For the latest issue of Zoo Magazine, they produced a spread of pictures not inspired by our latest go-to eras of the 80s or 90s, but instead, the magazine took it back to the 50s for a super stylish rockabilly spread.

The photo spread in Zoo Magazine features loose hair, frayed denim, men with super slicked Grease-esque hair, and skin-tight jumpsuits. The throwback spread is a momentary but welcome change from our recent [80s obsession](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/80s-rock-exhibit).
