Paolo Seganti

Born in Milan, Italy, Paolo Seganti used the boxing ring as a surrogate stage, winning the Italian Amateur Championship within six months and continuing fighting and acting (theatre) on and off for 5 years. But it was his look that was immediately in demand by photographer/filmmakers such as Jean-Paul Goude, Peter Lindberg, Jean-Baptiste Mondino and Bruce Weber, fronting worldwide campaigns for Chanel, YSL, Lanvin and Calvin Klein. All of this however was a temporary diversion, and Paolo began working extensively on the New York stage, receiving critical acclaim for lead roles in, 'Equus' and the self-directed, 'Whose Life Is It Anyway?'.
