The Jan Aeberhard Nordic Man Magazine editorial features a visually intriguing concept. The stunning shoot follows the theme of narcissism, showcasing mirror images of model Jan.

Captured by the lens of photographic duo Herring & Herring, Jan takes to the spotlight, sporting a number of structured silhouettes that include sleek shirting, undergarments and suited separates.

Outfitted by wardrobe stylist Katie Burnett, Jan is sharply suited, posing amongst a multitude of chic clones. The conceptual Jan Aeberhard Nordic Man Magazine editorial is dream-like and [avant-garde in its imaginative theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens).
