Starring [James](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peter-james) Phillips at [London Mgt Group](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Este-Lauder-Companies-Announced), the 'James' Male Model Scene editorial exclusive embodies a youthfully rebellious air. The long-haired model is captured by photographer Pat Supsiri while posing in a set of moody portraits.

The Australian model exudes an effortlessly cool surfer vibe thanks to styling with pieces from [The Stables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-power-of-simple-experience). Whether sporting leather motorcycle jackets, grungy plaid shirts or fun graphic tees, the young model shows off his edgy look and proves he is a future face to watch.

The 'James' Male Model Scene editorial is inspired by an aesthetic of retro rebellion and features a rocker-chic wardrobe of youthful menswear staples. Worn by model James Phillips, these pieces are accentuated with long, blond locks that are courtesy of stylist Luke Nicholson for Evo Hair.
