Modeling-agency titans Ford and Wilhelmina are battling over a male model.

Brazilian hunk Francisco Lachowski, 25, broke onto the runway in 2008 when he won Ford’s “Supermodel of the World” contest, landing a contract that led to work with Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, and DKNY.

The looker was “largely unknown before being discovered by Ford,” and was under contract with that agency until August, the company says in a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit.

But in November Wilhelmina posted Lachowski’s image on their Web site.

“Wilhelmina wrongfully induced Lachowski’s breach of the agreement,” Ford said.

Wilhelmina declined to comment.
