The male supermodel is an elusive commodity. In a business where boys can burn out fast the guys who stay in the game have something special. More than good looks or chiseled abs, these guys boast professionalism, repeat bookings and the kind of mega-contracts that only a select few ever get. With years of experience and multi-faceted careers that can extend into acting, hosting and occasionally music, these boys prove that versatility and charm can take you everywhere.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- At least 7 years of high profile work with top magazines, photographers and brands.
- Media presence outside of the fashion industry.
- Work that is considered iconic in nature i.e.. campaigns, covers & television commercials.
- Must have had at least one long term contract

Reputation is a careful mix of visibility and longevity, and Brad has both in spades. In the industry since starting off with Abercrombie & Fitch in 2002, this handsome Midwesterner is the picture of all-American masculinity and gets his high-fashion credibility from serving as Karl Lagerfeld’s favorite for years on end, with a range of fans from the Gap and Tommy Hilfiger to Chanel and Fendi and a place in fashion history with cameos in Lagerfeld Confidential and his very own multi-volume tome of portraits. Now well-established as one of the foremost faces in the game, he also has the distinction of being father to one of Lagerfeld’s new stars in his son Hudson. How’s that for a legacy?

Instagram has taken over the fashion industry of late, but Chabernaud's impressive body of work is proof of the value of doing things the old-fashioned way. Rather than shirtless selfies and workout videos, the Frenchman has built a career on quality and perseverance, continuing to walk top shows every season at a point when most others would have quit long ago. Edgy labels like Prada, Jil Sander, Valentino, and Gucci were early fans, while mass-market brands like H&M and the Gap have kept him going for years. Having been snapped by nearly every major photographer—Inez & Vinoodh, Willy Vanderperre, and David Sims are all repeat customers—it's hard to imagine there's anything left he hasn't accomplished yet, although we are eagerly awaiting him to prove us wrong.

In Tom Ford's 2009 movie A Single Man, Colin Firth's George is seduced by a hustler whose rolled-up t-shirt sleeves and messy pompadour bring to mind no less than the iconic James Dean. For many moviegoers, this was their first introduction to Kortajarena, who was already a familiar face to fashion insiders. A favorite of the late Karl Lagerfeld and Ford as well, who cast him in a number of ads, the Spaniard has been scoring top-notch covers and campaigns for over a decade. With numerous fragrance campaigns in recent years, it's clear that Kortajarena remains at the top of his league, and with his Spanish-language acting career taking off, the rest of the world is ready to discover him as well.

His two decade career started with work for Ralph Lauren and was followed by much recognition outside the fashion industry (VH1 and People Magazine) and work with television (ABC and Bravo channels). This fall's Polo campaign, coming on the 20th year anniversary of his first campaign for them prove that his iconic beauty is timeless and still very much in demand. Tyson just may be one of the most recognizable male supermodels ever.
