new hair... its.. ALIVE!!
Baptiste is W Magazine's Model of the Week.
Three years ago, when Baptiste Giabiconi was working at a helicopter plant in southern France, his big dream was to save enough money to buy his own pizza truck. The son of a Corsican mechanic, Giabiconi (seen here in a portrait shot by Ola Rindal) had never been to Paris and had certainly never considered a career in modeling. But then someone noticed him at his local gym and referred him to a photographer, who introduced him to a Paris agent, who got him booked on a couple of small magazine jobs. Then someone else noticed him in one of those magazines and called him in for a test shoot.
That last someone happened to be Karl Lagerfeld, which goes a long way toward explaining why Giabiconi, 20, is arguably the world's No. 1 male model, and why the former metalworker shows up for an interview in Paris wearing Dior jeans, a Comme des Garçons shirt, a Tom Ford shearling coat and a Chanel scarf. In the year and a half since his first shoot with Lagerfeld, the two have worked on dozens of projects together, from short films for Chanel runway shows to a nude cover of Wallpaper. Editorials and campaigns shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott and other top photographers have further crammed Giabiconi's schedule.
"There is no other model in the business like him," says Lagerfeld, who calls Giabiconi an "inspiring" collaborator due to a rare ability to "act and transform himself." Physically speaking, Lagerfeld adds, he's a male version of Gisele Bündchen: "Perfect when dressed and stunning undressed."
Giabiconi says his new life feels like a waking dream. He now lives near Lagerfeld in Paris and is the most visible member of the designer's entourage, though he retains his twangy Marseille accent and insists he's not much for parties, preferring to stay home and watch Alain Delon films. Still, Giabiconi, who clearly loves performing, doesn't hide his ambitions for a big career beyond modeling. He has thrown himself into acting and singing lessons, and he talks of "conquering Hollywood" someday: "I have a lot of plans. I know what I want in life, and I go for it." And what about that pizza truck? "I still like that idea," he says. "But now, why not have a whole chain of them?" - from W Magazine

He should shave his armpits.
He should shave his armpits.
No need for that 
He looks just fine the way he is
The unshaved armpits highlight the gender bending images that Karl Lagerfeld often promotes by dressing Baptiste in women's clothing and accessories. So, I don't believe he will shave his armpits anytime soon. 
Either way, Baptiste is HOT!
