Demantist Claire, the Atlanta modeling agency that signed him, is about to make a ton of money off this guy! His eyes are so captivating and his skin is dark and flawless like butter. If he plays his card right he very soon will be Celebrity Crush worthy. What do you guys think of the new Prison Bae? Hot or not? Hotter than Jeremy Meeks?

#FashionCrush- Luka Sabbat (@whoisluka)

the ascent of luka sabbat as one of the most fashionable teens on the internet can only be described as supersonic.

A spirited New Yorker, Luka Sabbat was discovered in SoHo while in route to buy a new video game.  From there the 18 year old has been seen in many different fashion campaigns from Tommy Hilfiger to, most recently, Dolce & Gabbana.  The latter of which he has been a steady presence on their men’s and women’s runway collection. You could say that fashion is in his blood, having been raised by a mother, who formerly worked as a booker for models and a father who designs a womenswear line.  His start came soon after he was signed to ReQuest Model Management, when fashion genius himself, Kanye West picked Luka as one of the models for his Yeezy collection.

A Must Read! Check Out Kontrol Magazine’s (@kontrolmag) Exclusive Interview w/ Benjamin Patterson (@Benjustcreates) as He Discusses OWN’s “Greenleaf,” Working w/ Oprah (@oprah), & Fatherhood!

Actor, Benjamin Patterson, is a rising star with a plethora of talents under his belt. From acting, being a DJ, modeling, and even photography, Patterson commits to excelling in every aspect of his life and is dedicated to honing each one of his crafts. Born and raised in Oakland, California, Patterson grew up in a diverse neighborhood, becoming a DJ, playing the drums and swimming competitively through high school with television stars Lance Gross and Russell Hornsby.

“Russell and I went to rival high schools but we were friends and our parents knew each other,” said Patterson. “Lance went to the same high school as I did but graduated later than I did.”

As a little kid, Patterson just wanted to be involved in everything so he participated in school plays, his school’s choir, and learned how to be a disc jockey by the seventh grade. Though he considered himself a goofy kid who was always performing one way or another, acting never really crossed his mind. His main focus was sports and music and once in high school he developed a love for percussion. 

“I made it my mission to play the drums,” said Patterson. “I was a huge Prince fan, still am, so I made it a point to take band every year.”

Shortly after high school, Patterson began working at Guitar Center for over a year and a half. While working there he became immersed in music. He was able to meet and interact with all different types of musicians and producers, which influenced him that he could play more than one instrument. Before the end of his season as an employee, he went from playing one instrument to playing four. As an aspiring musician he picked up the guitar and piano, while booking DJ gigs at house parties and local nightclubs. He continued his musical endeavors while attending San Diego State University where he was obtaining a degree in psychology. In the midst of getting his degree, he was discovered by a scout for a local modeling competition. With no intentions of actually winning, Patterson won the competition and was named International Model of the Year.

“It’s the cliché story. I was doing something that had nothing to do with modeling and I was “discovered,” Patterson said. “I was really excited. The most ironic part about it is that I didn’t enter with any expectations to win anything let alone place. I was just along for the ride.

He’s Absolutely Heavenly & Hollywood’s Newest Leading Man! Get Your “Handsome Fix” with Cleo Anthony!

“A dream is a wish your heart makes…” Disney Princesses know this statement well. The wisest people seem to know it too. Whatever you want out of life seldom happens without a bit of a struggle. It is almost like some divine force pushes the notion that “no good deed goes unpunished!” Still, believing in yourself and staying the course no matter what the road ahead may throw at you; is the true route to success and happiness. Few people know this better than Hollywood’s newest leading man, Cleo Anthony!

When it comes to heart throbs you might be over them. If you have seen one virtually perfect guy, then you feel as though you have seen them all, right? Wrong! Cleo is not your average “Beautiful Beau;” in fact, his rise to fame began as anything but glamorous. Cleo, named after his maternal grandfather, has always been a man of humility, with big dreams and an even bigger heart. “My grandfather was a wise and respected man…a pillar of his community…my mom wanted me to be just like him…so you know I have a lot of good in me…” Most children go through a series of “future occupation decisions” in their youth. Cleo, however, always knew his place was in front of the camera. Like a moth to a flame, the illustrious flicker of Hollywood drew him in after watching Bad Boys (1995). “I saw that movie and said to myself I am going to be in the sequel…I had no idea how, or even if they were making a sequel but I just put that out there in the universe…”

“The New Denzel!” Denzel Wells, A Man in “Kontrol” of His Destiny!

People often say the best way to make God laugh is to tell Him all your plans. They would be somewhat right if they looked at the life of Denzel Wells! Hailing from Houston, Texas; this model and actor had plans to own and run his own real estate company following college. Interestingly, destiny had other plans, placing him on a far more intriguing path. Still this rising star keeps it one hundred percent real as he dishes on life, love, success, and his promising future in the entertainment industry.

Denzel seemed to be struck with greatness from birth, as his father named him after the famous actor, Denzel Washington. “…People are always like ‘we know who your mother liked’ until they find out my father named me…Denzel Washington was his favorite actor and he wanted me to be successful like him…I’m sure he never imagined how all this would turn out…” Indeed, Denzel has been blessed with success, and unlike most, it came relatively easy to him. Most people do not know that just two years ago he was relatively unknown, but still successful in his own right. At twenty, he had already become a real estate mogul and the CEO of his own company. He began modeling after a photographer liked his look, landing him in the pages of Essence Magazine. From there, and at the behest of others, he was prompted to try out for a spot on the twenty-first cycle of Tyra Banks’ hit show, “America’s Next Top Model!” (ANTM) As you know Denzel was cast onto the show, arguably becoming the season’s most popular male contestant. “I was so honored they picked me out of the millions of submissions they received…I believe my personality gave me the edge over the other submitters…I mean it had to be, there were a lot of good looking people who tried out, selling your personality is what’s going to put you over the top…”
