What’s your idea of fun?
A night out with the people I like. The place doesnt matter. It could be a shack in the middle of nowhere and we would still have fun.
Favorite modeling experience so far?
Working with photographer Alex Cayley for H&M magazine. I’ve also very much enjoyed working with Kristiina Wilson in NY and Andy Starkweather who straightened my hair and gave me a James Dean quiff. Working with Milan Vukmirovic in Paris was also very special.

Way too many artists out there for me to choose just one

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!

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

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.

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

I like his different look and persona but imagine if he would shave his beard off? That would be really intreseting!

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.

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?

A little old, and shaving the beard would do soooooo much for him, unless its for religious purposes.

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.

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

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.

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,

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!
