Androgynous model Ton Heukels wears a wardrobe of [vintage rocker fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection) in GQ Style UK's "Like a Rolling Stone" editorial. The image series is captured by photographer Sean Thoman and features styling that pays homage to [Rolling Stones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rolling-stone) founder and original band member Brian Jones.

Though often overshadowed by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Brian made waves as a style icon before his death in 1969. Ton Heukels channels the deceased rocker in this series that highlights oversized hats, [flamboyant suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/replica-suit) and a retro coif.

Vintage rocker fashion makes a triumphant return in this GQ Style UK editorial that looks to the 70s for its flamboyant and eclectic wardrobe picks. This editorial graces the publication's Fall/Winter 2014 issue.
