Bay model on a high in Asia
Delon eyes lucrative deal
PORT Elizabeth-born model and entrepreneur, Delon le Roux, is making waves in Korea and may win a lucrative contract as the face of fashion in the Asian country.
In January, Le Roux was chosen as one of the faces for Korea Style Week after a selection process which narrowed 400 models down to 30 before reaching the final 11.
All finalists are now in the running for a lucrative one-year contract as the face of the COEX, one of the largest malls in Korea. “I’m currently No 2 in the poll, trailing by only nine votes,” Le Roux said yesterday from his new home in Seoul.
Korea Style Week starts tomorrow and continues until Sunday.
The public chooses the winner via total votes across all platforms: Facebook, Instagram and likes on the individual model pages. Voting is now open and will close at 12 midnight on March 26.
A regular fixture at Seoul Fashion Week, he is often snapped as one of Seoul’s most recognisable “Fapi” (fashion people).
“I love classic cuts but I love patterns, prints, and colour and mixing those elements in unique and unexpected ways,” he said.
Most recently, Le Roux has been signed with NFM Global Model Management, and after seeing him on set, the CEO offered him a position as pose instructor and mentor for new models joining the agency.
