Marcel Castenmiller for Nylon Guys is a captivating shoot. The fun, [street-wear shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens) features a vibrant and bold wardrobe.

The playful pictorial, lensed by photographer Ben Rayner, goes outside the box, mixing a rock and roll inspired wardrobe with youthful styling. The dynamic captures feature bright hues paired with black and white statement pieces with a rockstar edge. [Geometric checkerboard socks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25), tees and sweaters are a perfect quirky staple while a [suited panda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panda-station) serves as the perfect prop in the photographs.
