Okay, here is a blog post about my experience with recreating Jacob Elordi’s Calvin Klein look, written in the style and tone requested:
So, I saw these pictures of Jacob Elordi in that Calvin Klein campaign, and I was like, “Damn, he looks good.” And for a minute, I thought, “Could I pull that off?” I mean, I’m no model, but I thought it’d be a fun little project to try and recreate the look. And honestly, the boy is pretty attractive, it would be a challenge, but I’m willing to do this.
First thing’s first, I gotta get the clothes. Obviously, I headed straight to the store to look for some white Calvin Klein underwear. It’s pretty easy to find. I picked up a pair, and I also grabbed a simple white tank top. I also found a nice pair of white socks in my drawer. It’s not exactly the same, but it looks simple and clean, it’ll do the trick.
Next, I needed to figure out the hair. Jacob’s got that messy, kind of tousled look going on. I washed my hair, and then I used some texturizing spray to give it some volume and that “I just woke up like this” vibe. I ran my fingers through it a few times, messed it up a bit, and I think I nailed it, more or less.
The Photoshoot
Now for the fun part: the photoshoot. I don’t have a fancy studio or anything, so I just cleared out a space in my living room. I set up a white sheet as a backdrop, and I used my phone and a tripod to take the pictures. For sure it’s not that easy to do it myself. I tried a few different poses, mimicking Jacob’s from the campaign. It’s harder than it looks, let me tell you.
I also tried to copy his facial expression, that whole brooding, intense thing he’s got going on. I’m not sure if I pulled it off, but I definitely gave it my best shot. It’s so funny that I burst into laugh after several serious attempts. I just can’t be serious for a long time. After about a hundred shots, I picked out a few that I thought looked decent.
To be honest, the whole thing was way more fun than I expected. Did I look exactly like Jacob Elordi? Definitely not. But I think I captured the essence of the look, and I had a blast doing it. And hey, maybe I’ll try to recreate another one of his looks in the future, or even try a different celebrity. Who knows?
