For a Fucking Young! Online exclusive, photographer Haru Kim was on set to capture model Jiwoong Han in a series of images that have a unique style to them, which seems to verge on a [post-apocalyptic theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wrangler-x-the-last-of-us).

To generate the unconventional looks and imagery, stylist Terry Shin put together a number of pieces from the BLACKMERLE Fall/Winter 2018 collection. Spotlighted in the shots are bomber jackets, accessories like hats and scarves, classic leather coats, oversized pants with [military-style embellishments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25), and more.

With the [utilitarian style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set) of the majority of the clothing, and the dark and moody styling of the shots themselves, the exclusive editorial looks like it could come from the set of 'Mad Max.'
