Model Lust : Jesus Luz


Proving once again that she has amazing taste in men, Madonna made like a cougar and wrapped her claws around Brazilian model Jesus Luz who at the time was 25 years younger than her 50 years. The two met while she shot her spread for W Magazine in Rio de Janiero.



Before, during, and after getting into the groove with Madonna, Luz has been on the runway for DSquared, Dolce & Gabbana, and Givenchy to name a few. It seems venturing into the cougars den was the best career move he has made thus far. Featured in publications like l'Officiel Hommes and GQ , the Lust List loves the above photo from Interview in which he channels Madonna circa her "Sex" era in the early nineties.

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.”

Gucci Woven Leather Holdall


This bag has proven to be the highlight of Gucci's SS11 Collection. A supple brown leather holdall with woven handles, a detachable travel tag, discreet double 'G' insignia and a panel of woven intreccio detail. It is beyond timeless [or as us fashion icons say "an investment piece"] and I can definitely see myself toting this on the plane to New York next month holding l'Officiel Hommes and the iPod. However, at $4,700 it will probably be the only thing I'd be wearing, and something tells me I won't make it past security at LAX naked with an amazing bag.

l'Officiel Hommes


I talk about it enough, I thought I should tell you about it. l'Officiel Hommes is one of my favorite twenty-dollars-for-a-magazine-you-don't-really-need guilty pleasures. Big, glossy, high fashion, and in French, which means I can't actually read it. The cover pictured is actually the first issue that landed in my hands, and the first time I fell in love with frequent guest, and my first Model Lust subject, Andres Velencoso.

l'Officiel Hommes made history in 2005 as a magazine created for the first time by a stylist and not by a journalist. Marie-José Susskind-Jalou,of Editions Jalou Publications, asked one of the founders of the Colette boutique in Paris, Milan Vukmirovic, to make a bi-annual magazine dedicated one hundered percent to fashion. It sets out to adress the trends of each season and presents a luxurious showcase for men's fashion.
