When it comes to models, the household names tend to be women. Male models who become famous beyond the industry are few and far between, but the male equivalents of Cara and Jourdan are out there, and they're working just as hard. 

In honour of London Collections: Men, we've rounded up the 20 male models worth paying attention to. Some, like Clement Chabernaud (pictured) are at the top of their game, while others, like Abiah Hostvedt, are hotly tipped to be on the cusp of fantastic careers. 

So what are the common denominators among these men? Like their female counterparts, they can be divided broadly into commercial models (conventionally handsome, buff and radiating testosterone) and editorial models (lean, skinny frames and breath-taking cheekbones). Whichever category they fall into, you'll be seeing these faces again – so read up on them now, and be ready to know them by name.
