# In-Crowd Editorials Fashion's Most Wanted Male Models in VMan's Issue #15 By Katherinev123 | Published 2009-09-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vmans-issue-15 References: [designscene.net](http://www.designscene.net/2009/09/chad-pitman-for-vman-15.html) & [vman](http://vman.com) Fashion’s male model elites appear in Vman’s Issue #15. The issue houses three fashion spreads, snapped by photographer Chad Pitman, which feature some of the most-buzzed-about [male models of the fashion world](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign) such as Garett Neff. VMan’s Issue #15 also puts other drool-worthy models on display like Vladimir Ivanov, Gen Huismans, Will Defiel, Ryan Kennedy, Dennis Johnson and Reid Prebenda. Styled in everything from laid-back tees to [classy blazers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fall-2026), they pose in a series of clique-ish sets ranging from ‘Most Valuable Players’ to ‘The Contenders’. In one set from VMan’s Issue #15, titled the ‘The Hot Shots’, Huismans, Ivanov, and Defiel get to stand next to Giabiconi—who is, for once, shot by someone else other than Karl Lagerfeld.
