(Cover) - EN Star Style - David Gandy used to be obsessed with shell suits.

The star is the highest paid male model in the world, and is famous for baring all in underwear adverts for Dolce & Gabbana. David didnt always used to be so stylish though, and used to love lazing around in crinkly tracksuits. As a child the sportswear was his outfit of choice, something he now finds hilarious.
