THEY may not be kings of the catwalk or social media sensations (yet), but these three male models are major influencer­s in the making.

Presley Gerber, the rising star

While somewhat overshadow­ed in 2017 by his little sister, Kaia Gerber, Presley Gerber is definitely one to folbeing low in 2018. As well as a model of the moment, the son of Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford shares striking profesacco­unt sional and personal photos that often make an impression. Whether posing skateboard in hand on the rooftops of New York, in front of a private jet or alongside friends and family, Gerber whips up plenty of enthusiasm on social media. His Instagram alone already has some 522,000 fans and he could easily pass the million mark in 2018.

Nicolas Simoes, the French touch

This French model is very much in demand among major labels (Giorgio Armani, S.T. Dupont, Uniqlo) – and with a physique like his, it’s not hard to see why. Nicolas Simoes made a shrewd move in 2014 when he started his “Style by Simoes” blog, ramped up his Instagram account and became one of France’s most trendy fashion influencer­s. As well as being the perfect ambassador for chic French style, Simoes shares his passion for photograph­y and travel with his 228,000 followers, who also discover new collection­s from the biggest fashion houses. As well as focusing on fashion, he also posts about watches, food and even design. His carefully crafted casual chic style is well worth checking out.
