Arthur Gosse stars in 'Fairy Tale', the whimsical cover story for the Fall/Winter 2014 issue of Men's Uno. The fashion story is captured by photographer Nicolas Valois and features imagery of its model's mouse and toad co-stars.

Arthur is covered with mice and toads in the story while donning a wardrobe of colored outerwear and other autumn attire that is paired with gilded crown accessories.

The top model takes on a whimsical prince role and stars in a series that is fairy tale themed, much like its respected title. This Arthur Gosse exclusive of Men's Uno embraces a range of eccentric fashions. The styles include metallic suit sets, forest green coats and patterned knitwear pieces that embody a couture sensibility.
