Edison Fan, a prominent figure in the fashion and social media landscape, has built a diverse and successful career as a model, influencer, entrepreneur, and professional dancer. Born in Nanjing, China, on November 1, 1985, Edison initially gained recognition for his work in the fashion industry. His distinct style and engaging personality have attracted a large following on social media, including over 800,000 followers on Instagram and more than 1 million followers on Weibo.
Edison's journey to prominence includes a successful professional dance career. Before venturing into modeling and entrepreneurship, he was deeply involved in dance, which remains a significant part of his life. This background in dance has influenced his approach to fashion and fitness, blending artistry with athleticism.
In addition to his modeling career, Edison Fan is the founder of OMG (On My Game) Sportswear and U-Touch Underwear. These brands, known for their innovative and inclusive designs, cater to a global audience and have been instrumental in promoting body positivity and diversity, especially among Asian men. Edison's businesses have not only been commercially successful but also serve as platforms for social advocacy, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community.
Edison's personal life is equally inspiring. As one of the few openly gay public figures in China, he has faced and overcome significant challenges. He is also a dedicated single father to his son, Frederic, whom he had through surrogacy. This experience has further strengthened his resolve to be a positive role model and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, using his platform to share his journey and support others facing similar challenges.
Spending his time equally between China and New Zealand, Edison continues to expand his influence, leveraging his talents in dance, fashion, and business to inspire and uplift his followers around the world.
