# Retro Rocker Shoots The Men Are From Mars Editorial Features Vintage Styling By Jana Pijak | Published 2012-02-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/men-are-from-mars-editorial References: [steelmachines.wordpress](http://steelmachines.wordpress.com/2012/02/07/men-are-from-mars/) & [hommemodel.blogspot](http://hommemodel.blogspot.com/2011/12/editorial-men-are-from-mars.html) The Man About Town 'Men Are From Mars' editorial features retro menswear looks with a rockstar fashion flair. From vintage staples like [distressed denims](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaboozey-and-matty-matheson), rockabilly-inspired scarves and eye-catching leather looks, this edgy portrait series takes style cues from the past. While carefree streetwear selects make for a comfortable wardrobe, dynamic denim jump suits and graphic patterns make for bold statement pieces. Captured by the lens of photographer Willy Vanderperre, models Carlos Peters, Chris Beek, Davvid Schaffranke, Johnny George, Julien P, Max Rendell and Sam Lewis pose in a mix of high contrast monochromatic and color-infused images. The 'Men Are From Mars' editorial features a wardrobe outfitted by stylist Olivier Rizzo, with models wearing a multitude of designer selects from labels that include [Calvin Klein Jeans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calvin-klein-hair-body-perfume-mists), [Prada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dimensions-eyeshadow-palette), Raf Simons and Jil Sander among others.
