i wanna meet this guy! he is so fun!i truly believe there is another woollen jacket out there just waiting for him! what a great dude.
June 2nd, 2010 at 7:52 am
no
June 2nd, 2010 at 9:10 am
Thank God. Personality, a bit of maturity, quirkiness, arresting presence and underneath that hair a real beauty. This is what male modelling needs – someone off the wall and innovative. We’ve had the muscle boys who are better suited to Fire Island than fashion, the anorexic tattooed boys. This is what male fashion needs real men, real people who make clothes real. He is the male equivalent of Lara Stone – a total one off and thank God for that. Basta.

A beautiful face (great teeth!) hidden behind some really scraggy hair. Please send him to Fekkai! This kid has a bright future!
June 2nd, 2010 at 9:38 am
Seriously, get rid of the beard.

I would imagine this is how Che Guavara’s mates looked like when they fought against the Baptista Govt. in jungles of Cuba.
June 2nd, 2010 at 11:48 am
Modelling are truly unique,i saw some 5’10 male model with septum ring
now i see a man with beard and mature face,this is what it’s all about
DIVERSITY that makes fashion wonderful and worth watching
not boys with muscles and abs
this is unique
June 2nd, 2010 at 11:56 am
He seems to have a very interesting and unique personality…
June 2nd, 2010 at 12:50 pm
He’s not got that vacant look in the eyes that some models have.
June 2nd, 2010 at 1:13 pm
I worked with many TOP guys …..and Xoan is absolutely one of them…
so Tony: I do not agree with you at all……
and Julie: you are totaly right!!!!
This guy will be big … read my lips
greetings from Amsterdam and Milan :-)
June 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm
i don’t really like models with beards like that :S
June 2nd, 2010 at 3:13 pm
Love this guys looks and personality! So over the stereo typicals – he has his own distinct look, which will work for some and not for others. That’s why there is a huge variety of models.
June 2nd, 2010 at 4:33 pm
Picture #5 = YES
I can see he is good-looking but the beard does him no favours whatsoever. Looks caveman-ish if you ask me…! And when he frowns he looks somewhat menacing, instead of brooding. However I do agree that he has this amazing warmth, from the eyes and smile. Shall be intrigued to see more of this dude
June 2nd, 2010 at 4:38 pm
I like his different look and persona but imagine if he would shave his beard off? That would be really intreseting!
June 2nd, 2010 at 5:12 pm
Here’s to more diversity in the industry and hoping that Xoan goes very far! You can tell from his profile that he’s quite down to Earth. His look is with or without the Shaggy Beard and Curly Hair is quite sensual, manly and oh so sexy! Xoan indeed, isn’t like the other blank canvas male models out there in which you can tell that he experience life to it’s fullest.
June 2nd, 2010 at 5:35 pm
Ivete Sangalo and Metalica in the same list…awesome
eu já imaginava que os galegos eram hot mas esse cara é um pedaço de mal caminho. *.*
June 2nd, 2010 at 6:34 pm
Besides his beatiful blue eyes this man has a soul! So rare! So fantastic!
June 2nd, 2010 at 7:21 pm
Sems like a really cool guy
June 3rd, 2010 at 12:36 am
YOU GUYS ARE EFFIN CRAZY! is this the april’s fool joke again? this guy is not ugly or boring, but that beard is gross and is soooo not fashionable. diversity doesnt mean beard like this should grace a magazine or runway… or else why not we put ugly fat people on stage since i hardly see them in fashion spread?
June 3rd, 2010 at 1:10 am
Fusion is not going to be able to do much for him. but he is okay.. his look is a little limited though..
June 3rd, 2010 at 2:15 am
me encanta este hombre!! nada aburrido como les demas…
June 3rd, 2010 at 3:23 am
I like! Uh!
June 3rd, 2010 at 8:59 am
HOT HOT HOT HOT!!!! WHATS HIS NUMBER?! <3 haha
June 3rd, 2010 at 11:51 am
He is not really model
June 3rd, 2010 at 12:19 pm
arnold – you must be an agent that has a huge ego
June 3rd, 2010 at 12:48 pm

June 4th, 2010 at 1:20 am

Since when did they start scouting homeless people?
June 4th, 2010 at 11:54 pm
A little old, and shaving the beard would do soooooo much for him, unless its for religious purposes.
June 6th, 2010 at 5:17 am
I wish my friend Xoan the best of lucks in this new adventure. I have known him for years and like the rest of his friends, I also think he is wasting his talent in the profoundly rotten fashion industry. Someone should tell people out there how things work inside. How models get paid nothing to shoot for top magazines such as GQ, Dazed & Confused, Wonderland . The promise of better times, of paid campaigns pushes them to carry on doing this “charity” work for months, years…
The truth is that paid campaigns are difficult to secure. The wind talks of male models going to bed with designers, photographers, stylists in order to land campaigns. Is that the way up the ladder ?
If it is then Im glad to say Xoan will never make it to the top.
I believe there must be a different way to climb up the ladder and if there is such, then I hope he can find it.
June 6th, 2010 at 8:57 am
Love the comments. That’s way fun.
June 6th, 2010 at 12:29 pm
Despite his bearded face I can see a nice person looking at me from these photos – but only because I know him, so shave your face Xoan so others can see the same xxx
June 7th, 2010 at 5:34 pm
He’s got the look and the intelligence and the ability to make good friends,including myself, in such a hard world as the one of the fashion industry. With or without beard his great presence is there.
A real model, with a healthy and attractive image. Women don’t want effeminate, skinny, fragile models , that it’s sooooooo not appealing.
Xoan you do sell anything that you advertise.

Hola !
The end of the week has arrived and I wanted to highlight my favourite comment which by far is number 33, from (genius) Harlow.

I had the pleasure to work with him some time ago. He is such a nice and intelligent guy, very professional, very funny and of course really, really handsome. Although I “only” had the beardless Xoan-version in front of my camera, I really love his look now and I am sure he will be the next big thing!
All the best to you, Xoan!
Love from Berlin,

February 19th, 2011 at 7:22 pm
Xoan! yes! New Zealand awaits!
April 19th, 2011 at 4:55 pm
It scares me in world of fashion that people are so conditioned to think the same (guessing they’re thinking different).
It was supposed to be as in any other art enviroment, were people are pushed to think different to make difference.
Beauty goes beyond standard stereotypes, if you are touched by standards, you are just one more in the bunch on non thinkers. And that’s why fashion is becoming so boring.
This guy is stunning, and besides he has personality (something rare among models). I hope I can see more guys like him in MOTW!
July 9th, 2011 at 3:26 pm
Beautiful…that is all.
