Model Lust : Baptiste Giabiconi


Baptiste Giabiconi is a French male model from Marseille, France, and is currently the face of Chanel, Fendi, Karl Lagerfeld, and Dior Homme.

Baptiste was signed to DNA Model Management New York in 2008 and was quickly discovered by Karl Lagerfeld, who describes Baptiste as his muse. I haven't found any official confirmation, but it's rumored that Baptiste is also Karl's boy toy. In an interview he describes Baptiste as “a boy version of Gisele Bundchen: skinny, skinny but with an athletic body — good for clothes and great with no clothes.”

Baptiste is currently the most successful male model in the world on models.com's list of the Top 50 International Male Models, as of December 2010. He has appeared in editorial spreads for l'Officiel Hommes, Numero Homme, Purple, Vogue, V Man, and Interview.

In 2009, supermodel Naomi Campbell met Giabiconi in Moscow and told him, “It’s not right. We all have defects. You have none.”
