Miles Marsh stars in F******* Young! Online's self-titled 'Miles' editorial that features retro fashions and candid photography. The image series is lensed by photographer Sophie Mayanne and features wardrobe styling by the talented Dasha Kova.

Drawing inspiration from the 70s, stylist Dasha dresses model Miles in rocker-themed wardrobe picks like fringed suede coats, retro denim pants and sequined jackets that complement his long and curly hair style. His wardrobe also features retro denim looks and knits that are patterned and eye-catching.

F****** Young! Online's 'Miles' exclusive boasts fashions from a number of labels including Kit Neale, Katie Eary and Topman Design. Its candid photography exudes a youthful and effortlessly cool air and is an homage to iconic rock portraits from the 70s.
