I didn't need to watch 'Toy Story 3' to know that Barbie was one lucky lady, but Esquire UK's 'Ken: Fashion Icon' feature solidifies this fact. Bringing his A game to the set, Ken dons the latest in fall fashion to inspire men around the world.
Modeling luxury labels from Burberry to Gucci, Ken is certainly making a name for himself outside of the Barbie franchise. The 'Ken: Fashion Icon' editorial shows an exciting new side that will most likely gain him even more gigs. From famous boyfriend to movie star and fashion model, what could possibly be next?
