking but allow me to reveal it when it’s done.

Are you in love this period?

I’m always in love with my job.

What is the song you are always listening to these days?
