The model is captured by photographer Baldovino Barani's lens while roaming the neon-lit streets of Beverly Hills. Channeling a boxing enthusiast who loves to party, Milan Petruska poses in 80s era Versace staples and pieces from other luxury labels like Emporio Armani and Gucci.
Boasting a cinematic quality, this image series is enhanced with neon-lit store fronts and luxe hotel lobby decor that serves as its backdrop. Styling for 'Gigolo' is courtesy of Bhisan Rai who handpicks Mialan's eye-catching and revealing wardrobe staples.
