Thanks for bringing light to this guy. I was a teen when those D&G ads with Linda Evangelista came out. They were hot, so sexy!
You're welcome Anita, many of these guys were really famous back at that time but now hardly you can find a picture or their names online.
and I was also a teen those days, now I'm 32 =p
