London based photographer Claire Huish captures the 'Drive' Ben Trovato exclusive editorial. This striking portrait series has a nostalgic vibe referencing a strong [grunge influence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection) along with 80s imagery and wardrobe styling.

Showing off pink-hued lighting and hazy filtering effects, these [modern glamour shots exude femininity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren). Model Justine is edgy sporting three different hair looks that range from sleek long locks to messy up-dos.

The Drive Ben Trovato exclusive also references the [popular Ryan Gosling film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) of the same name and substitutes electric hued neon lights with a blurred rosy glow. A modernized take on a retro grunge aesthetic, these pastel portraits reinvent a classic cultural movement for a new generation of fashion followers.
