After the recent fashion weeks in Europe and the upcoming runway shows in New York, here are the next celebrated names in the world of male models, as compiled by the MW team.

On this page, we feature 3 of the hottest- Parker Shinn, Elmer Olsen's Darius Gudinskas and Timothy Craft, of Fusion Model Management!

Calvin Klein's Choice?

Is he the next Calvin Klein signature model?

With so many male models queueing for the much coveted modeling project of all, which in one instant could catapult one's career into the stratosphere...

Now the question is who will be next after Travis Fimmel?

Apparently, Karl Lindman is being groomed to be perhaps one of the few "chosen ones", and who else? Its probably this guy! All of six-feet tall, blond hair and blue eyes American beauty- an Idol in the making, Parker Shinn.

...and models.com has this to say about Parker: "With CK Jeans w/ Mikael Janssen and Obsession w/ Mario Sorrenti on his charts, it seems the house of Calvin is investing heavily in this tousled hair American."

Canadian Hotshot!

More than just boyishly handsome or "pin-up" material, Canadian rising star Darius is both a mystery and a revelation!

Not surprisingly, when Darius first appeared on the runways, he was the overnight sensation! Perhaps intrigued by his seemingly mysterious surname or the subtly-masked foreign accent or even his silent demeanor, many fashion insiders agreed, they want to see him on their shows!

Although relatively new on the scene, he already exudes self-confidence and enthusiam during his shoot for V Magazine.

Trained under the watchful eye of Elmer Olsen, Darius follows a distinguished list of top models, including the one and only Linda Evangelista!

Modeling work to date: With an impressive start at the runways, Darius has initially walk the runways for Calvin Klein [A/W 04-05], D&G, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Missoni, Neil Barrett [S/S 05].

    Shooting Star!

    The first time we took notice of Craft, we only have one word to say- amazing! In one close-up shot (see above), his hair is cut extremely short, revealing his cheekbones, nose and a rather expressive pairs of eyes.

    This one shot alone is enough to capture a high-profile campaign!

    In another shot, we see more of him- literally and figuratively, as we look at his body: taut and not overly musculine, indeed not over-developed by some exercise regimen! Its the body of a young boy just about to discover and appreciate his physical beauty. Again, more than enough to capture a lucrative underwear campaign!

    There are many a young boy-next-door types, but one thing that separates Timothy Craft is his powerful combination of personal charm, sexy and boyish appeal and a certain maturity beyond his age!

    Modeling work to date: Editorial shoots for VMan and Dazed and Confused, plus runway appearances for Roberto Cavalli, Iceberg and Alexander McQueen.
