A Manx bouncer has secured a contract with popular American fashion brand Hollister.

Tony Foster, from Ramsey, has successfully signed with Hollister following a recent photo shoot casting in Alicante, Spain.

The 22-year-old, who took a break from modelling last year to deal with a ’family issue’, also hopes to work with a modelling agency in Stockholm, Sweden, soon.

’It was great being back in the industry,’ said Tony, who is also a doorman at The Courthouse Bar in Douglas.

’I was signed to Hollister on the spot. My photos are currently being sorted through to which ones they want to use, so when I get sent the final ones they will be on my social media and then they will be on the Hollister website and all their social media pages later this year.

’I also had a casting for Calvin Klein while I was out on Alicante, so I’ll hopefully be hearing back from them soon.’

Tony was first introduced to modelling in 2014, when he took part in a photo shoot for island photographer Phil Kneen. Since then, he has modelled for Windsor & Wales, an Isle of Man clothing company, and worked with Flair Talent Model Agency in London and Eye on Models Agency in Milan, as well as casting agency Model Management in London. Tony won ’Most Fanciable Male’ after reaching the final of Top Model Worldwide, a contest held in London in 2016.

Now Tony is planning to meet with an agency called MIKAs Model in July.

’It is the number one agency in Stockholm and they have said they’d love to work with me whenever I am next in Sweden.’

He is also looking for representation in London.
