Top model Harry Goodwins channels an urban gentleman in 'The Drifter,' an editorial exclusive that is lensed for August Man Malaysia's latest issue. The shoot is lensed by photographer Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca and highlights [menswear staples that are traditionally elegant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fall-2026) in their overall aesthetic.

Model Harry Goodwins poses in [leather motorcycle jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/menswear-brand-kestin) while posing on a bike and pulls off more traditional tweeds while loitering on the street. Though dressed in a designer-enriched wardrobe by stylist Gregory Wein -- with pieces from Georg Jensen and Ralph Lauren -- the model also wears makeup that resembles dirt.

Creative direction for August Man Malaysia's 'The Drifter' story is courtesy of Melvin Chan who brings its urban gentleman vision to life.
