“I’ve been modeling since I was about 15″— Vinnie Hacker reflects on his early days, achievements, and future goals
Transitioning from an amateur video editor to a sought-after model at global events like Paris Fashion Week, Vinnie Hacker’s swift ascent on social media platforms is evident. However, during an interview with VMagazine (published on June 5, 2023), he emphasized that his journey has always focused more on the community than the metrics.
“It feels great to connect with fans, especially since I’m often working. So, when I can interact with them, it’s really special,” Hacker shared from his Los Angeles home.
Raised in a devout Catholic family, Vinnie Hacker’s upbringing instilled a strong sense of faith. His mother, Maria, works as a 911 dispatcher, while his father is an electrician. As a teenager, Hacker was involved in baseball, playing for Seattle Select and O’Dea High School.
Interestingly, Hacker claims that he never sought fame when he began his social media journey; he simply enjoyed sharing his life online. A pivotal moment occurred during his junior year when a video of him in front of a mirror went viral.
This exposure catapulted his follower count from 20,000 to hundreds of thousands, transforming him from a casual streamer into a digital superstar almost overnight.
However, Hacker recognizes that social media fame can be transient. To broaden his horizons, he ventured into modeling, signing a contract with IMG Models in early 2023, an industry he’s been intrigued by since he was young.
“I’ve been involved in modeling since I was around 15, but it took a couple of years before I started gaining traction. Now, diving deeper into this world through various shows has been incredibly enjoyable for me,” Hacker explained.
With palpable excitement, Hacker spoke about his aspirations to become a versatile entrepreneur for the next generation. He envisions establishing clothing lines, pursuing modeling opportunities, and launching businesses.
“I’m naturally inclined to explore different avenues,” he mentioned. “I love initiating various projects and finding ways to integrate them all.”
As of now, Vinnie Hacker has captivated the attention of iconic fashion brands like Dior and Saint Laurent and is making an impression on global Fashion Week stages.
