The 'Good Time Charlie' editorial makes [rebellious adolescent behavior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren) look so bad yet so good at the same time.

Bathed in [black and white shots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) as well as muted dimly lit ones, the photo shoot features model Charlie as he smokes, drinks and acts like an angst-ridden teenager. Shot by Ronan Gallagher exclusively for F*cking Young and styled by Charlotte Holt, the series features pieces from labels like [American Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamine-yamal-x-american-eagle) and Ksubi. Charlie's blonde hair and tattoos almost remind me of Ryan Gosling's character from 'The Place Beyond the Pines'; generally up to no good, but with good intentions.

If you've been through those days when anything and everything seemed like a good reason to get angry, then the images from Good Time Charlie may just resonate with you.
