I know Elvis was quite the panty-creamer in his day, but model Claude Simonon doesn't need blue suede shoes to make me swoon! Styled by Emmanuelle Alt Simonon appears as Elvis for Vogue Hommes International.
The spread, which was photographed by David Sims who takes a break from his usual Vogue girls-jumping-in-studio shoots, appears in the magazine's latest issue. The styling, of course, is spot on and Simonon succeeds in capturing a little of the King's mystery and allure.
