Belgian newcomer Elias de Poot’s face speaks for itself. As one of the most visually arresting male models to appear in recent months, De Poot is in the possession of chiseled cheekbones, a steely glare, and a Mick Jagger shag. His retro allure has caught the attention of Topman—which tapped him to open its Fall show—as well as J.W.Anderson and Craig Green.

In addition to showing up at the very best shows, Finnlay Davis might just be having the best time of anyone during the collectsions. Whether he’s grabbings a selfie with A$AP Rocky or walking for J.W.Anderson for a second time, Davis is making the most of what might be his biggest season thus far. Already a runway vet with turns for everyone from Prada to Jil Sander, Davis has also become a regular in the images of photographers like Steven Meisel and Willy Vanderperre.

Since debuting as a Prada exclusive during the Spring men’s shows, Jalloh has kept himself busy working with photographers like Paolo Roversi and appearing in the pages of on-trend independent magazines. Fall finds him in all the right places during London Collections Men, walking Topman, Craig Green, and Burberry. With his curls and pout, Jalloh is completely in line with the romantic look of the moment.

Arriving at the Fall shows looking like he’d stepped out of a period film, Leon Dame has quickly become one of the season’s must-have boys. Showing up at Coach, J.W.Anderson, Alexander McQueen, and Burberry, Dame is one of the boys to beat for elite bookings.

With a Missoni campaign alongside Freja Beha Erichsen debuting just as he’s hitting his runway stride, the elegant Victor Ndigwe is on the cusp of major success. Entering the industry by winning Elite Model Look Nigeria, Ndigwe made a splash last season at Hermès, and his momentum hasn’t slowed since.
