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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time). Outfitted by wardrobe stylist Krishan Parmar, the guys pull off a casual wardobe of [vintage-inspired streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diary-1999) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet) that is both raw and unconventional.
