With the backing of blue chip clients, key photographers and legions of admirers, today's top tier male models are at the forefront of fashion. The era of the male supermodel is upon us and the movers and shakers of the moment are proving themselves every bit as essential as their female counterparts. From the daily call sheets of photographers like Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, Mert and Marcus, Bruce Weber and Steven Klein, to ads for megabrands like Prada, Burberry, Calvin Klein and Versace, male models are making their presence felt.
The pages of style bibles like Vogue Hommes, AnotherMan, GQ, Details and Fantastic Man are filled with striking faces, but campaigns are still the standard by which all are judged. Finding the perfect balance between edgy editorials and coveted contracts is what makes stars, but holding the interest of major brands over a length of time solidifies careers. In a competitive market flooded with hundreds, the guys who matter are the ones who bring something extra to the table.
Consequently here are the defining faces of the moment, MODELS.com's Top 50 Working Male Models listing.

A former ballet dancer and fashion design student, this sharp Swiss broke out in a big way opening Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2017 show as an exclusive. He quickly made the leap to campaigns with the French house’s Fall 2017 ads by Steven Meisel, who also shot him for Vogue Italia as well as the Louis Vuitton and Versace campaigns. Calvin Klein campaigns and an Iceberg fragrance cement his top status.

Discovered outside a Justin Bieber concert, this Spaniard landed a spot on our list of 2016’s runway breakouts by walking for everyone from Prada and Louis Vuitton to Dior Homme and JW Anderson, opening and closing Valentino’s Spring 2017 show along the way.

This year has seen him in ads by Meisel again for Loewe and Versace and Hugo Boss by David Sims.

A Model of the Week from this past January, this one-of-a-kind Brit has come a long way since modeling for his Central St. Martins classmates. Appearances on the Burberry Prorsum and Kenzo Fall 2014 runways led to a Stone Island campaign, and a stellar Spring 2015 show season—including Dolce & Gabbana, Dries Van Noten, and DKNY—that earned him a spot in our Future Faces feature this summer. An appearance this season in the energetic Hunter campaign keeps the momentum going for this fine-art major.
