The 'Rebel with a Cause' Wiener magazine editorial stars model Patrick Kafka who channels screen legend James Dean. Patrick is groomed to perfection by Marie-Theres Weinmann, who gives him a 50s-worthy coif that compliments rugged wardrobe selects, styled by Ali Rabbani.

Photographed by Mortiz Schell, the model stars in a [cinematic story](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) conceived by Wiener fashion editor Christoph Steiner and art director Nina Ulrich. Sporting a mix of [retro denim styles, biker-inspired leather jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-styles) and other [greaser garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greaser-garage-jacket), Patrick is the spitting image of James Dean.

The top model poses with a vintage car, holds a striking stare while smoking a cigarette and clutches a retro film camera in a shoot that revives past menswear styles. The Rebel with a Cause Wiener magazine editorial is a photographic tribute to a film star gone too soon.
