Huw Mitchell at Elite London stars in the "Boy Wonder" editorial exclusive for web publication F****** Young! Online. The model is captured by photographer Gwenaëlle Trannoy's lens and outfitted by wardrobe stylist Anna Volosenko.

Huw is dressed to impress while posing in a range of [elegantly modern suit sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kody-phillips), paneled knitwear pieces and [structured outerwear looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir) that are a fresh translation of timeless menswear styles.

In addition to its elegant wardrobe, F****** Young! Online's "Boy Wonder" editorial features conceptual makeup looks that are courtesy of beauty expert Tamash Sharkan. The [blue face paint applications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela) are randomly placed on model Huw's face resulting in a high fashion aesthetic that is ambiguous and vanguard. These cosmetic applications are unexpected and add a whimsical touch to this sophisticated image series.
