'Urban Feelings' by Philipp Jelenska is a menswear shoot that updates the devil-may-care attitude James Dean embodied in 'Rebel Without a Cause.' A standard black motorcycle jacket and tailored jeans make their appearance, as does a skinny white suit with rolled-up trousers.
'Urban Feelings' by Philipp Jelenska breathes modern life into rebellious youth fashion; even gentlemanly suits get a roughed-up edge using leather.
