Sporting sophisticated reworkings of the label&rsquo;s most iconic silhouettes, the actor takes the spotlight in Banana Republic&rsquo;s newest campaign.

For Joshua Jackson, dressing up every day isn&rsquo;t a bother, a headache, or an inconvenience&mdash;it&rsquo;s an exercise in exploration. As an actor, he's no stranger to getting into hair and makeup or donning a costume, so in his day-to-day life, embracing his own style is a refreshing change of pace.&nbsp;As Pacey Witter in Dawson's Creek, he dabbled in quintessential &lsquo;90s looks, while roles like Peter Bishop in&nbsp;Fringe saw him take on sci-fi-chic style.
Now, Jackson steps into his signature style in a whole new way. Most recently, he starred in Banana Republic's latest campaign for its brand new collection, launched in collaboration with The Explorers Club&mdash;an organization dedicated to advancing field research, scientific exploration, and conservation. In the collection, the label draws on some of its most iconic designs from the archive and reimagines them for the contemporary wearer. Rooted in the core values shared between the two organizations, the collection embraces sartorial curiousity and discovery with each and every look.&nbsp;
Ahead of the campaign launch, Jackson talked with L&rsquo;OFFICIEL, where he discussed his connection with environmentalism, his wardrobe go-to&rsquo;s this season, and his style evolution.

L&rsquo;OFFICIEL: How does your personal style fit into the world of Banana Republic&rsquo;s aesthetics and sartorial codes? 
JOSHUA JACKSON: Travel and adventure have always been a big part of my life, which comes with trying to balance looking good in clothes that are durable while still being stylish. And I&rsquo;ve always had a soft spot for that classic silhouette.
L&rsquo;O: This collection draws on archival, vintage styles. Is there a particular time period that aligns most with your personal style? 
JJ: I aspire to be one-tenth as stylish as the average steel worker in the 1950s.
L&rsquo;O: Do you have any favorite Banana Republic pieces that are on repeat in your wardrobe? 
JJ: There is <a href="https://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=8619330120002&amp;vid=1#pdp-page-content" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a linen jacket</a> that I am currently wearing into the ground. Absolute everyday wear.&nbsp;

L&rsquo;O: The capsule is all about embracing curiosity and discovery. Are there any aesthetics that you&rsquo;d like to experiment with in the future? 
JJ: I feel very comfortable with how I dress and present at this point, but I always love seeing or finding new subcultures or discovering how different styles or aesthetics get interpreted in different places around the world.
L&rsquo;O: Equally, the collection (and the philosophy behind it) is about exploration. When it comes to your career, are there any genres or types of characters you&rsquo;d like to try out next? 
JJ: The answer is yes&hellip;. To infinity. I think the single greatest joy of doing this wonderful crazy job is getting to be a little bit of everything.

L&rsquo;O: As someone with an avid, active interest in environmentalism, what does the collaboration with The Explorers Club mean to you? 
JJ: The first step to having the desire to protect something is to engage with it. Seeing those photos from Artemis recently.. I think we were all struck by the beauty of this tiny little dot in the sea of space that we call home. I think the more that we travel and push ourselves out of our comfort zone. The more we interact with our world with grace and humility, hopefully the more inclined we will be to try to live in better balance with the only planet we have.
L&rsquo;O: Out of all of the characters you&rsquo;ve played on screen, which one could you see dressed in pieces from the collection and why? 
JJ: I think Cole from The Affair would absolutely have a closet full of Banana Republic. Natural fibers that feel and look good without being too flashy&hellip; right up his alley.
