Will Chalker (b. 7 March 1980) is a supermodel and an amateur boxer. He was born in East Sussex, England, and began modeling at the age of twenty in 2000. While he was a construction worker, thanks to a friend who took some test shots of him to modeling agencies, Chalker had a career changing opportunity.
Since then, he has appeared in major designer campaigns including YSL, Perry Ellis, and Paul Smith. His runway tasks include opening and closing for Gucci, John Galliano's finishing tableau, Athena-poster look for D&G, and walking along Sonia Rykiel during her show.
Chalker has been modeling on the men's catwalks for nine seasons and modeling full-time since early 2003. He was crowned by the media as "the first male supermodel" and a web group dedicated to him has over 900 members.
Despite Chalker's growing popularity in fashion today, there has been no public buzz about him. He remains down to earth and is known for his punctuality and professionalism.

"I've always liked nice clothes," he says, "but now I know names I would never have known in the past. Now I'd still never wear a whole outfit, but the clothes at places like Gucci or YSL make you feel like a million dollars."
