Paying homage to a 90s grunge aesthetic, the '50 Boys of Summer' editorial features some of the most talented model up-and-comers in the business. Photographer Eva K. Salvi's latest exclusive for F****** Young! Online captures 50 models on London streets that include Elite's Jake Hold, FM's Jimmy Q and Select face Alexander just to name a few.
The inked models channel their inner hoodlum while posing amidst an urban backdrop. Outfitted by wardrobe stylist Krishan Parmar, the guys pull off a casual wardobe of vintage-inspired streetwear from the labels that include Baartmans & Siegel, Supreme Being and Billionaire Boys Club among others.
The '50 Boys of Summer' editorial exclusive for F****** Young! captures candid imagery of its edgy model stars. These images defy tradition and embrace a bold vision of masculinity that is both raw and unconventional.
