Model in the Spotlight: Garrett Neff In our ongoing series, Model in the Spotlight, we get up close and personal with the world's leading male models. Like actors who graduate to become directors, Garrett Neff is a star model who's ready to move to the next phase of his career. Having more or less conquered the game—he's walked every show you can think of and appeared in countless editorials—the Delaware native is now focused on the upcoming launch of his eponymous lifestyle website. Here, Neff explains what he hopes to achieve with the project, the best (and worst) parts about modeling, and the fitness regimen behind his legendarily ripped body. Age: 29 Height: 6' 1.5" Hometown: Wilmington, Delware Agency: Wilhelmina How were you discovered? I was in the Miami International Airport, waiting for a connecting flight on my way home from a summer economics course my university offered in Barbados. Your first modeling gig: Good Morning America's back-to-school fashion special presentation by GQ. But my first real shoot was with Bruce Weber in Hawaii for Abercrombie & Fitch. I got to ride a horse through the surf. Strangest place you've traveled for work, and why: Alaska. We shot Saks Fifth Avenue out there a few years ago and I was stuck on a boat for three days. I love sailing but hate cruise ships. We were on a research vessel posing as a floating mobile home. It was incredibly beautiful outside of the boat but I feel trapped if I can't exercise, and three days of it was practically torture. How do you stay in shape? I do it all. The most important thing for me is mixing it up so I don't get bored. Running, swimming, tennis, yoga, classes at Equinox, kickboxing at Gotham Gym. I just picked up paddle boarding and tried anti-gravity yoga for the first time this summer. Trainers are really helpful when it comes to keeping it new. Mine comes to the apartment and we do floor workouts with lightweights if I run out of my own ideas or if my schedule is tight. Career highlight: Co-conspiring with Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey during the 30 Rock live episode. Can we get a sneak peek of the new website you're working on? It hasn't launched yet, but it should within the next two months. GarrettNeff.com will be a window into the life of a young, well-traveled male model who has access to the world's most interesting events and products. What are you hoping to accomplish with this project? I'm reasonably active with social media, but I think many of the formats are limiting. A website may not be as easily consumed but it can have so much more. I think that a website is a more all-embracing medium through which I can really express myself and showcase things I care about. What's the best part about modeling? I more or less make my own schedule, but it hasn't always been that way. I've been very lucky over the years about taking the right opportunities. What's the most challenging part of modeling? Not knowing when or how often to say no to jobs. What's your secret to walking the runway? Good posture and a quick but natural pace. Any pre-show or pre-shoot rituals or superstitions? Nothing too weird, just a 30-minute upside-down meditation like everybody else! Best piece of swag you got to keep: Karl Lagerfeld once sent me home with a vintage Goyard trunk filled with Dior tuxedo-stripe gray washed jeans, Commes de Garçons velvet smoking jacket, Chanel dress shoes, and a bunch of other sweet items he wanted me to have. Does that count as swag? Your favorite designers: Philip Lim, Massimiliano Giornetti for Salvatore Ferragamo, Michael Bastian, Alber Elbaz for Lanvin, Jason Wu, Thomas Maier, Steven Alan. It's tough to choose, but these are a few. Your go-to outfit: James Perse T-shirt, worn-out APC jeans, Lanvin trainers, Patagonia trucker hat. Describe your style in three words or less: High-low luxury. The one item from your wardrobe you'd save in a fire: Let it burn! I'll find new clothes. My hands will be full with my cameras and hard drives. If you could raid anyone's closet, living or dead, whose would it be? Justin Timberlake comes to mind, but since most celebrities just borrow clothes for an event and then give them back to their stylists, I'd say Paul Newman. What's on your wrist? IWC Portuguese watch with Black dial, Cartier white gold Santos-Dumont chain bracelet, RRL leather wrap bracelet, Miansai fishhook bracelet. Biggest splurge: My cameras. I just invested in a Canon EOS 1DX, my first full-frame camera that also takes hi-def video. The LCD screen blows my Mark II 1DS out of the water! If you weren't modeling you'd be: Behind the camera. Best piece of advice you've ever been given? "Do one thing every day that scares you." I think Eleanor Roosevelt said it, but I heard it first from my mom. I don't always manage, but I do try. www.details.com

The world's top earning male model made $1.5 million last year, 1/28th of what the top earning female model earned By Fashionista www.stylelist.com Gender income inequality is alive and well within the modeling industry–with women out-earning the men, of course–but you might be shocked by just how much. Forbes just came out with its Top Earning Male Models List, and Sean O'Pry, the IRL Zoolander who ranked the highest, raked in just $1.5 million last year. While $1.5 million is nothing to sneeze at, you may remember that top-earning female model Gisele Bundchen pulled in aridiculous 42 million last year –-$4 million more than her husband, New England Patriots quarterback (and Ugg spokesman) Tom Brady. Despite gigs for big names like H&M, Hugo Boss, and Salvatore Ferragamo, plus fragrance contracts for Ultrasense by Jil Sander and Spicebomb by Viktor & Rolf, the 24-year-old O'Pry can't even get near the same tax bracket as his female counterparts. And remember David Gandy, the dishy lone male model who walked amongst legends Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell during the Summer Olympics closing ceremony last year and has a book dedicated to him by Dolce and Gabbana? Well, he narrowly missed the top title by $100,000, earning $1.4 million last year, and Zegna model Ryan Burns made number six on the list with $610,000 for the calendar year. As a matter of fact, if you add up all of the top 10 salaries, the total comes to just $8 million. Would Gisele even get out of bed for that much? So yes, modeling, is one industry where women rule the game, which is a feminist discussion of its own–only females are prized so highly for their appearance and objectified as an industry, and they get paid more for it. But it's hard to argue that with the name recognition, savvy female models do have more career prospects after their retiring (or being pushed out) of the modeling game, too–Christy Turlington has a successful yoga line and Iman is a beauty and cosmetics CEO. Something to think about, but in the meantime, let's just revel in this women-power moment and look at some eye candy while we're at it. Hi David.
