Younes Bendjima Career
Prior to diving into the fashion industry through the world of modeling, Bendjima was actively involved in sports – he was a would-be boxer, but was spotted and approached by modeling scouts in his father’s restaurant in 2011, when he was offered a modeling contract by the Next Model Management talent and modeling agency (currently referred to as Next Management). Although he declined the offer at first in order to pursue his boxing career, Younes later changed his mind and signed the deal.
In the course of the next two years, Younes was featured in several of the agency’s print campaigns before making his debut catwalk appearance in 2013 when he “walked the ramp” for Givenchy, presenting their 2013 spring/summer campaign.

Since his debut in 2013, he has worked with some of the biggest names and brands of the fashion industry, and now in his professional portfolio there are collaborations with fashion labels such as Ralph Lauren, Balmain, Dolce & Gabanna as well as Hermès, Missoni and Burberry.
