The Stiff Upper Lip ADON Magazine editorial is both [cheeky and playful](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-club-campaign). The photoshoot features Brian Shimansky, Travis Hanson and Daniel Garofali who are seen in designer Matistache's [faux facial hair accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-grooming-brand).

The trio of models don't take themselves too seriously and have a wild time showing off their buff physiques as they pose shirtless or in barely there boxer short garments.

Featured in the publication's #1 issue, the Stiff Upper Lip ADON Magazine fashion story doesn't show a lot of style selects but instead opts for a more suggestive visual concept that displays plenty of skin.

Models Brian, Travis and Daniel sport Matistache's [playful moustache accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/call-of-the-mustaches) and have fun playing the role of tough and rugged manly men who never lose their sense of humor.
