Seriously, stylishly handsome Alex Szablewski was discovered 12 months ago when he attended an open call at Boss Models NY, and this boy has been working part-time since. A student at Rutgers University, and an elite level volleyball player, Alex has a lean, sophisticated, sensitive beauty not unlike actor Adrien Brody. With an editorial for Arena Homme+ with Robbie Fimmano recently shot, Alex now has his sights set on the upcoming show season. Forget guidos and blue collar rock, this Piscataway boy is out to put a high class spin on New Jersey.
