LONDON, April 10 — Despite receiving a little less media coverage than their female counterparts, male models are still in great demand by designers, big brands and the public, as shown by their social media accounts, sometimes with several tens of millions of followers.

Cameron Dallas is a prime example, sitting at the top — by miles — of the most popular male models on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, according to data published by Models.com.

Over 41 million followers.

Beginning as an online video maker, Cameron Dallas quickly made a name for himself in the fashion world, and started modelling for Calvin Klein in Spring 2016. Things moved very quickly after that.
