Dae Na

Dae Na is a South Korean model whose international career took shape in New York. An introduction from Hudson Taylor brought him to agent Brandon Wilson, leading to representation with Wilson Model Management and subsequently VNY. By 2012, he had appeared on the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan, an early milestone that placed him before an international fashion audience.

Advertising became a significant part of his career. Campaigns for Diesel and United Colors of Benetton were followed by work for Tom Ford and Armani Exchange, establishing him in ensemble casts as well as more individually focused menswear imagery. His magazine portfolio developed alongside those bookings, with appearances in Esquire and L’Officiel Hommes Germany.

Ralph Lauren became a recurring association across different parts of the American label. Dae modeled Polo’s sportswear and appeared in Purple Label’s spring 2024 imagery, extending that relationship into its luxury tailoring. His runway work has included Dolce & Gabbana and Dunhill, adding a separate chapter to a career rooted in photographic assignments.

From an early Japanese magazine cover to sustained work in American menswear, Dae’s career reflects the international working life of a Korean model who established his professional base in New York.
