Stylish model Stefan Knezevic rocks slicked back hair and some 50’s style suits in this editorial by fashion photographer Maurizio Montani. Knezevic plays the part of a fashion forward rebel in these shots. He smokes, plays with guns and stands around looking extremely cool in these [sleek fashion photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25).

These shots look almost James Dean inspired. Knezevic sports [leather jackets, classy suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tough-guys-soft-sweaters), bow ties and spring jackets. Some of these shots were done in black and white while others feature purple-hued lighting. The one thing all these shots have in common (aside from the gelled back hair) is that they all make Knezevic look like a bad boy.

These shots look like they could have been pulled from a spy movie. Montani’s editorial blends [fashion and danger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) in a way that really grabs attention.
