We often wrestle with the question of underage babes in fashion, but usually, the models in question are girls like Chanel Iman, 17, Karlie Kloss, 16, and Ali Stephens, 16.

Now we’re fixated on a new rising model, but the difference is, he’s a boy.

The cutie in question is Hayes Peebles, a 16-year-old singer / songwriter from upstate New York who’s already been photographed by David Bailey for Teen Vogue.

Peebles was recently shot by Hedi Slimane, with photos of his muscular bare back - and his plastic Star Wars and Batman toys - posted on Hedi’s website.

We suspect they’re part of a bigger series for V Man magazine, but that’s just a well-placed hunch based on where we got the tipoff about the pictures.

Obviously, the bigger discussion about this is - well, should there be a bigger discussion?
