As a model you are meant to be versatile, able to adapt to any look like a chameleon. But some models are lucky and find a look or style that sets them apart and gives them the opportunity to carve out a career for themselves in a niche field. Take Oliver Cheshire, after being scouted at 15, he soon became an overnight success as the new face for Calvin Klein and followed this with work from GQ, Missioni, and Paul Smith. But it’s his swimwear campaigns from countless brands like Orlebar Brown, Mark & Spencer, Dolce & Gabbana that have really helped him establish a ‘look’ and a fan base.
So it seems foolish not to entice this fan base when using Oliver Cheshire in a tailoring editorial. But Men’s Folio Indonesia found a solution to this by bringing the tailoring to the beach to achieve that half naked shot of the model that everyone just loves. And while it isn’t as sensual as his 2013 work for Dolce & Gabbana’s Uomini Exhibition (last image), it still shows off his flawless physique. I guess his only flaw is that he is dating Pixie Lott…
