thefashionistoWhere did you grow up?
Josh Beech: I grew up in south east London on the edge of Kent in a small town. It was pretty sick actually cos I had the best of both worlds as I was really near the country and spitting distance from the city.
How were you discovered?
Josh Beech: I was discovered by my booker Shezzzzza (Sherill smith) at Models 1 while I was at a festival in east London three years ago.
When did you start modeling?
Josh Beech: I started modeling about three months after I was scouted by Sherill as I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do modeling and didn’t think it was for me. My first Job was the Burberry campaign, which was really cool as it was with lots of other musicians.
Where do you live now?

What did you do before modeling?
Josh Beech: All sorts of **** lol. I was at college and before that I was working for Tanglewood guitars and Virgin megastores.
Most memorable shoot?
Josh Beech: The Tommy shoot I just did was really fun, but there are lots that have been really memorable. Whenever I get to go to a country that I wouldn’t have ever thought of visiting, I have an amazing time. I feel very lucky.
thefashionistoOur latest model of the month, Josh Beech hails from south east London, where he grew up in a small town on the edge of Kent. Near the country and a throw from the city, it would not be long before Josh went from attending school and working at Virgin to making his debut in Burberry’s spring 2008 campaign. With a significant casting beginning his book, Josh becoming an international star was only inevitable. Walking the runway from New York and Paris to Milan, Josh was tapped for a flurry of campaigns and editorials that have included work for Levi’s, Giuliano Fujiwara, Full Circle and Valentino to endless publications that include Dazed & Confused, L’Officiel Hommes and Vogue Italia just to name a few.
Before we kick off a round of interview questions, we share an exclusive set of photos taken of the d’men/DNA model by Aline & Jacqueline Tappia this past July. One of their favorite works to date, the Tappias had nothing but glowing reviews for Josh, but in his own words and straight to the point, the experience was “****ing cool, I really liked them and would love to work with them again. They really were rad.”
