Ibrahim Baaith Flaunts It

Last week, we previewed American Idol 6's Jenry Bejarano in the latest issue of Flaunt, the edgy Los Angeles-based fashion bible whose almost-monthly editorials featuring black and Latino models and actors have become required reading. Here is one more preview of the new issue: New York City-based model Ibrahim Baaith in a luxe editorial for the iconic haute couture designer Valentino.

The actual star of the five-page editorial is actress Anita Brem, seen in The Tudors as Jane Seymour. It's a stunning layout, juxtaposing bright colors against an pitch-black background.

Fashion photographer and Flaunt veteran Nicolas Wagner lenses the editorial. Wagner also captured Shemar Moore, Nick Cannon and that fierce editorial with January Jones flanked by "it boys" Zack Clark and Manuel Ramos. Long Nguyen who styled the Jenry Bejarano, Haaz Sleiman and the go-go god editorials, is the writer and returns as style director.

Ibrahim Baaith is represented by RedNYC. The model was recently seen in Paper in the Barack Obama-inspired fashion editorial and in Sean John's historic all-black fashion show that ended Fashion Week. More photos on the newsstand.

Thanks to Flaunt's NYC office.

Photographer: Nicolas Wagner.
Style Director: Long Nguyen.

This layout is beautiful. Valentino is such an icon, he was THE designer back in the 60s and 70s.

And Ibrahim! Such a beautiful, clean cut young man. Love him, love him!

Ibrahim is gorgeous. I have been following him INTENTLY ever since you began featuring him. That boy is fabulous, I wish him all the luck.

Oh, and Flaunt is the HOTTEST magazine. They always feature the hottest black models.

love this, rod!

I was wondering when you'd post about Ibrahim...very flawless, no?

And, you have to give FLAUNT serious respect for consistently profiling male models of color every month...arguably, its the only fashion/editorial mag that does so...and is quite unabashed about it...

The closest you'd get to any other magazine doing this are the small scale fashion bibles in London, Paris, Germany, etc.

and yes, that editorial they did with January Jones (VERY underrated actress, imho) and the "twins" was fierce, no?

I need to start buying FLAUNT, cause that's where the real fashion and edge is these days...

Thanks for the previews. Unmfortunately, I almost can never find Flaunrt, occasionally it is my local Borders. Guess that means it is subscription time.

These Flaunt Boys are wonderful. Their photographers are sharp, it's just gorgeous.

Ryan, you read my mind. I have to get a subscription because Flaunt is very difficult to find, occasionally my local Borders has a few copies. Occassionally.

The models are FIERCE. It's amazing that every month they have outstanding black and Latino models. More so than Details, Nylon, etc. The fashion editorials are far more creative than OUT and very comparable to teh Euyropean fashion magazines. But the hottest thing about teh magzine is the interactive format, CDs, DVDs., posters, scratch offs ... its very fun.

Thanks for keeping us styling and informed!
