Shot by Craig McDean in London in October, the campaign sees Elgort Prada-clad alongside campaign fellows Ethan Hawke, Jack O’Connell and none other than Miles Teller – another meteoric talent who to have graced HERO’s pages, in Issue 9. It continues an alright strain: this time last year we witnessed Issue 10 cover star Dane DeHaan hit with the Prada spotlight as the face of the house’s SS14 campaign.
In our interview with Elgort, the American actor reflected on what has been a whirlwind 12 months, his appearance in box office firestorm Divergent setting the stage for the bright lights ahead.
Backed up with his second major role (and lauded performance) in The Fault In Our Stars, another of 2014’s biggest grossing films, Elgort cemented himself as one of the most-watched young actors of now.

If you’re not up to date on Elgort’s filmic roll call as yet, make it happen. And what better introduction than his Prada gig first up – if there was ever a man to wear these threads with the vigour they deserve, he’s it.
Orange, anyone?
