If you were just thinking it was about time you met some fresh new male faces, then boy, is it your lucky day. We had the honour of hanging with Maui, Aidan, Michael, Eddie and Keenan in Sydney recently, and now you get the pleasure of getting to know them better, too. What a great day for humankind!
Things got pretty fleeky pretty fast on the day. Gucci, Prada, Bally, Zegna and Dior Men all got a look in, alongside local brands Wynn Hamlyn and Bassike. In between capturing the magic of cool boys dressed in cute threads, we asked them some very high brow questions, like what their Google search history looks like and what ice-cream flavour they deem to be the best in the world.
Take it away, boys!
