If Jesus were a biker, he’d look like Patrick Petitjean in the recent Vogue Homme International. The editorial ‘On the Road’ places supermodel Patrick Petitjean with the lovely Eniko Mihalik on a dusty motorcycle journey.
Photographed by Mario Sorrenti and styled by Vogue Paris Fashion Director Emmanuelle Alt, the always-original male model graces the biker-themed denim editorial with his usual intense grace. Petitjean and Mihalik cruise down dirt roads, lounge in the grass and take the requisite cigarette break. With his trademark beard and unkempt appearance, Patrick Petitjean maintains his image as the consummate modern rebel.
