MALE MODEL HUMPDAY: Off the Runway

Lester Brathwaite — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 21:36:01 +0000

While the men’s fall 2012 season has been a decidedly gentlemanly affair so far, some designers — namely Dolce & Gabbana and Frankie Morello — chose to bare a little male model flesh between those incredibly-tailored suits, opulent furs and dramatic capes. This Male Model Humpday, we give you a sampling of the man candy Milan had to offer.

And as a special treat, Models.com teamed up with Luca Finoti to present this short of boys getting pelted with what looks like paint, but you can pretend it’s whatever you want. I know I did.

Umit Benan: Fall 2009 Collection

If you can create a collection that you can model on an older looking man, and still have a young guy like myself dying to get my hands on most of the collection, you know you have a winner. That is exactly what Umit Benan has done here. His collection makes this grey bearded man look 30 years old again. I love the boots and coats included in this collection, and the styling is so well done. I’m not one to wear browns and blues, but this is a collection that goes against the grain for me.
