Dazed -- the online version of hipster mag Dazed and Confused -- has recently released a short fashion film called 'The Outsiders.' The Outsiders is the love child of indie director Sharif Hamza and Dazed's Senior Menswear Editor Robbie Spencer.
Inspired by teen angst, The Outsiders shows teenagers at a party expressing their sexuality, aggression and all other confusing emotions associated with adolescence.
The film also shows collections from McQ, Benetton, Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci, Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana, Woo Young Mi, J Lindeberg and Levi's.
