The Elias Petrakis Esquire Turkey editorial is featured in the publication's February 2012 issue. The bold editorial showcases the model's masculine persona and rich Autumn wardrobe.
Captured by the lens of photographer Ersoy Alap, Elias Petrakis poses in an abandoned house, resting on isolated staircases and grand window-filled spaces. Stylist Duygu Altiparmak outfits the model in a neutral palate of durable seasonal selects that include impeccably layered knits, sleek shirting, suited separates and structured silhouetted jackets.
Rocking everything from sharp suiting to comfortable outerwear, Elias emulates a modern-day macho man, sporting an abundance of plaids, browns and grays paired with leather cloves, hats and combat boots as burly accessories. This manly look is perfectly complemented with his naturally groomed hair and full, thick beard.
