Need some summer beach inspiration? Designer Matthew Zink shares the latest campaign featuring the brand's very first "Charlie boy," model Alex Geerman.  

"Alex Geerman has always had such infectious positivity on set. Arriving on his longboard to the shoot with a huge smile, or doing flips and handstand walks, jumping onto platforms, he truly is like our own beautiful Tarzan right here in the city. I was always inspired to see his physicality, fearlessness, and confidence in his own skin."

Aruba, the former Dutch colony, is always a relaxing, sunny playground. Here, more recommendations on where to stay and play.
