7 of the hardest working male models this season

With the spotlight on industry changes in menswear, the shows and collections have more attention than ever, and so too, do the models. London, in particular, is a breeding ground for new faces—at streetwear brands such as Iceberg and Bobby Abley—with many of the models chalking up double-figure show appearances. Elsewhere, those landing a space in the coveted shows in Milan and Paris have a sure-fire ticket to accelerating their careers. Vogue rounds up the male models earning their miles on the runway this season thus far.

Basketball player and vlogger Akeem Osborne arrived on the scene for Riccardo Tisci’s first Burberry show in September 2018 (which included both mens- and womenswear)—the designer personally created a made-to-measure look to fit his tall, 6ft 4in, frame. Born in Birmingham, UK, Osborne is of Chinese and Jamaican descent; and has already walked at Bobby Abley, Iceberg and Bianca Saunders at London Fashion Week Men’s.

With his striking Nordic features and mod haircut, Thyssen made an impression walking for Kent & Curwen, Lou Dalton and Iceberg last season. This season he returned to the Iceberg catwalk in London, and is due to hit the runway at Givenchy in Paris next.

Bournemouth-born Hayton was scouted on London’s Oxford Street, and has since closed a Versace show and landed a place in Jacquemus’ menswear debut. This season he’s looking even busier; he’s walked four shows so far—including Moschino and Bobby Abley—with eight options on the books for Paris.

Moises Gallardo Pineda

Age: 20
Nationality: Spanish
Height: 6ft 2in / 192cm
Represented by: Premier Model Management (UK)/ Mad Models (Spain)
Gallardo Pineda’s 6ft 2in frame and enviable eyebrows have landed him a number of editorial shoots, but this season he’s focusing on the catwalk, walking for John Lawrence Sullivan, Chalayan, Astrid Andersen and Cottweiler so far.

Nationality: British
Height: 6ft 2in / 188.5cm

Griffiths was scouted in his native London on his way to a festival in 2017. Since, he’s been compared to a young Muhammad Ali (he boxes, too), and become known for his panther-like glide on the catwalks of Versace and Burberry to name a few—plus Edward Crutchley, Bobby Abley, Iceberg and Christopher Raeburn already this season.

Keenan Gyamfi

Self-confessed sneakerhead Gyamfi was signed to Premier after applying directly to the agency. And looks like his instinct to model was right; this season he’s walked for Qasimi, Xander Zhou, Astrid Andersen and London College of Fashion so far.
