As one of modeling’s current It boys, Alessio Pozzi is right at home on the runway for labels like Calvin Klein, Moschino, and Brioni. Elegant, athletic, and capable of making outlandish designs seem effortless, Pozzi has earned a fan club that includes fellow Italians Riccardo Tisci, Stefano Gabbana, and Domenico Dolce. When he isn’t conquering fashion, Pozzi is your average gorgeous, jet-setting model, frequently updating his Instagram with eye-candy shots from scenic locales.

Of Italian and Indian descent, Fabio Mancini is strikingly beautiful, with high cheekbones, abs that don’t quit, and an undeniably masculine appeal. And the first designer to take notice of Mancini was none other than Giorgio Armani, who handpicked him for a space on his Spring 2012 runway. And wouldn’t you know it, Mancini’s been working nonstop ever since.

Leave the waifs and rockers to other labels—Dolce Gabbana likes its male models fit, handsome, and frequently shirtless! Need proof? Look no further than one of the brand’s mainstays, the gorgeous Matteo Guidarelli, a dapper gent with six-pack abs and an unrivaled selfie game.

A soccer fan who was scouted on the streets of Milan, Elia Cometti has made the most of his five years in the modeling business. Snagging consistent clients like Giorgio Armani, Dolce Gabbana, Calvin Klein, and Philipp Plein is no small feat, but Cometti makes it all look easy—he even manages to still sneak in the occasional football game.

A true Renaissance man—in the home of the Renaissance!—Tommaso de Benedictis balances his appearances in campaigns for Gucci with time spent studying art history and traveling. Born in New York of Italian descent and now based in Rome and Paris, De Benedictis speaks multiple languages befitting his jet-set lifestyle. Though he sat things out during Milan, De Benedictis is set to appear on the runway during the Paris shows—the smart money would have him turning up at Valentino, where he’s become one of Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli’s favorite faces.
