Before fashion editorials and multimillion-dollar contracts, the impossible standard already existed: divine musculature, symmetrical profile, an unattainable aura. The Greeks knew how to sell us smoke shaped like a god.

Cary Grant

He was never a model, but every frame of him was a campaign. English style, unfailing smile, and suits tailored to the size of his ego. Hollywood dressed him, but he set the code.

Marcus Schenkenberg

The Swedish torso that Calvin Klein used as a billboard in the 90s. Wet, tanned, always on the edge of a pool. He didn't talk much, but his abdomen was fluent in 12 languages.

Tyson Beckford

The industry feared Black skin until Tyson made it a standard. He broke both catwalks and prejudices. Ralph Lauren gave him the spotlight, and he set it on fire.

David Gandy

Classic British reincarnated in a 90-kilo model. His advertisement on a white yacht for Dolce & Gabbana is, basically, the new Michelangelo's David: with more oil, of course.

Fabio Lanzoni

A mix between a low-cost Hercules and a romance novel prince. Ridiculous, yes. But also unforgettable. Fabio turned excess into aesthetics. The meme before memes.

Jon Kortajarena

The Spaniard who brought dense eyebrows, tense jawlines, and "I couldn't care less" looks to global covers. Muse of Tom Ford and half the planet. He never got his hair messed up, inexplicably.

Sean O'Pry

Perfect face discovered on MySpace. Yes, MySpace. Taylor Swift used him as a human decoration in the music video for 'Blank Space' and no one complained. Eyes that hypnotize and a jawline that could cut glass. Too handsome for this decade.

Alton Mason

He doesn't walk; he choreographs. The model who transformed the runway into a stage. Versace loves him, the audience applauds. No free muscles here: there's technique, precision, and a wicked swing in every step.

Brad Kroenig

Karl Lagerfeld made him his favorite, his muse, his human Ken. Brad was more than just a pretty face: he was Chanel’s wet dream materialized in flesh and black-and-white campaigns.

Lucky Blue Smith

With that name, he was bound to be famous. A teenager with alien genetics and platinum blonde bangs. Tumblr loved him, and so did fashion. A digital phenomenon with a statue-like face.

David Beckham

The only one who went from the soccer field to H&M underwear without changing his expression. Global icon, abdominals tracked by satellite, husband of a Spice Girl. The brand is him.
