Aubrey O’Mahony Takes Banana Republic’s “Summer, Forever” to Japan’s Chiba Coast

Banana Republic’s “Summer, Forever” Lands on Japan’s Chiba Coast

Handsome model Aubrey O’Mahony trades the usual studio setup for the streets, rocks and open coastline of Japan’s Chiba prefecture in Banana Republic’s “Summer, Forever” August 2026 edit.

The outing taps directly into Banana Republic’s travel-minded roots, mixing archive-inspired pieces with the kind of airy late-summer layers that look even better once they have been lived in a little. Linen shirts hang open, sleeves get rolled, chinos loosen up and the palette stays grounded in indigo, khaki, olive and sun-faded neutrals.

There is a little bit of old-school Banana Republic wanderlust running through the whole story. A vintage Honda motorcycle enters the mix, archive reissues sit beside relaxed chinos and linen, and O’Mahony moves through the coastal setting like summer has no intention of checking the calendar.

That is really the hook here. Instead of treating August as the beginning of the end, “Summer, Forever” stretches the season out through clothes built to be layered, unbuttoned, rolled up and taken somewhere. Chiba gives the familiar American sportswear a completely different backdrop without making the styling feel overworked.
