This rising star is about to give male models everywhere a run for their money. Look out Baptiste Giabiconi, David Agbodji and Clement Chabernaud newcomer Ethan James is approaching! At only 20 years old, I am predicting he will be the next big thing in the modeling world. Or, at least I hope he will be; I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing more of him! James is from a very small town in Michigan, but now resides in New York City, of course!

James has been featured in V magazine, Dazed & Confused, And Men and City magazine. He most recently became the face of Paul Smith for their Fall/Winter 2010 ad campaign (below), and I must say that he looks amazing. Coincidentally James has a very strong love for fashion, and always knew his future was in the industry. I guess you could say he’s a man who knows exactly what he wants, and makes it happen. A good looking guy who is also career-oriented? He sounds like a keeper!
