Contrary to the title of the fashion story ‘Shiny Happy People,’ the editorial shoot lensed by photographer Cecilie Harrie for the latest issue of And Men magazine depicts two male models, David Varcoe and Tim Hartfield, posing stoically rather than showing expressions that imply glee.

The [science fiction-inspired](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-and-mad-architects) Cecilie Harris shoot features the styling of Craig David Hills, whom put the model duo in ensembles of [shirts, sweaters and jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set), making Varcoe and Hartfield looking a lot like the characters from the film, Star Trek. Groomed by hairstylist Karin Kratzeisen, both the models sports neat hairdo.

According to BoysbyGirls, “Cecilie wanted to explore the idea that the boys were part of a breed of artificially created, [robot-like beings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/betterstudio).”
