Find Del online:Misfit Models official websiteInstagramTwitterTikTokLinkedInFacebookDel Keens Bio:When Del moved from London to Berlin in 2006, he was already well-booked model. Del Keens had been in front of the lens for Diesel Jeans, Levi's and Calvin Klein. Without a washboard stomach, but as a face full of character.In Germany, however, he realised that there was no use for character models like himself on the local market. Instead of real personalities, advertising relied and still relies on the same perfect faces and flawless bodies. Identification potential equals zero.That's why Del founded Misfit Models in 2012 - the modelling agency for character faces like himself.Goggle Del Keens for more information.IF YOU ENJOY THIS PODCASTYou can support the show in various ways: BUY THE GERMANY EXPERIENCE PODCAST A COFFEE – there are a lot of costs associated with running a podcast, like expenses for hosting the audio and the tools used to record the episodes.
