HOT: Zack Clark for "Têtu"

Major Model of the moment and major "it boy" Zack Clark is featured in the June 2010 French homostyle glossy Têtu. Zack demonstrates an impressive set of abs and pecs are the best accessories for this season's Gaultier, Dior Homme and Diesel.

Zack was last seen showing off for Cliff Watts and strutting his stuff with fellow hotness Manuel Ramos ... this time with clothes on. The Têtu editorial was lensed by the fabulous Nicolas Wagner, who captured Clark and Ramos for Flaunt, as well as Shemar Moore and Nick Cannon's homoerotic editorials for the same magazine. More on THE FLIP SIDE ...

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.

HOT: Manuel Ramos and Zack Clark Flaunt It

Let's lighten up the mood around here with our regular (virtual) tour of Flaunt, a magazine which many agree has the "hottest art direction" in the industry. So much to choose from in issue #79 ... Ashley Judd or Chingy? Here's a better idea: Actress January Jones flanked by current "it boy" models Zack Clark and Manuel Ramos.

The 12-page editorial is lensed by photographer Nicolas Wagner—who captured Shemar Moore and Nick Cannon for the same magazine recently—who uses familiarly brilliant black and white technique. Works well here, especially when capturing darker skin colors.

A few more abtastic twin fantasies after the flip.

Nick Cannon Flaunts It

Nick Cannon becomes the latest "it boy" to flaunt his stuff in the latest issue of Flaunt, the edgy Los Angeles-based fashion and industry bible. The 13-page editorial is entitled "Off the Hook", and, it truly is on many levels. As always, Nick is looking like a million dollars, And once again, photographer Nicolas Wagner—who captured Shemar Moore for the same magazine last spring—uses a brilliant black and white technique. Finally, Nick mentions his recent work in HIV/AIDS education. Apparently, some of the accessories (read: diamond watch) photographed will be sold/auctioned and the proceeds will go to the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

Above, Nick is tres magnifique in Versace sweater and pant. In the obligatory shirtless Nick Cannon shot, the actor models leather jacket and wool pant by Dries Van Noten.

Shemar Moore Flaunts It

Earlier this week, we saw Jensen Atwood's layout for Flaunt. Shemar Moore is featured in the same issue so let's give equal time to his hotness.

Here's a confession: We've never been huge Shemar Moore fans. He's always been a little too ... pretty. But the ten-page editorial in the Flaunt makes us reconsider those notions. "NY By Nite" was lensed by Nicolas Wagner at the Dream Hotel and showcases a sexy, cool and detached actor/model.

About half of the images are B&W, the others in color. There's a gritty, film noir edge to the black and white photos, especially with the Times Square background.

The lighting is superb. One of our favorites is a heavily-shadowed photo of Shemar gazing into the mirror. "Damn! I'm hot! I'd give me some!"

From the color stock, one of the hotter flicks is this red wash where Shemar is featured in a rayon, V-neck Versace sweater. Just the hint of skin and that hot-ta-def physique.

So yea, Shemar Moore is doing the damn thing. He flaunts it well.
