The chiseled jaw, the perfect skin, the ideal fit; the young American Corey Baptiste has it all. So evident was this that 2 major brands, DKNY and Benetton snapped him up his first season out of the gate. Looks like a long distance runner, this gorgeous one.

Arran's big 2012 debut saw him in 4 Calvin Klein campaigns, followed by 2 in a row for Armani. A cool young man with an even cooler name makes him an obvious choice for 2013.
