Some are born under the spotlight, while others chase it with passion and determination.
Nathan Mannevy belongs to the latter — but with such a decisive stride that he already feels like a future icon.
At just 21, Nathan is the first model to inaugurate A Day With, Vanity teen’s new column dedicated to emerging talents: models first, but also brands, and designers who could become the stars of tomorrow, the figures the world will watch and remember.
This series holds a special place in the heart of our magazine.
Originally launched years ago in another platform, it now returns in a renewed, more soulful form — ready to discover and celebrate those, like Nathan, who bring energy, vision, and an undeniable presence.
For this opening feature, the shoot had to be equally remarkable: a collaboration with Marine Serre and her Fall/Winter 2026 collection gives the project a unique aura, blending avant-garde daring with contemporary craftsmanship.
Every frame tells a story — not just of a model, but of a journey, a vision, a future taking shape before our eyes.
Welcome to the world of A Day With. Welcome to a day with Nathan Mannevy.

Hometown: Pau, France
What makes your hometown special?
The best thing about Pau is definitely the people. But the city itself is amazing too — from the Château de Pau, built by Henri IV, to the Palais des Pyrénées, where you can enjoy stunning mountain views and hang out with friends at the nearby bars.
How were you discovered?
I was discovered on Instagram, which connected me to photographers and people in the fashion industry. That’s really how everything started.
First modeling job:
My very first shoot was for Technikart magazine. That experience was eye-opening and confirmed that modeling was what I wanted to pursue.
Before modeling:
Before modeling, I was studying commerce and figuring out what I wanted to do with my life.
If not a model:
Modeling has always been my passion, so I haven’t seriously considered another career. But I’ve always dreamed of traveling the world and building an international career.
Favorite modeling experience:
I love photoshoots — they’re exciting and inspiring. Getting to see the work of makeup artists, photographers, and technicians up close, while connecting with everyone on set, is incredible. My first experience with Technikart stands out, but honestly, every shoot teaches me something new.
Free-time hobbies:
In my free time, I play guitar, go to the gym, hang out with friends, and meet new people. Working as a barista also lets me connect with so many people in the fashion world — it’s amazing to have conversations about everything and nothing!
Currently listening to:
Jaden Hossler — he’s my favorite artist right now.
Favorite movie or TV series:
Star Wars: Episode III — Anakin has been my favorite character since I was a kid. I still love it!
Favorite fragrance or designer pick:
My favorite fragrance is Tom Ford Ombré Leather — I can’t get enough of it.
Current obsession:
I’m obsessed with modeling — especially photoshoots, pushing myself further in the industry, and landing an international campaign.
Place you’d love to visit:
I’m drawn to remote Asian villages. Experiencing those ancient cultures would teach me so much.
If you were an animal:
I’d be a wolf. They’re loyal to family and remind us that we move forward better together than alone.
