Request–Turning to photographer Stefani Pappas once more to capture the creative for this season’s show package, Request lends their boys a little edge with a subway shoot — not that they need it. With regular bad boys Yuri Pleskun and Cole Mohr available for the fashionable plunge, Request keeps their board in top shape. There’s the always popular David Agbodji, the strapping Arthur Kulkov as well as standout up and comers, ranging from Misa Patinszki to Baptiste Radufe. Add to the mix, a fast-rising Jesse Shannon or recent Request recruit Willy Cartier and you have an agency packing solid muscle, the fashion variety if course.

Bananas–True to their offbeat name, all is well in paradise when it comes to Paris agency Bananas. Serving up classic faces alongside fashion’s favorite quirky boy, the infectious personalities are in intense demand and Bananas has the supply. At one end of the spectrum is bad boy extraordinaire Yuri Pleskun, matched this season with the charm of new kid on the block, Jake Shortall or furthermore, Eric Ramos. For dark and brooding, the striking Lucho Jacob is always a great match or for an androgynous flair, there is Jaco Van Den Hoven. From constant cover star RJ King to the classic blue-chip achievements of Nicolas Ripoll or Ryan Kennedy, Bananas’ shining lot comes full circle with a guaranteed fit for all Paris’ coming attractions.

Sporty Remix–Stylist Rich Aybar is enlisted for the latest issue of Essential Homme, working with photographer Eli Schmidt.
