The long-haired model is lensed by photographer Liz Ham, who captures him in a high-fashion in-studio editorial. Outfitted by stylist Jolyon Mason, the haunting 'Gothlete' Manuscript Magazine editorial shines a light on edgy athletic-wear pieces from labels that include [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scary-good-campaign) and [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zne-collection) among others.
