Models We Love: Julien Sabaud

Out's fashion department is hard at work at New York Fashion Week -- nice work if you can get it, right? -- scoping out all the hottest emerging trends and styles for next season. (Watch our Twitter account for backstage sightings, overheard bon mots and party gossip.)

In honor of the boys strutting their stuff to present the clothes for our consideration, we asked Out staffers to each talk a little about their favorite male model of the moment.

To start with, here's the pick of our new fashion director, Grant Woolhead:

The model who I like at the moment is Julien Sabaud. I don't like him just because of his recent Miu Miu or Calvin Klein Jeans ads. I like him because he is French, which is always quite sexy to me. And also I was casting a show the other day and we could not get him because he was confirmed for Fashion Rocks. To me the biggest turn-on is wanting something you can't have.
