Dom Sherwood’s summer essentials

Dom Sherwood is a 25 year old English actor, model, and musician. His first time in The Gentleman’s Journal was starring alongside five other young British actors for our Summer 2014 issue in ‘& That’s a Wrap’. If you’re wondering where you’ve seen those mesmerising odd-coloured eyes before, then you might just recognise him from his role as Christian Ozera in the film Vampire Academy, not to mention his recent role in Taylor Swift’s number 1 Style music video from her multi-platinum album 1989. Next up for this multi-talented Brit is his role as Jace Herondale in the upcoming ABC Family drama, Shadowhunters, an adaptation of Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments series. Heart-throb status aside, Dom Sherwood is one very stylish guy, so we turned to him to find out exactly what he would choose from The Gentleman’s Journal shop…
