JOSH HEUSTON seems to be everywhere. But right now, the Off-Campus actor is in Paris, braving the heat to attend Pharrell Williams’ new Spring Summer 2027 collection. Ahead of the show, we went behind the scenes with Heuston in his hotel room as he prepared for the main event.

Check out the interview and shoot below.

Tell us about the choice of outfit you’ve made for today

I went through the racks and love the jacketing in this year’s show. This one was my favourite from the collection so worked the rest of the fit around it. It’s super hot in Paris at the moment so a singlet seemed like the best idea!

What small rituals do you have to get ready and get in the mood for an event?

I always like to set the mood with music in my room. It’s the first thing I do when I check into a hotel room and use the music to vary the vibe and energy I need to carry to an event.

Favourite drink to have in that waiting time beforehand?

Depending on the time of day. Iced Americano is my go to in the day, and then a negroni in the evening.

Favourite Louis Vuitton piece?

I love the Speedy P9 bag range.

What are you most excited about seeing from the SS27 collection?

The bag range and because the show is ocean inspired the surfboards.

Last thing you check before leaving the hotel room?

For the boogey monster under the bed.
