TOP MODEL | DAVID LIM
First off tell us how you were "discovered" ?
I wasn't necessarily "discovered." I hired a photographer to take some pictures while living in San Diego, then submitted the photos to several modeling agencies. An agent from Ford Models called me in for a meeting, and I signed a contract with them in 2009. I quit my job the next day and moved to Los Angeles.
What has been your favorite shoot / campaign / work to date?
My favorite campaign to date has been for Revo Sunglasses. Everything was shot on location, from the beautiful mountains and forests of North Carolina, to New York during springtime, to the crystal clear waters of Jamaica. It was a dream job and I met some amazing people. To top it off, wearing sunglasses all day means I can work with my eyes closed.
How would you describe your personal style, Where do you pull your inspiration from?
My personal style is simple and casual: good denim, plain tee, a leather jacket and some cool boots. Although I love throwing on a slim fitting suit. I mostly flip through magazines looking at the ads, and reading the fashion tips and stories. Everything you need for inspiration is right there.
Do you have any hidden talents?
Give me a pencil and paper and I can sketch anything you put in front of me. Ask me to color or paint it and that's another story.
Give us 4 facts about you people may not know.
1. I'm 100% Chinese.
2. I grew up in the Bay Area and am a huge Warriors, Giants and 49ers fan.
3. I have a degree in Electrical Engineering.
4. I like to cook.
