Alborzian was born in Iran to an English mother and Iranian father. In late 1978, Alborzian’s parents sent him away to an English boarding
school in response to the ever-increasing anti-Shah protests dominating
the country.
Alborzian began work as a fashion model on the runways of Paris in 1986. Along with Gaultier, he worked for other designers such as Valentino, Dior & YSL.
He did not achieve wider fame for his work until he landed a three-season campaign for Guess jeans in 1988. This work earned him a great deal of attention, including that of Madonna who handpicked him to be her love interest in the music video for her song "Express Yourself."
He appeared in the 1997 music video for Elton John's Something About the Way You Look Tonight, also starring Kate Moss. In 1998, he ended his career in fashion after he joined fellow models Naomi, Christy and Kate in visiting Nelson Mandela in South Africa for a charity event to benefit the Mandela Fund.
Alborzian is the author of two books, the first published in Spanish and entitled Ahora es el Momento.
The second, The Guru in You, is his first book to be published in English. It was published by HarperOne in December 2010
