Montreal beginnings
Gabriel Aubry was born in Montreal in 1976. A stylist’s approach in the 1990s began his modeling career, rather than a televised contest or large public audition. His later interview also recalls drawing from childhood, suggesting that an interest in visual expression preceded his professional work in front of the camera.[1][2]
International advertising
Aubry worked for Tommy Hilfiger, Versace, Calvin Klein, DKNY and Valentino, moving between American casualwear, Italian fashion and tailored imagery. His international portfolio crosses several distinct brand identities. It illustrates the adaptability required of a model who returns to commercial sets over many years.[1]
Editorial and commercial images
His record includes menswear magazines as well as broad retail advertising, with Macy’s in 2015 and Holt Renfrew in 2019 among the documented credits. Editorial recognition and commercial reach are different parts of that history. Runway counts alone would therefore give an incomplete picture of the work.[1][3]
Continuity in fashion
Aubry participated in Brunello Cucinelli’s 70th-anniversary event in 2023. Further credits include Vogue Adria covers and editorial work and an Antonio Marras campaign in 2025. New commissions, rather than only archival photographs, demonstrate continuity. In multigenerational casting, an established face can contribute a different sense of experience.[1][3]
Bally in 2025
Aubry joined Garrett Neff and James Turlington in Bally’s 2025 campaigns. The brand and his agency confirm the collaboration; Alessio Boni photographed the fall/winter imagery. Related heritage work foregrounded footwear and the human figure. Together these images invite attention to posture, material and proportion rather than only conspicuous branding.[4][5]
Making his own images
In his 2026 Numéro Netherlands interview, Aubry discussed an art practice developed more intensively over roughly a decade. He uses layered materials, including paint and wax, to explore beauty, memory and concealment. He distinguished interpreting another person’s vision as a model from deciding for himself what an artwork reveals or hides.[2]
The documented 2026 chapter
A March 2026 Numéro Netherlands interview and editorial document his recent work. The interview mentions exhibitions in Milan and Beverly Hills and plans for new work in Hong Kong. A stated plan should not be confused with a confirmed completed exhibition. The evidence nevertheless establishes a career now encompassing both modeling and image-making.[2][3]
