With his GQ good looks and have appeared in numerous Menswear magazines and Menswear shows, Jacob Neely have been seen everywhere. With his busy schedule and mine, I have known the masculine Jacob for nearly fours years and yes, I been waiting to get him into my menswear collection. This time it will happen in next week! With a World Premiere interview with Jacob Neely, I will be asking him several personal questions, plus his modeling career.
Tell me about yourself?
I am 26, originally born in Sacramento, CA. Grew up as an Air Force brat and was always traveling since a young age. My favorite place I ever lived was right outside of Ramstein AFB, Germany in a king's old hunting house on acres of forest. Growing up I loved playing baseball, art (drawing, painting, sculpting), science, fitness, entrepreneurship, and music. I feel very fortunate to have developed those talents into things I am still doing today and continually working on.
Where are you originally from and why did u move to Manhattan?
Right after I finished school at USF studying psychology, I had a serious intuition that New York would foster all of my dreams and ambition. So far my intuition has led me in the right direction :)
How did u get yourself as the popular male model in the industry?
I never really thought of myself as being super popular, but I guess my passion for what I do really comes out in my work.
What designer would you love to work with and why?
I've always had a dream to wear some underwear for CK or a suit for Giorgio Armani - who knows just my favorite brands!
What is it like working in the Modeling industry, is it hard to do be a male model?
Well I would say that since modeling is such a subjective industry, that yes it is hard to be a male model simply because of this. For instance, one agent/agency might have a skewed perception of you as a model - whereas another agent/agency might be so overwhelmingly excited to represent you and book you work. Speaking for myself, I am very thankful to be able to work as a model in NYC and have a lot of fun doing so!
What was it like when you first modeled, was it nerve wrecking, or exciting?
I can assure you it was a mix of both - I knew far less about anything I was doing! haha
What supermodel would you have love to work with?
It might be cliche to say but, Alessandra Ambrosio? Honestly it would be a privilege to work with any model THAT successful.
With your amazing looks and the perfect body to match, how do u maintain your looks and what do you do to look fantastic with your hard body?
I exercise consistently, eat healthy, and use plenty of moisturizers (thanks to my mom)!
What do u do to stay healthy and what workout do u do, please share with us?
Consistency with my diet, exercise, and really just an overall healthy lifestyle is my secret. I create a lot of different exercise programs that I do and love Muay Thai kickboxing.
What magazines do you read? Fashion? Sports? Playboy? Food network?
I read GQ, Esquire, SI, and maybe a few random guitar or surfing mags from time to time.
What music do you listen to when working out?
Whatever is motivating me at the moment - so always listening to different music based on my moods in the gym.
Do you workout everyday?
I take Sundays off, but I am so active that my normal day might be a total workout to someone who takes it easy LOL
Who are your favorite designers?
So many to list!! Some of my current favorites are John Varvatos (I love rock &roll), Dolce & Gabanna, Diesel, Fendi, Gucci, and Saint Laurent
Who are your least favorite designer?
Honestly I can always appreciate and respect the immense amount of artistic and creative talent that goes into being a designer. I don't have a least favorite, but designers occasionally make things in collections from time to time that leave you scratching your head ???? LOL
What designers do you wear?
John Varvatos, Diesel, Dolce & Gabanna, Fendi, BVLGARI, Gucci, and Saint Laurent
and go-tos like Levis, Dr Martens, Nike, Urban Outfitters, Zara, and H&MWhat designers would you not wear?
It depends on what the piece looks like - I haven't boycotted any designers LOL
How do u keep up to date in fashion?
I guess just being in the fashion world you start to get a clue of how to adjust your personal style to changing trends.
What men's cologne do you wear?
BVLGARI MAN is my #1 for a while now, with Burberry Touch for 2nd place.
Are you a boxer or brief kind of guy?
Briefs and boxer briefs!
Favorite gym?
The Muay Thai gym I trained at in Bangkok, Thailand
Favorite jeans brand?
Diesel
Favorite shampoo?
Paul Mitchell tea tree shampoo
What's your favorite item of clothing?
My Giorgio Armani suit
What's your least favorite item of clothing?
These socks I just threw away with a hole in them
Favorite shoes?
Right now...... a pair of black suede Fendi dress shoes I have.
Favorite sneakers?
My YSL's
What do consider your best feature?
My best future is within my many talents ;)
