Calvin Klein Underwear Competition - A sneak peak at the best Brits
Alistair Wardell Well, I was brought up predominantly in Harrogate in North Yorkshire, spending a few formative years in Scotland, before venturing to London to read Law at University College London (UCL). Upon graduating from UCL I went to work as an Investment Banker in the City for nearly two years, and despite the unpopularity of the industry at the moment, it was a fantastic opportunity to meet, learn and socialise with some incredibly intelligent and diverse characters. I guess that my main interest would have to socialising, anybody who knows me certainly wouldn't hesitate in vouching for my enjoyment of a good party, and any attempt at claiming a proper or noteworthy hobby would just be a fabrication having stopped playing Rugby seriously shortly after beginning University. Though as pastimes go drinking, dining and conversing with friends and good company, particularly in a City as vibrant as London, is hard to surpass. Over the years I have also become fond of exercising. Having not always been quite so athletic, I think it really was working in the City and escaping to the gym to maintain sanity and focus that cemented my affinity with sweat. 2. What made you decide to enter the Calvin Klein competition? In short, it was my brother. Several people have mentioned modelling to me in the past, but it was not until he brought the competition to my attention and suggested I enter that I gave it serious consideration. Coming out of working in the City, and looking for a change, coupled with my brother's encouragement, made me think why not. I mean the competition offers a unique opportunity to experience something completely different, and really would provide the change in direction to my life that I have been searching for. 3. What artists would I find on your iPod right now? Somewhat of an eclectic mix, including the new Bon Jovi album, The Script, David Guetta, Pavarotti and of course some old school Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack. 4. What makes you stand out from the crowd/ what makes you unique? Probably my creativity and panache for innovative and different thinking. To be clichéd, my thinking out of the box approach to life. This comes out in my care free and free spirited, borderline reckless, approach to enjoying life. 5. If you could escape for a week to anywhere in the world where would it be? Whitehaven beach, Whitsunday Island, Australia. Forming part of the protected Australian national park, Whitehaven beach on the uninhabited Whitsunday Island is accessible only by seaplane or boat, and for me, offers unparalleled escapism.
