While fashion still has a long way to go with diversity on the runways and in campaigns, the recent men's shows in Europe presented a refreshing array of diverse faces and offered us some hope that things are changing. Meet seven break-outs and keep an eye out for them this week during NYFW: Men's.

Piero Mendez (@piero_mendez)
A Spanish-Croatian living on the Canary Islands, Piero Mendez closed for Valentino in Paris. The multi-national was a fitting choice because when asked about his collection, Valentino designer Maria Grazia Chiuri told Style.com, "Cultures become one culture -- that's what we find exciting... At the end there is no real reference. We love to go around with our mind and our inspiration to create."

Jackson Hale (@jacksonghale)
A combination of Indian-Trinidadian-English descent, Jackson Hale was the exclusive for Burberry Prorsum this season at LCM. Not only was Burberry Creative Director Christopher Bailey'schoice of casting Hale an appropriate nod to Burberry's global male customers, but his garments echoed this emphasis on a more adventurous consumer, too, with highlights like formal lace intertwined with casual sweatpants.

Who better to open this show's message than the striking show season star Sol Goss?
