Rag Report: Let’s hear it for the Boy!

Rag Report dives under the covers of fashion publications to rant or rave about all the glossy goodness.

In this month’s GQ, model Jon Kortajarena heats up in this four-page spread that has him standing out in the sultry streets of Madrid. Photographer Nathaniel Goldberg captures the Spanish model in effortless sophistication and class that have women swooning.

In the first image, Kortajarena is the epitome of a bad boy. He focuses all his attention on his companion. The angles shot of his face makes Kortajarena look sexy and dangerous. Even though he is facing away from the camera, his body posture shows of the clothing perfectly. His Simon Spurr suit with a J.Crew shirt and Louis Vuitton loafers has Kortajarena dripping in style.

Kortajarena really shines in his navy blue Burberry London corduroy suit. Although the background is busy, our eyes go directly to Kortajarena. He is cool, calm and collected in this image. Goldberg manages to capture Kortajarena’s intensity even though he is wearing Randolph Engineering sunglasses.

The last images make me want to take the first red eye to Spain! Kortajarena and his beautiful companion are laid back enjoying a brunch. Even though the image is black and white, the viewer is immediately drawn to Kortajarena and his smile. He confidently dons Ralph Lauren suit and shirt with Tom Ford glasses.


Goldberg captures Kortajarena’s masculinity with an ease that has us eagerly flipping through this spread.
