Johan Akan – 2,697 followers

Probably one of the fashion industry’s best kept secrets, Akan is most recognized as the face of gay-friendly room share service Misterbnb, and the model who posed nude alongside Catherine Denueve for Têtu magazine. His cult-like following on Twitter and close relationships with several top European gay porn stars make him a prime candidate for a future sex tape.

Richard Deiss – 653 followers

Originally vying for a career in professional extreme sports, Deiss moved to Montreal in 2012 to follow in his mother’s footsteps and become a fashion model. He booked his first national campaign three days into his career and continues showing promise as an up-and-coming international superstar.

Willy Cartier – 99,058 followers

Born in France, this beautifully mixed man shares roots with France, Vietnam, and Senegal. Aside from modeling in national campaigns for Diesel and Givenchy, Cartier gained widespread fame in 2012 when it was revealed that he was possibly dating rapper Frank Ocean.

Baptiste Giabiconi – 15,606 followers

Giabiconi is often pegged as the world’s highest paid male model, perhaps because he’s been romantically linked as the kept boy of legendary designer and creative director Karl Lagerfeld for at least five years. Lagerfeld referred to him as the “boy version of Gisele Bündchen” in a 2012 interview, and it was reported that supermodel Naomi Campbell called him flawless in 2009. He is currently the face of Chanel and Fendi, and is working on a pivot into the music industry.

Axel Serine – 3,791 followers

Originally a dancer, Serine was discovered while performing with his hip-hop dance crew on his island home of Martinique in the French West Indies. His look has been described as “both street and sophisticated,” one that landed him a year-long contract walking for Jean Paul Gaultier’s F/W and S/S shows in 2013.

Clement Chabernaud – 4,308 followers

Chabernaud began his career as a Jil Sander exclusive in 2007 and continued representing the brand for four consecutive years. As a man on the older end of the youth-favored spectrum, he boasts a resume that includes starring in campaigns for Roberto Cavalli, Gianfranco Ferre, and Prada, as well as value brands including J. Crew and H&M. Currently, he is the face of Gucci’s F/W 2014 campaign and J. Crew’s July style guide.

Willy Monfret – 11,460 followers

Monfret began modeling after a career-ending injury stunted his plans to become a professional track & field star. He has since modeled for top brands including Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss, and Calvin Klein, and is well known as a House DJ who blends French music with Caribbean flavor. He appeared opposite Nicky Minaj in the 2010 music video for “Right Thru Me“.

Kevin Flamme – 426 followers

Still relatively new to the fashion industry, 24-year-old Flamme has found much success in Paris and Milan primarily walking for luxury brands including Prada, Dries Van Noten, Calvin Klein, and YSL. His career began appropriately in 2008 with a several-page spread in the semiannual Benetton catalogue.
