Pietro Boselli Gets Wet — And Philosophical — in His Steamiest Shoot Yet

Pietro Boselli is no stranger to thirst traps — but his latest series dives deeper. Shot against the sun-drenched backdrop of Piana degli Ulivi di Ostuni, Aliquid Aqua Inest (Latin for “there is something in the water”) sees the sculpted polymath turning a simple outdoor shower into a moment of sensual meditation.

Yes, the water clings. Yes, the light hits just right. But beneath the heat and skin, there’s something more: a quiet invitation to rethink what pleasure, wellness, and modern masculinity really look like.

With 3.4 million Instagram followers and counting, Pietro isn’t just serving body — he’s curating a lifestyle. Call it la dolce vita 2.0: equal parts philosopher and fantasy, sweat and soul.

These aren’t just hot pics — they’re a vibe, a vision, a challenge to live (and look) beautifully.

The 10 sexiest male models of the decade

2020 is coming very soon and we have to admit that the past decade was ‘huge’ in fashion. We have experienced many differences and we have met a lot of new promising models, designers and more.

Nevertheless we have put down a model list with some of the sexiest guys of the decade, both on the catwalks and in the headlines.

Jon Kortajarena

From Just Cavali, Valentino , Giorgio Armani , Chanel… to TOM FORD campaigns. The Spanish model is definetely one of our favourites. We also loved his cinema effort on one remarkable appearance in the hit film A Single Man by Tom Ford.

Pietro Boselli

A former math teacher and model, Pietro Boselli made to the fashion industry beacuse of… his hot instagram posts. His top performance on the social media platforms put him in campaigns for Armani and Moschino.

Francisco Lachowski

Francisco Lachowski made his first fashion steps in 2009 by winning a competition which enabled him to sign with Ford Model Management. After that Dior Homme, Gucci and Versace were only some of the big fashion brands he worked for on the runway and campaigns.

Jeremy Meeks

Delinquency, armed robberies and acts of violence punctuate the daily life of this young father. On June 18, 2014, the San Francisco police published the "mugshot" of Jeremy Meeks - the portrait made according to judicial standards - on social networks, which led to an unexpected media tidal wave. Still in prison, Jeremy Meeks signs a contract with the White Cross Management agency in Los Angeles and marches for the first time during the Philipp Plein fall-winter 2017-2018 show in New York.

Jarrod Scott

We first met him in the pages of Vogue Hommes back in the 2013. After that his campaign went very international we would say, as he has appeared in several campaigns and fashion shows over the years including Boss , Givenchy and Jean Paul Gaultier .

Alessio Pozzi

Italian God Alessio Pozzi has nominated twice, in 2015 and 2017, in the Model of the Year category of the Models.com ranking alongside Lucky Blue Smith , Cameron Dallas or Paul Hameline . That was enought to put him on the first row for campaigns and shows for Giorgio Armani , Moschino , Givenchy , Versace , Calvin Klein and more.

Cameron Dallas

With his Instagram inflated to 21.3 million fans, Cameron Dallas tops the most followed male models. After his debut in 2016 he has been the face of Calvin Klein for many campaigns and lately he has been in numerous editorials around the world.

Terence Telle

Terence has been in the industry since the 2012. We have seen him on the runway for many shows in Milan including ETRO, Armani and Versace, in Paris for Issey Miyake and more. Calvin Klein , H&M ,Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren are just a few of the brands that Terence starred in their campaigns. He currently lives and works in Paris and he participates at the french version of ‘Dancing with the stars’.

Clément Chabernaud

Our French model crush. Clément Chabernaud has done his big entry in the industry during 2015 after his cover on another one Vogue Hommes. Since then we have seen him on shows and campaigns - from Berluti to Dunhill and Isabel Marant.

Raf Miller

Fitness model Raf Miller uses Instagram as a playground to display his sculpted athletic body with intense sports routines. On the fashion side, it is at the Calvin Klein Spring / Summer 2016 show that the model walks his very first podium.
