Alessio Pozzi

Alessio Pozzi is an Italian model from Capriolo, in the province of Brescia, whose introduction to fashion began while waiting for a dental appointment. A scout approached him, suggested he try modeling, and set in motion a career that soon brought him into campaigns for Versace and Givenchy.

In a 2015 interview with Out, Alessio recalled having photographs taken before signing with Elite in Milan. The prospect of posing initially embarrassed him, but his first shoots helped him become comfortable in front of the camera. His entry into the profession was accidental; learning to inhabit a photograph became part of the job.

His ascent was particularly visible in 2015. Versace and Givenchy both cast him in their spring-summer advertising, placing him at the center of two influential, highly physical visions of menswear. Givenchy’s campaign, photographed by Mert & Marcus, established an early connection with the house that continued into the following season. Alessio also returned for Versace’s fall-winter 2015 campaign, moving from a promising newcomer to a repeat booking.

Calvin Klein Jeans added another significant chapter that year, with Mario Sorrenti photographing him for the label’s fall campaign. His athletic build became a recognizable part of his fashion identity, appearing across denim advertising and the runways of major Italian houses. Editorials offered a broader range of roles, including work for Hercules Universal and GQ Style.

A decade into his career, Alessio took on the central role in Trussardi’s Primo fragrance advertising. Launched in 2024, the campaign gave him an assignment built around a single leading figure. The chance discovery in a waiting room had developed into a career in which Italian fashion houses repeatedly chose him to represent their image of the contemporary man.
