Lensed by Nicolas Valois, the ‘Traveller Chic’ Elle France editorial is a luxe take on bohemian garments. This dapper menswear shoot is both rugged and distinguished.

With a wild mane and masculine beard, red-headed model Johnny Harrington is impeccably dressed despite looking rough around the edges. From eclectic props and accessories to luxury luggage sets, this editorial explores a variety of travel-worthy menswear looks.

Whether he is playing the role of carefree surfer or distinguished gent, Johnny is a vision in rich textured styles, vivid patterns and tailored silhouettes styled by Anne-Marie Brouillet. Showcasing pieces from [Comme des Garcons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cdg-postman-bag), Burberry, D&G, [Louis Vuitton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-menswear-campaign) and [Yves Saint Laurent](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/libre-berry-crush) among others, the ‘Traveller Chic’ Elle France editorial is a high fashion interpretation of nomadic elegance.
