(Boulder, CO) Feb 11, 2011 – /baskit/, a premium player in the men’s underwear and swimwear market, showcases its international brand power with the launch of their 2011 image campaign featuring international rugby player and sex symbol Nick Youngquest. Titled “It’s All About the Details”, the brand’s slogan for the season, Youngquest can be seen sporting the brand’s high quality and fashionable bestselling styles throughout the powerful, yet approachable imagery.

Images from the campaign show a glimpse of everyday life for the international rugby player and model. It captures Nick Youngquest in a luxurious Los Angeles hotel room as he prepares for his day. A consummate athlete, Youngquest can be seen in his morning workout, taking a shower after a swim, lounging on his bed with the morning paper, checking his business emails on his iPad, and dressing for his day of meetings in a sleek suit. Youngquest’s impressive physique is only matched by his sharp style and showcases the athlete in his most masculine shoot to date.
