Fernando Lindez

Fernando Lindez is a Spanish model and actor from Madrid whose career in fashion developed alongside his work on screen. Opening Versace’s fall-winter 2019 menswear show gave him an early international platform, followed by fragrance advertising for Loewe and a recurring relationship with Versace.

A photograph on a friend’s Instagram account brought Fernando to the attention of Uno Models. He entered modeling in 2017, initially combining the work with school before committing more time to it. The transition involved the practical education of traveling for castings and sharing model apartments, as Milan and Paris became part of his working life.

The Loewe Paula’s Ibiza fragrance campaign in 2020 placed him alongside Mona Tougaard in photographs by Gray Sorrenti. Versace subsequently became a sustained connection, extending from the runway to its spring-summer 2024 advertising. Those bookings established his fashion identity while his television audience was growing.

Fernando played Alejandro in Skam España, then joined Élite as Joel for its final two seasons. His screen work also includes Escándalo. Relato de una obsesión and the film The Last Sunrise. Modeling and acting developed as parallel professions, with each making different demands on him.

Speaking to Numéro Switzerland in 2025, Fernando explained what drew him toward character work. “Acting allows me to explore different aspects of my personality and presents challenges I am passionate about,” he said. His agency helped him balance the two careers as his acting responsibilities expanded.

In a 2026 interview with Rísbel, he distinguished introversion from a fear of being seen. “To be an actor, you have to know how to take the plunge,” he said, translated from Spanish. He described himself as an attentive observer, learning from experienced colleagues while continuing his own training.
