The New Man

Of DNA's new sensation Samuel de Cubber, Tom Ford declared he has "the kind of male beauty, not seen since the 1970's." It's major props for a major new face as de Cubber fronts the new YSL men's fragrance M7. But don't think that this is another disposable male bimbo. Mr de Cubber is a Tae Kwon Do champion proving the new adage that it's the male models with a healthy life outside of the business that get the most mileage these days.

Wonder Boy

Don't count out the power of the avant-garde boy, just yet however. The other male model sensation storming the scene is IMG's Gordon Elwood with a Prada and Miu-Miu show exclusive under his belt, editorials in Another with Horst, Pop and Numero with Steven Klein and Dazed and Confused with Martina Hoogland. Says the 16 year old Canadian wonderboy "I guess the whole business is pretty mesmerizing." Well with clients like those, of course it would be.
