Background

One of the youngest in the family of seven sons, Marvin Cortes, was born on November 21, 1992. He is of Honduran origin and American nationality. He attended the community college in his hometown of South Bronx, New York City, where he was raised. Cortes was a sales representative for GUESS. Unexpectedly, he was employed by Zara as a cashier when Danielle, the casting director for season 20 of “America’s Next Top Model,” invited him to try out for the show. In 2013, with her assistance, he performed well in his competition audition out of thousands of others.

In the months that followed the show, Cortes was highlighted in “The Fashionisto” and “ZEPHRA.” In 2014, he served as the model for “Naluda.” Other depictions of him can be seen in “AugustMan Malaysia,” “RUNWAY,” “BELLA New York Magazine,” “iFathom,” “Elléments,” “Annex,” “Dorian,” “PIE,” “Vulkan,” “Desnudo,” and “Adon.” Additionally, he posed alongside Brooke Candy for the “Galore” magazine cover and spread. He modeled for brands like David Hart Menswear, Mondo Guerra, Creative Recreation, NovaStarz, The Miracle Brand, International Playground, New York Speed, and DFYNT Clothing. His debut book, “Don’t Waste Your Looks on Likes,” was released in February 2019 and provided an insight into his experiences in the fashion world. In August 2020, Cortes also launched Beauty by Marvin.

On social media, the Latino model has developed a sizable fan base. Cortes keeps himself on the cutting edge of fashion and in direct contact with his 213,000 Instagram followers by gracing social media with attractive, sexy, and sophisticated content. The model announced on social media on August 1, 2021, that he is a proud member of the L.G.B.T.Q.+ community.
