He also walked for Alexander McQueen, Dior Homme, Rick Owens, Yohji Yamamoto, Lanvin, Paul Smith, and others. According to McMillan's booking agent, he was the most booked male model that year.[8]

Since then, McMillan has worked with photographers Mert and Marcus for LOVE magazine,[9] Jack Pierson for Another magazine and Purple magazine,[10] Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia,[11] and Patrick Demarchelier for Vogue.[12]

McMillan and Quinto also had a home in Upstate New York.[20] McMillan used his time there to paint and take care of their two dogs, Skunk and Rocco.[20] The relationship ended in early 2019.[21]
