Striking Posers: History's Hottest 100 Male Models

From:  Boy Culture

Palmero has as strong a claim as any
to the title of "first male supermodel"

Paul Palmero 

(April 25, 1948—)

This Cuban refugee became a Francesco Scavullo favorite, landing on the cover of GQ in the '70s and  doing campaigns for Armani, Valentino, Lanvin and others. He turned to photography himself and was a success there, too, before settling into model management, which he does to this day. This timeless beauty and opinionated veteran is looking to get his memoirs published—until then, one can only imagine the things he saw and did!
