Anyway - Congrats to Zhao Lei for snatching a slot under The Money Guys and Top Icons. It's nice to see a male asian model on the list. Although his works are not mostly based from the West, it is still an impressive accomplishment. He has been in numerous campaigns in Asia.

Originally posted by Exzime. This thread is like "post any male models you think are hot in underwear" / *insert something sexual* instead of actually discussing about their achievements, their art and career. It's quite depreciating, considering there are tons of male models who are rather successful in their professional careers but do not look anywhere near half of the models being posted here.

Originally posted by ShouldersSideways He may have the most flawless bone structure I've ever seen also I know who so many female models but I couldn't name a single one of the men in this thread

He seriously does. His '14 Folio Magazine spread is the evidence of it.



And yes, this is the issue that I want to raise as well. We know Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss etc. due their line of work and accomplishment in modelling industry. But people can barely name any male supermodels - Unless you're really fond of male models, then you know who they are. Other than that, I doubt it, it's just another "oh i think hes a hot model but idrc who he is and idrc if hes successful model or not" (the post above me is the evidence of that - no names or whatsoever). That's why it's great to discuss about their career because that is what lacking as of now.

I'm quite glad that Lucky Blue Smith is gaining attention in the media as a male model because of his booming popularity. He's one of the fewest male models who doesn't act as an accessory but a front runner of his campaign.

Alessio Pozzi, he was v friendly when I met him backstage at Givenchy SS15

Mitchell Slaggert, I think he might be involved in the next Calvin Klein campaign (the DS2 campaign is great though)

Victor Ndigwe, a prettier Adrien Sahores IMO



Julian Schneyder, fave #1.1 from 2015

Matty Carrington, fave #1.2 from 2015

Kit Butler, fave #1.3 from 2015 (and killing it this FW)



Top new faces from AW16
Sol Goss

Elias de Poot

Ivo Buchta (not new face but love him) & Gabriel Vieira, who I see doing something w/ Givenchy


& I hope casting directors move on w/ the stunt that is Lucky Blue Smith xx

Kit Butler and Tre Samuels are my fav models of FW16 so far.

Seems like Milan has gotten over him. He hasn't done much shows there.

Originally posted by ItsJim I could lay on his hairy chest for years, he is pure perfection. This thread needs more otters!

Originally posted by taylamour 1000000% evidence that all he offered was his dyed hair now that it's gone.

He actually looks like Matthew Noszka there.

What is his name? I need to know who this hot papi is.

Originally posted by Exzime. Why did he dye his hair again? The icy blonde hair was what made him stand out from the rest and kickstarted his career. He actually looks like Matthew Noszka there.

Speaking of Matty, I really hope to see more of him in the future. I like his look.

Originally posted by Rogue Omg that must have been a good experience! I'm glad he was nice instead of rude and stuck up. Does he speak English well?

Originally posted by taylamour He didn't speak enough of it for me to tell (his pronunciation was spot on so...), but his was also back when it was his first season of walking iirc, so I imagine his English has since improved. He's probably fluent since most people I know his age who live in/around Milan were taught English in schools.
