VANGARDIST Magazine's Berliner issue is captured by fashion photographer Vratko Barcik's lens. The publication's "Berliner Jungs" cover story features models Kohy and Lukas B who channel retro cadet and sailor characters.

The guys are outfitted by stylist Daniel Foltynek who works alongside the magazine's fashion director Mirza Sprecakovic. The creative duo dresses their models in [retro denim jean and jacket pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-styles) that are paired with anchored body ink and [badge-decorated army hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relwen-sailcloth-tanker-jacket).
