If you're tired of photoshoots featuring [brooding men and sexy seductresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tough-guys-soft-sweaters), then you need to check out Gabriele Trapani's 'The Warriors.' 'The Warriors' is a photoshoot inspired by the [classic movie of the same name](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twilight-of-the-warriors-walled-in) and features hipsters, clowns and shirtless men in a battle royale.

Despite its violent name, there isn't much fighting in 'The Warriors' spread. The shoot instead focuses on the [excellent makeup and costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) that bring the combatants to life. If you like what you see in the gallery be sure to check out the making-of video as well.
