The Carbon Copy Issue 11 is giving you a healthy dose of European menswear, as captured by the photographer Shamila and styled by Pedro Dias. Appropriately titled 'EU Boys,' the spread features male models 'Ducco' and 'Pim,' who pose in pieces from [Burberry Prorsum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/london-commute), Emporio Armani, [Gucci](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-men), Dior Homme, [Louis Vuitton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fall-2026) and more.

One of the key pieces in the this shoot for Carbon Copy Issue 11 is the kilt, which, as of late, has undergone many different interpretations and variations on menswear runways the world over. This editorial features a haute black one with a belt and a more traditional one, both by Kenzo. Other notable styles include a vibrant red wool coat by Burberry Prorsum and a faux leather jacket by Louis Vuitton.
