O’Shea Robertson

O’Shea Robertson is an English model whose career began with a chance encounter on a London bus. Scouted by fellow model Ash Stymest, he joined Select and soon began working internationally, with early runway appearances for Givenchy and Calvin Klein.

In a 2011 interview with Boys By Girls, O’Shea recalled that the encounter happened on the day he finished his GCSEs. He had nearly decided against attending a party across town before boarding the bus that changed his plans for the future. By the time of the interview, modeling had taken him to six countries in a year. The accompanying portrait offered a more domestic introduction, revealing his enthusiasm for gadgets and a pop-up tent installed in his London living room.

His early bookings placed him within a particularly experimental period of men’s runway fashion. Givenchy became a recurring part of his show career, including its fall-winter 2012 collection. Work for Hermès and Giorgio Armani followed across the international circuit. Alongside the shows, his editorial portfolio developed through publications including Vogue Hommes Japan and Man About Town.

A continuing relationship with Reiss gave his advertising work a recognizable focus. O’Shea starred in the British label’s winter 2020 campaign and returned for subsequent menswear imagery, including its 2023 wardrobe refresh and spring 2024 advertising. These repeat bookings form a sustained chapter in his career, connecting his image with the label’s contemporary British wardrobe.

His magazine work also developed alongside those recurring commercial bookings. Editorials for The Gentleman’s Journal in 2023 and The Rake in 2024 extended a publishing career that began during his first years at Select, placing him within the established menswear world more than a decade after his discovery.
