Stephen James: Model to Supermodel
The 24-year-old model -- Stephen James -- is one of the most in-demand models in the industry, and one of the first ever full tattooed ones. He wasn't a model to start with, but, he chose it as a career after he was first found by an Elite model in Barcelona back in 2012.

A former pro soccer player James, whose physique is inked with elegant designs, once shared his bitter experience of his journey in an interview with Vogue back in October 2015; the time when he was not judged by his potential but by his tattoos. He divulged,
"I’ve seen a real change in the way tattoos are perceived in the industry. When I first started working in Spain, the market was very close-minded when it came to tattoos. They don’t like a lot of edgy stuff, so I had to prove myself two or three times over."
Stephen, who was born in Hammersmith, London, has worked with the model, Irina for a quiet time and has been together in many campaigns. Moreover, Irina seems more close to Stephen James after her breakup with "Hangover" star Bradley Cooper.

Stephen James's Journey to the Modeling Industry
In the interview with Vogue, Stephen James, who is a Scottish and Israeli descent, explained his journey from the sportsman to the celebrity wasn’t an easy one. As per Stephen,
“I was living in Barcelona and playing soccer there when I got hurt, and I was scouted while in rehab for the injury. So modeling was bit unexpected, but I had thought about it prior to that. As I traveled for soccer, I would always pick up modeling cards from different agencies, but it wasn’t until I had the problem with the injury that I decided, Why not give this a try! Luckily it’s worked out so far.”
His injury wasn’t a common one as it took his dream away to be in the ‘International team’ of England. But the modeling Industry seems very fruitful to the young sensation, who has worked with big brands such as Calvin Klein, Diesel, Men's Health Magazine, GQ Germany and much more.
