Brad Kroenig has gotten from the modeling industry, everything that a clever and enterprising young man dreams about. Capital, real estate, an amazing client list (Hermes, Chanel, Fendi, Cavalli, Dom Perignon, Gap, Adidas, Tommy Hilfiger!) and a place in fashion history including cameos in Lagerfeld Confidential and his very own multi-volume tome of portraits. You name it, he got it. And THAT is what being an icon is about. |

4Nacho Figueras
Sometimes a model is so perfectly matched to the appeal of the brand they represent that they become more than just a campaign representative, they become the physical embodiment of the brand itself. Nacho Figueras is the total Polo package - with his smoldering good looks, athleticism (he actually plays the sport professionally) and debonair vibe he captures all the qualities of the Ralph Lauren man. Perhaps that’s why the designer made Figueras the face of all three Polo fragrances - the first time any model has ever simultaneously represented all the scents at once. |

Success Models
The eminent Mr Ballou goes to prove that a spectacular model will log a spectacular career, no matter how much the industry changes or shifts. Tyson's unique brand of beauty, flawless professionalism and long-lasting charisma has won him a long catalog of clients. This Texan was discovered at age 15 and has been modeling non-stop since. That kind of career performance is so rare it moves into the territory of awe-inspiring.

2Gabriel Aubry
New York:
Wilhelmina New York
Gabriel Aubrey is one of those rare model icons that looms as a bonafide celebrity even as his legacy of fashion bookings marks him as one of the last of that era of male models worthy of the prefix "super". As a long running fixture of the Calvin Klein brand, Mr. Aubrey still clocks in for duty to this very day. But model watchers will always remember that incredible run that spanned clients such as Hugo Boss, DKNY, Versace and Tommy Hilfiger. |

1Mark Vanderloo

Wilhelmina New York
Milan:
Why Not Model Management
With a slew of campaigns that have gone down in history and a nearly flawless slate of editorial work Mark Vanderloo is the gold standard of male modeling. You name it, he has done it - Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, Giorgio Armani - every major booking there is. As one of the original 90s male supermodels Vanderloo, has emerged as last man standing with a name, that still stands for professionalism, dedication and unrivaled presence. With his new DKNY fragrance campaign and editorials in V, Vogue Italia and GQ introducing his face to a whole new generation of fashion addicts, Vanderloo has transcended the limitations of the industry wide youth obsession and cemented himself as an enduring icon.
