Marcus Schenkenberg
One of the most popular and in-demand male models of the '90s was Marcus Schenkenberg. This Swedish-born model became one of the Calvin Klein male endorsers. This 6-foot-4 Swede was born Aug. 4, 1968, near
Stockholm.
Barry King, a U.S. photographer, discovered Schenkenberg
while he was roller-skating in one of the beaches in California. As of
2011, he is still one of the highest paid models in the world and is
also considered to have the best body among male models.
Tyson Beckford
-
As a teenager, Tyson Beckford became involved in drugs, gangs and other illegal activities. But he was spotted by an editor of the Source magazine, who helped him enter a New York modeling agency. Ralph Lauren then hired him to be an exclusive model for Polo Sport. From then on, the popularity of Beckford grew and he was sought after by major magazines to be on their covers and spreads. This 6-foot model, as of 2011, is the host of the reality show "Make Me a Supermodel."

Larry Scott
Even
after a decade Larry Scott remains one of the industry's most coveted
faces. After his iconic turn for Armani (who can forget his ten years as
the face of Acqua Di Gio) as well as work with nearly every designer
Scott continues to book choice jobs.
With a recent resurgence between
the pages of Interview and Vogue Hommes International Larry is poised to
continue his winning streak.
Alex Lundqvist
The
Swedish sensation exploded onto the modeling scene with the compelling
blend of rugged good looks and winning personality.
His versatility and
professionalism combined with one of the best physiques in the business
appealed to a whole range of clients, from Versace, Guess and Lagerfeld
to Hugo Boss. One of the first of the male supermodels of the 90's, Alex
remains to this day, a fixture in an industry that remains loyal to
those who can always deliver the "shot".
Tony Ward
The
definition of longevity? That would be the stellar career of Mr Tony
Ward, actor, photographer, painter and iconic model whose portfolio has
been stacked with images shot by the likes of Steven Klein, Steven
Meisel and Terry Richardson and for more campaigns and editorials than
could be chronicled in this space.
. 
And if you doubt this man's eternal
appeal, please consult recent clients like Diesel and i-D magazine.
A
longtime favorite of many industry insiders, Andres and his unique
blend of sensuality and masculinity finally took off with such
starmakers as Mert and Marcus in the hugely exposed J-LO Louis Vuitton
campaign and the still running Chanel Allure campaign shot by Patrick
Demarchelier.
The subject of Vogue Paris' first male profile with Inez
and Vinoodh, Andres just might be the first male supermodel of the
Zeros.
Brad Kroenig
Brad
Kroenig has gotten from the modeling industry, everything that a clever
and enterprising young man dreams about. Capital, real estate, an
amazing client list (Hermes, Chanel, Fendi, Cavalli, Dom Perignon, Gap,
Adidas, Tommy Hilfiger!)
and a place in fashion history including cameos
in Lagerfeld Confidential and his very own multi-volume tome of
portraits. You name it, he got it. And THAT is what being an icon is
about.
Nacho Figueras
Sometimes
a model is so perfectly matched to the appeal of the brand they
represent that they become more than just a campaign representative,
they become the physical embodiment of the brand itself. Nacho Figueras
is the total Polo package – with his smoldering good looks, athleticism
(he actually plays the sport professionally) and debonair vibe he
captures all the qualities of the Ralph Lauren man.
Perhaps that’s why
the designer made Figueras the face of all three Polo fragrances – the
first time any model has ever simultaneously represented all the scents
at once.
Tayson Ballou
The
eminent Mr Ballou goes to prove that a spectacular model will log a
spectacular career, no matter how much the industry changes or shifts.
Tyson's unique brand of beauty, flawless professionalism and
long-lasting charisma has won him a long catalog of clients. This Texan
was discovered at age 15 and has been modeling non-stop since. That kind
of career performance is so rare it moves into the territory of
awe-inspiring.
Gabriel Aubry
Gabriel Aubrey is one of those rare model icons that looms as a bonafide celebrity even as his legacy of fashion bookings marks him as one of the last of that era of male models worthy of the prefix "super". As a long running fixture of the Calvin Klein brand, Mr. Aubrey still clocks in for duty to this very day.
But model watchers will always
remember that incredible run that spanned clients such as Hugo Boss,
DKNY, Versace and Tommy Hilfiger.
Mark Vanderloo
With
a slew of campaigns that have gone down in history and a nearly
flawless slate of editorial work Mark Vanderloo is the gold standard of
male modeling. You name it, he has done it – Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss,
Giorgio Armani – every major booking there is. As one of the original
90s male supermodels Vanderloo, has emerged as last man standing with a
name, that still stands for professionalism, dedication and unrivaled
presence.
With his new DKNY fragrance campaign and editorials in V,
Vogue Italia and GQ introducing his face to a whole new generation of
fashion addicts, Vanderloo has transcended the limitations of the
industry wide youth obsession and cemented himself as an enduring icon.
Mark Vanderloo was born in
Holland and got his first modelling stint at the age of 22 when he posed
for the Got Milk campaign advertisement. Because of this ad, an agency
offered him a career in the modelling industry. He became Calvin Klein's
model, posing for the perfume ad Obsession. Because of his increasing
popularity, he became one of the first male models to be on the cover of
Marie Claire.
As of 2011, Vanderloo is the highest paid model of all
time.
