This collection of Orlebar Brown's [designer swim trunks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dandy-del-mar) collaborates with a renowned photographer named Gray Malin. The Gray Malin edition of men's swim shorts display crisp-quality aerial photography. Fittingly, the photos are of beaches and resorts from a bird's eye view.

Orlebar Brown has been designing scenic shorts for a while, but these ones featuring aerial photography are evermore intriguing. Because the photographs are taken from a far-away perspective, the people in the photo look like tiny characters from a scene of Where's Waldo. To wear this people-speckled piece is not completely common.

The designs of this collection are a playful approach to [men's swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangls-mirage-drop). It carries out a new and neat concept while giving credit to aerial photography.
