Kelly Rippy
(model, Tennessee) With a slacker stance and a bad haircut, Kelly was discovered at age 16 (along with his brother Nick, age 13) in Knoxville by ProScout. He gained momentum in Atlanta with Mark Cook at L’Agence, then literally exploded in NYC with the help of Wilhelmina’s masterful mens division. His first major booking? A ten page spread for Calvin Klein. His most iconic job? His face launched the worldwide campaign for CK-1 fragrance. Shooting fat campaigns like Cacharel, Givenchy, Levi’s… Kelly has earned his spot among the world’s top 25 male models. Today you see him stuffing his bank account working for JCrew, Garnier Fructis, Gap. Repped by Wilhelmina.
