Adonis Bosso’s come-up in the world of modeling was an unexpected one for the Ivory-Canadian native; when Adonis accompanied a girlfriend to a modeling agency back in 2009, he ended up being the one signed. Seizing that stroke of luck, Adonis Bosso has gone on to represent some of the most well-known fashion labels in the world.

Standing at an impressive 6’2 with the visage of a statue, one can see how he embodies the handsome youth of Greek mythology as his namesake. He has been front and center on numerous runways and magazine covers, modeling for the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, H&M, Armani Exchange, TOM FORD, Vivienne Westwood, and Banana Republic. Adonis also described himself as “sexually fluid” in a 2020 interview with The Cut, citing his ex-girlfriend and fellow model Slick Woods, who he has one child with, as instrumental in his self-discovery. “I don’t necessarily believe in labels. I feel like I could fall in love with anyone, regardless of their sex, or their orientation, or anything. I feel like love is energy.”
