BIO
Baptiste Giabiconi was working in an assembly plant for an areospace industry company in Marseille. He was scouted by a woman when he was working out in gym. The lady advise him to try modeling and the French photograph Laurent Piombo from Marseille, made Baptiste’s first shooting.
He moves to Paris and was recruted by the Agency MGM, and he is still under contract with them. But the real start of his career was when in 2008, Karl Lagarfeld find that the young man has a great potential. For Karl, Baptiste looks like a Greek God, and is the new model of renewed manhood, far from the androgin models employed by the Fashion industry lately.
The young model has quickly reached the top and will appear in the major fashion magazines: Numéro, V Magazine, Wallpaper, V Man, Vogue, and in add campaigns for Chanel, Fendi, Giorgio Armani.
Karl Lagerfeld saw him as the ideal Ken for the 50th annivversary of the Barbie Dolls. Since then his career is more or less manage by Karl.
Is Baptiste Giabiconi gay ?
As I mentioned for Sean O’Pry this is the kind of question which is raised regularly, specialy by web surfers who have this sexual preference. As this blog is gay oriented let’s try to give you some clue. The following article is a translation of a post by Coco published on the French blog ‘Tendances de modes’ :
Between the worker with an handsome face (Baptiste Giabiconi) and the man with a catogan (Karl Lagardfeld) grows a friendship, based on mutual fascination. One being subjugated by a new world which becomes reachable, the other one being mesmerized by the youthfulness concept. Since then, the two men are always seen together: Baptiste appears by the side of Karl, whatever the place on earth Karl is going to.
Sometime they are in Venice to work, and most on the time in Paris where the Artistic Director of Chanel ask regularly the presence of Baptiste. According to him, athe daily planning is as follows: they meet together at 15h00 to have a lunch, then they go to Chanel, each of them having ahis own agenda to follow,. They have a diner at 21h00, then go out down town to have a drink or watch a movie to a theater…
Usually with people who are his favorites, Karl is extremely generous and give without counting the cost. He creates strong links and addiction from these people.
