Rockabilly rebel by Maciej Kucia is a gorgeous series for I Heart Tokyo Magazine that resembles the American 1950s. This series features model Leiah Fournier wearing gorgeous floral dresses, high-rise shorts and blouses.

The model's short hair has been pulled back in a loose pony tail, and her look channels a 50s hairstyle with blunt thick bangs. The stylist Jason Lee Coates has accessorized the model with [cat-eyed sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-retro-collection), a cigarette, oversized heart earrings and platform pumps. The makeup artist Owada Akiko has applied a [rosy lipstick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maczine), tan eyeshadow and peach bronzer.

This model resembles a good girl gone bad, and looks flirty, feminine and haute in her old school designs. The photographer has also captured this series with a purple-hued glow in a [retro nightclub](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-54) that gives it a rock and roll vibe.
