| Rising-star power |
Corey Baptiste
(January 30, 1991—)
One of today's most in-demand models, this exquisite Trinidadian/Grenadian-American guy is from...the Bronx! Like at least one other guy on this list, he was brought into the industry after working at an A&F store. He was snapped up immediately and has been working steadily since, including for DKNY, Michael Kors and Tommy Hilfiger. Most notably, at a 2011 D&G runway show, David Agbodji opened and Baptiste closed, making it a rare moment when two men of color had anchored an A-list show.
He recently chose Jay-Z's "Star is Born" as a favorite track because "I believe, with all that is happening right now, that my star is rising."
